    Have you felt the e-LSD?

    I think I felt the e-LSD today. I drove around the office for about 20 miles. I gave it about 1/2 throttle at the apex of a turn and for like a 1/4 sec, it felt the car was slow to rotate but then it looks like the brakes hits the inner rear wheel and you rotate faster. I maybe blowing smoke out...

    Finally got both together. The V6 needs a wash, sat at dealer for a week and they didn't even give it a basic wash before pickup.

    Have you returned for service since delivery?

    Just a FYI. I don't know how many of you have gone back to the dealer since you got your car. I have now gone back to the dealer twice since I got my V6 back in last Apr/May. First was last July for my 1000 miles oil change (not required but I'm old school) and it received like 4-5 software...

    Question for US i4 owners

    One thing I didn't have a chance to try on my i4 before dropping it off for PPF is doing a quick sequential shift as some early reviews show that it does not take quick double tap on up/downshift kindly and will only do one gear at a time. Anyone tried doing quick multiple tabs on the paddles...

    5 minutes phone mount

    I just did a quick phone mount on mine. Probably not the best looking but it took like 5 minutes to setup. I used one of this and cut off the top part of the circle tape. Someone said that the USB port near the shift linkage does not provide enough power to charge the phone but the charging...

    My wild Emira predictions, come shoot holes in it.

    The first one is obvious (and verbally confirmed by my sales contact). I guess everyone have heard that V6 Base configurator is being moved back to end of 2024 or even early 2025. What's new is that there will be further FE 3.0 allocation with MY2025. Delivery for those will begins in Q4 2024...

    The end is near (end of the V6)

    Is the Toyota Camry V6 used in any other model or by any other manufacturer other than Lotus? The 2025 Camry lineup was revealed yesterday and they're all hybrid based on a 2.5L I4 (no more ICE) Does that means the end of the Emira V6 as I don't think the V6 demand will be enough for Toyota to...

    Anyone thinking about the "Final Edition" in a few years?

    Since I missed the cutoff for a V6 FE 2.0, I went for a March production I4 but I've already placed another deposit of a "Final Edition" V6 manual.. The I4 will be on a 3 year lease and I'll time the delivery for the V6 on lease end (or sooner if they decided to stop V6 production early). I will...
