Agree with the girl in the cafe. I took my Emira to the South of France and I was amazed at the reaction it got. Even driving around St Tropez where there are so many super cars, everyone loved the Emira.

Oooh, that is nice !

Where did you get the seat cover?

When I sort out my Apple car play I will try Waze. I have the app on my phone so have used it a while back. It gets good reviews.

Thanks Andy. If you ever do the Route Napoleon from the north like we did the Chateau Commanderie just outside Grenoble is a great stopover. It is nothing fancy but is comfortable and has a nice outside swimming pool a good restaurant (one of our best meals) and plenty of parking. You could...

I tried connecting to Apple car play but it would not connect for some reason. When in France I use a Free fr sim to provide me with a mobile hotspot so I can get WiFi wherever I go. I then switch off my mobile data on my uk phone. But maybe I need to leave this on to get CarPlay?

Just returned from holiday to South of France (Grimaud) in my i4. Clocked up around 2200 miles door to door, so virtually doubled mileage on car. Purchased the car in March 2024. Glad to report not a single issue with the car. To be honest, I have not had any real issues with the car since...

Sundown in the South of France

It sounds like I might have experienced this issue. I was driving my i4 on quite a twisty bit of the Route Napoleon last weekend in Sport mode and the car stayed in 2nd or 3rd gear and revving hard for what seemed an unnatural length of time before changing. I like to think I drive quite...

Sounds ideal. Thanks for feedback.

Sounds similar. From what I have read there are not many hairpin bends etc and hopefully the views will distract from the road.

Anyone driven their Emira on the Route Napoleon? I am setting off for the South of France next week with the wife and I want to go via this route. My wife is not so keen. Wondering how full on it is. Supposed to be great views etc. I can’t see the point of driving down the autoroute all...

Black wheels are perfect for this colour combo

Great idea!

I have an i4 and do notice the turbo lag when in tour mode. It feels like a different car when in sports mode- virtually no turbo lag and a lot more responsive. This is what I hoped the Emira would be like and so love the car.

Two miniature dachshunds fit nicely behind the seats. One in a sports bag and the other is in a hessian shopping bag. They fidget a bit initially but once driving they settle down and have a snooze.

That’s good to hear. I having the software update when the car is serviced next month.

Nice colour combo and the stripe sets it off nicely. Happy driving.

Thanks for this Aero. Not tried a multimeter. Will look into this.

Thanks for the ideas. Looks like a new battery just got to decide btw normal or lithium.

Not used my car for about 8 weeks and battery now dead as a doe doe. Can’t seem to charge it up. I have tried jump leads and tried connecting a battery pack to the battery to get some charge into it and then connecting battery charger but nothing. I appreciate when the battery is dead you...

I had the same issue. As pointed out by someone else you need to ignore the Scorpion app and use the Lotus app instead.

Yes, I have similar issue with my i4. It is very hit and miss moving from D-N-R and vice versa. More miss than hit. Even when it does work it seems to take an age. It is embarrassing when traffic all around you as the delay is woeful for a car of this calibre. I must admit I have not raised...

Good spec. I fell in love with the Seneca blue from the initial advertising and it does look good with ice grey interior but if I had not gone for that I would have gone Verdant Green/tan interior. Classy. Enjoy, from fellow i4 owner.

Got my i4 in March this year and done around 900 miles so just about run in. Just suffered minor water ingress at bottom of passenger door. This has been sorted by local dealer at the same time they replaced rear discs. One of the rear discs was rusty on pick up and I flagged this up at the...

I love my i4, but I do have to agree that the downshift is on the slow side as is going from from R -N-D. It really should be quicker as there is an unwanted brief pause. Mine is a 24 plate. Still love it though.

Thanks for the detailed overview. Very useful. I have just booked the advanced for mid August. I have lowered my expectations for the course (based on actual driving time) so hopefully won’t be disappointed. Do they use any i4s or are they all manuals?

Cheers for that Eagle7. Most useful.

PPF time !

I was driving in heavy rain the other week and had water ingress while driving (see picture). The seals look ok, but taking back to dealer to see what they say.

That’s really helpful. I might do the same. As you say not bad as % of cost. I have a good place near me that does it.

Looks good. I’m thinking of having PPF on front of the car. Never used it before. Will It protect from stone chips? Do you mind saying how much it cost ? How long does it normally last?

Good summary. Agree with a lot of it. I also have Tour suspension and think it is perfect for normal roads. It is a better ride than my old Porsche Boxster and my wife’s Jag F type, yet handling is superb. I can imagine it will be v comfortable doing a long trip in it and fuel efficiency is...

Likewise, mine has ‘R’ and 350 days until next service, but not sure if this means too much.
