I’m sorry but if you think Lotus is bad then McLaren will set you straight

I thought this would be about the little gifts like the framed picture and the key holder. Still haven’t had mine yet!

Feel free to come have a drive in mine. I can assure you it’s not just vibration and noise 😅

Feels like VVT rather than supercharger related but doesn’t show on the graph…

That actually worked really well but completely unintuitive

What?! It’s under warranty that’s insane!

They’ve stopped doing it for the time being so it probably wasn’t done

Glad I’m not the only one. Definitely think once these are out of warranty that you could safely raise the rev limit to 7500. Think that would make for a more enjoyable drive as well

Not noticed this on mine but will check it out when I get the chance. Still not hearing anyone else with the same setup as myself. I’m hoping it’s not an issue and should be pulling harder for more rpm…

Driven so many B58 cars and they are fast but boring. The 2GR has way more character and is more exciting to drive in every aspect

So now the car is broken in I’ve noticed that the car gets to about 6k rpm and pulls hard. I’m not sure if that’s VVT giving it that extra shove buts it’s over all too quickly and then hits the limiter like a brick wall. It feels like the engine has way more too give like an extra 1000rpm of...

Some of these cars are very cheap 😅

I mean if Matt can’t sort it who can 😅

Who have you contacted in Lotus? Geoff Dowding is the executive director of sales and aftersales and I think he’ll be keen to hear of the failings in the process. He was when I told him of mine and now the cars sorted for now

Essentially the route we used

Quick pull on my private road

So update on the situation. After the car having been off the road longer than it should and myself and Jonathan at Stratton were having no luck getting parts from Lotus. I ended up going right to the top of the food chain of aftersales. Geoff was kind enough to say I was right to tell him about...

I keep a rag in the boot and push I around the filler cap. Dad gave me that advice as it’s the same on his Aston

Only a year wait? That’s very quick

Are there any updates on what Lotus is doing to fix this car?

A lot of driving aspects revolve around “feel” which is usually down to handling dynamics. The supras is poor for a sports car. Straight line performance means little. Also the Emira is more Toyota than the supra so there’s that.

Had to change my vote. 2 weeks and increasing!

Had the option of that car but it’s way too “BMW Bland” as i know it. Pretty quick but feels as boring as possible.

It’s when people leave it for weeks without driving it is the issue.

Sad times

Welcome to the club. More power steering issues

This is shocking. replacement car required long ago

Have to agree some of their modern cars are the ugliest things on the road!

When you say factory is that the stuff detailyoureyecandy has done for Lotus at Factory? Or do you mean the small amount of ppf they do around the arches etc?

If I get the same issues repeatedly I shall be doing the same

Yea doesn’t mean it’s right though. Must be the only car with this issue

Not got round to reading that but will take a look now. Hoping they get mine sorted sooner rather than later…
