Absolutely excellent Tom, well worth the wait. Enjoy. Great choice.

They state 14 working days, mine was returned a couple of days earlier than this.

They are muppets, I cancelled some 3 weeks ago and received my £5k deposit last week. Today I received the email that due to my delivery of June my Emira price has risen to £81,995. Don’t they know I am out? Does one hand know what the other is doing. Beggars belief. They are bloody useless. I...

That’s about it, in dealers list prior to reveal, when online booking opened up, left behind by inadequacy of Lotus and their dealers to get a early slot. Pre-reveal customers had no method to influence order. Tom E tried to help, but no resolve. Then the debacle here in the UK on test drives...

I am at a loss to understand their business logic. They have not looked after “in their words LEGACY” customers” at all. Yet, happy to oblige others who have simply flipped for a so called profit. Yet, in my eyes these people are not Lotus devotees, who have supported the brand for years. In my...

Received my refund around 10 days after email cancelling. Refund was in two parts the first £2k and the second £3k. All done now and my Lotus journey of 50 years is now over.

Arrived this week. Very happy with performance and look, first Porsche service has been amazing from non agent model. Flowers for the wife, special display box for keys and personal photo frame of car being delivered.

I also felt detached at my test drive and overall the excitement had declined over the waiting period. The experience has been truly awful when it should have been the opposite. The excitement is back on as the 718 Spyder is being delivered on Thursday. Open top motoring with 414BHP and manual...

Is there a net in the boot/ trunk as well - on S1 Evora’s they provided one on Evora400 it was deleted.

This stalk is exactly the same as my Volvo XC60 - to start the the wiper in rain sensing mode - you press the housing - there is a switch inside. Press with you thumb.

Interesting in the email they tell me the month of my cancelled Emira build - but no delivery month. They are playing cute and non committal due to PDI and delivery. Beggars belief.

Just received an update via email from Lotus customer care, my car is now June, I knew that last week that’s why I cancelled. No joined up writing here!! Then note goes onto tell me about Emira arriving in Australia/New Zealand in May 2023 for the first time, I thought I had seen videos on...

I run a 2018 XC60 Volvo, it’s wonderfully built and I have had no issues at all software or otherwise. I cannot understand why Geely/Volvo didn’t use the full software architecture from Volvo, they used items like switches and stalks - it would have been common sense to take the full system and...

That looks and sounds mega. Well done and enjoy. 👍👍

Thank you so much for your confirmation of my choice. My first Porsche after having Jaguars, Aston Martin Vantage, Lotus, Chrysler Crossfire uhh do not ask!!! Lotus have been making roadsters for years: Lotus 6/7 Lotus Elan S1 - S4 and sprint Lotus Elan M100 Lotus Elise Lotus Exige But...

I cancelled because of the wait- I couldn’t at 70 waste another driving year as I have planned trips and there was no guarantee I would get my Emira in time and was really concerned of the Forum members issues on quality. Thus, I have bought a 718 Spyder 4.0ltr a 2020 manual model with a great...

I cancelled on Thursday this week initially via phone and then Email, received an email Friday from LCC - stating money will be returned within 14 days. So hope it arrives then. Will keep you informed.

Well I have had enough - today I requested my £5000 back. I am not prepared to continue this saga. I texted someone in Lotus at the weekend who I thought would do something - again no response as if it had gone into a black hole. LCS asked for me to email them and confirm card dates on...

You need to join Club Lotus quarterly magazine and regional meets.

I checked my emails and telephone calls with my Lotus dealer, it was 11/6/2021 when I notified them to be on their pre-reveal list. no 5-6!!! After waiting a few weeks after reveal, then my dealer informed me I had to place my deposit online!! Well done dealership☹️ Sorry tail has continued...

Because I insisted on a test drive as I chose sport, and Harry and lots of others pushed tour. So I needed to check myself. Then Lotus came back and unilaterally decided that I would be pushed into a 2023 delivery - so I have been pushed back ever since. Even, with a contact at Lotus nothing...

That’s very kind of you, but you have to remember that I am a Pre-reveal customer and we do not get any preferential treatment - whatsoever- Tom will confirm! Sorry I am Magma, full black pack, Ice Grey Leather, leather steering wheel, silver wheels and privacy glass. With an orange balloon to...

I can’t even get a bloody Emira.

Totally agree - I don’t believe a word that they say now after being delayed yet again today by another month. I had to chase LCS to find out, they have never contacted me to let me know the bad news. ☹️

I rang LCS this morning to get an update on delivery. Last email from Lotus on 9th December that I had been pushed back to April build May Delivery - it’s now changed once I enquired. It’s now May build - June Delivery another month - do we believe them, no I don’t!!! I have booked the ferry...

Beautify is in the eye of the beholder. But respect your view. 🫣

i think you are right. We have become spoilt for choice on many items, cars in particularly- I remember in the 70/80’s consumed with the Esprit, Ferrari 308 and 911. More so when I watched ‘The Spy who Loved me’ in Kuwait in 1978. I vowed to own an Esprit then. I realised this in 1990 with a...

And it maybe in their financial opportunity to delay - more costs for them. I am forever, the doom merchant ad I have seen this in my working life, opportunities to increase the bottom line is always a motivator, believe me!

Added this to my Evora400 a take on the Evora sport racer.

I had the same problem with my Evora400 - even changing door seals under warranty couldn’t sort out. I believe it was a door alignment issue, more than the seal- glass didn’t fit first seal and then second seal. Glass seemed out, I would check the door.

Could they be working from home? This would explain the different stories .

This in my mind suggests a project and management breakdown. Communication and understanding of all project issues has to be known for the right outcome to be realised. In my mind some departments are working in bubbles - particularly from your post in Customer Services. They are delusional as...

That’s exactly what seems to be happening, same as last year when all the cars went to China and also cars to Oz. They cannot supply to all markets - but I am guessing here, the North American market is too huge to ignore, so something has to give, and I guess it could be the UK customers. We...

I find their attitude ingratiating and frankly unprofessional. I do hope they are reading this forum as they are about to alienate so many Lotus fans and potentially new conquests review what they are buying into. I had the feeling there was additional management structure in place, these...

Very balanced view Tom. Coming from both an Evora S1 and Evora400 - I think your succinct analysis mirrors my thoughts and concerns. I wanted it to be different than the Evora - it is, but not in the way I wanted it to be, I wanted it to be better 11/10 better. It’s different and underwhelming...

Referring to service book and TomE spreadsheet , spark plugs should only happen at 6th year service, but my service at Lotus they were insistent to change. Why I don’t know🤷🏻‍♂️
