    UK Paint Warranty- Escalations bribery!

    I complained to CS last year about the faults, failures and time my car has spent at the dealers and unusable, I was passed through to Escalations and after a couple of calls and numerous emails received the attached email.

    New MR2 from Toyota v Lotus Emira.

    Could the upcoming MR2 from Toyota kill off any future Emira sales? Looking pretty awesome to me coupled with Toyota reliability and from the GR division. Thoughts?

    Lotus UK offloading cars to this non Lotus dealership?

    44 Emiras/Eletres for sale at this independent UK dealership, another member mentioned his car had been bought back by Lotus and it turned up here. I appreciate Lotus need to sell the cars somewhere but this is depressing prices for all UK owners. The discount on some of the Eletres is crazy...

    Lotus escape being the most unreliable car manufacturer in the UK.

    Chinese owned MG top the league as the most unreliable car manufacturer in the UK, clearly Lotus owners didn't participate. 🙄 Similar pattern to Lotus, poor customer service, long wait times for parts, warranty work delayed, not enough dealers etc. The difference being their cars are a 1/3rd...

    Recalls and software update, parts delay.

    Just sat in JCT600 Lotus Bradford while my car has some of the recalls and software updates carried out. I've been informed that the wiper motor and seat belts are on back order for a few more weeks, I booked the car in 5 weeks ago. One of the software updates was to take 4 hours! I've chosen...
