    Emira Criticisms vs. My Experience

    Have had 3 Porsches all had some issues, but loved the dam things. I have had my lotus since march +5,000 miles. One issue and it was fixed in a reasonable amount of time. Three things 1. Looks amazing no Porsche compares. Below 1/2 million. Only McLaren & Ferraris . Had it parked next to a...

    Doesnt always start first go.

    My car has only not started twice in 5000miles. Turn the car completely off lock the doors and wait 30sec. Starts normal 😊 I panicked the first time, and the second time was on a trip with my wife. Don’t freak out. It makes things worse… Something’s in this car can’t be rushed. It is one...

    How do you check the radiator fluid level ?

    Hey 👋 you can check both coolest levels without removing the cover. 1. Pop the trunk 2. With a flashlight shine light down between the air intake for the supercharger and the coolant reservoir. 3. Bend down and look through the thin vent slats. You will see the coolant level and the max fill...

    How do you check the radiator fluid level ?

    There are 2 coolant reservoirs. Both are under the engine cover. You can see the levels in both without removing the engine cover. However it is easier if you remove the cover.

    Two bad things

    Use the car more often, this happens to my Porsche after a wash it and let it sit. The higher the humidity in the ambient environment the great the chance the parking brake sticks. Time & Humidity are only things I have fount to cause brakes locking.

    The 1st Edition isn't exclusive

    I got the lower price too… beautiful car! It’s hard to comprehend how beautiful it is. Porsche owners are always gawking, staring, admiring my Emira.. FE does seem like a con job, but the Beauty is real and so is the fun… Have only see 2 in the wild 1 Salsalito, California 2 McAllen Texas...

    Alfa 4c looking to purchase an Emira but am unsure

    In conclusion; Porsche Cayman Boxster reliability, easy to service. Good looking. Easy to drive, forgiving at the limit… everything you have read. Alfa 4c more problems mechanically Service and maintenance can take longer. Good looking also, however it does have some angles that look...

    Throttle House Cancel Their Emira....

    I considered the Z06 2 years ago and talked to a few dealerships. One wants $195,000 and the other $200,000 something like a 50-60k market adjustment. At that point I would be looking at something way more special. MSRP was the when the car looked attractive… I will say I get a lot of...

    Porsche ends combustion engine in 718 Cayman/Boxster in 2025.

    Porsche is killing the business… I was at the Porsche dealership in Austin Tx today.. Speaking with the service folks they replace 2 Tycan batteries a month… That’s 35-40k oach the bleeding edge of progress… Toyota isn’t doing electric and MB is discounting theirs 20-30k Demand isn’t...

    Why are so many Emiras being resold in the USA?

    I understand your frustration, but lotus has always been a small business with big dreams. I understood from the start it was going to take time. Not 3 years! However I have had zero problems and my dealership ( Houston ) was kind and supportive throughout the process… I don’t want a McLaren...

    Why are so many Emiras being resold in the USA?

    I will note that my Emira drove really ruff the first 600-1000miles. The brakes were really touchy, sometimes throwing the passenger forward. The gear shift was stiff and sometimes didn’t want to go into first. The acceleration was not smooth… In short not a nice place to be compared to my...

    Wheels rocks chips

    That’s my last todo. Windshield protection it is like PPF but really prevents rock chips.

    Wheels rocks chips

    2700 Miles a few scratches. No chips yet. I did ceramic coat the wheels with less than 300 miles maybe that helps 🤔

    Savage Geese review

    Have had mine 900 care free miles. Not a single issue, except me learning to drive this beautiful machine…. The only real problem with a Emira is all the attention it gets. When you least expect it… Was signing some documents at the title company and a guy in a white Mercedes truck waited for...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    Having just picked mine up and driven it 500miles. I have to say it is on a different level than any of our Porsche’s. You definitely feel it’s an exotic car. One of my neighbor’s son who is studies mechanical engineering at UT. Stated “ my Camry doesn’t look like your new super car, it’s...

    Does the car scrape easily?

    Yes the emira scrapes I have done it 2 in less than 400miles. However it is not the front painted section or the little blank strip in the middle. Mine has two small black humps in front of the wheels the have scratches on them right and left. I will take a picture and post Tuesday. Fishing 🎣
