LOVE HIM!!!

Doug does my head in but I still find myself watching his videos because he’s really to the point and very detailed. Much why I like JayEmm but I actually like JayEmm 😂

Honestly, Doug has something a bit different, in a sea of YouTubers he stands out to me as great fun

He's very detailed oriented, which I like! I typically watch the first 2/3 of his videos for all the details and quirks, but skip the driving impressions bit. I leave that up to Harris, Reid, and Catchpole.

 

[GetawayDriving]

Not only one of the best pieces of Lotus Emira media I've seen to date, but one of the best car reviews I've seen in years. This one hits different because of those stakes. It captures all of the worry, excitement, and toil of buying something like this. The review itself couldn't be more glowing. Since James (and Thomas) is/are probably on the board, thank you! Absolutely brilliant video.

 

[d15b7]

Wow!!! They love loved that car on the Canyons! (it’s natural habitat I’d say! 😊)

 

[Lotus64]

Chris Harris and throttle house are the best in the business right now.

 

[kitkat]

Throttle House 😍 review was great!

 

[Lotustoronto]

Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but they nailed my feelings when I test drove the Emira.

Excellent review.

 

[hagen111]

Chris Harris and throttle house are the best in the business right now.

I have found their vids recently and have to state that Throttle House has become one of my favorite car channels on YouTube! Supernice reviews and mixed opinions between them.

 

[kitkat]

@JamesTH you seem genuinely excited to (eventually) get your car, looking forward to all the future TH content with the Emira!

My fiancée was laughing about the bit with the rollercoaster of emotions you’ve had over it. Same, and she was poking fun at me for it.

 

[Art1faqt]

Been waiting for James and Thomas to get their hands on it since the car was released. I’d jump off a cliff if they recommended it!

 

[Magma]

Great review!! Made me excited all over again! Throttle House guys rock!

 

[supersix]

Great review and video from the TH guys! I'd love to see them compare the two different engines.

How could these statements not get you excited?!

"I think this car is an absolute win!"

"One of the best pure sports car in the world right now"

Now we just need some good news from Lotus to follow...

My takes:
I’m def getting silver brakes, diamond cut wheels, V6 and manual.
during my test drive, in between laughing, I kept telling my sales guy it felt like a grown up Miata, so great to hear the Emira is where Miata meets Porsche. I also LOVE they talked about the gearing, constantly shifting. I’m so all in and just told my girl as much.
Cannot wait for Doug, geese and jack, big Matt and Josh, and motomantv.

 

[VL3X]

James mentioned my (or my wife's) Voldermort comment.

 

[lion shf]

That’s HILARIOUS

 

[Magicman]

I love throttle House reviews, watch them all the time on the turbo (indoor bike) and that's a great review for the car, hopefully more of these sorts of reviews when production cars hit the media more

 

[dgrace]

I think it's a little ironic that they mentioned how Lotus has the car unrealistically slammed in the configurator and media images, but then they did the same thing on the static cover shot for the video. (or maybe that was a subtle joke directed at Lotus)

 

[idleuser]

Interesting to see James from TH only placed a deposit 1 year ago in Canada but he got a build slot and placed his 2nd deposit down. I guess it pays to be a social media influencer. Otherwise, great review.

 

[frazzer]

Such a shame we have to have a front number plate in the UK! TH hit all the hopes I had for the Emira, not about the numbers, but the experience. Can't wait to get delivery in a few weeks.
