Intermittent delay when pressing start button to car actually starting

[zoomtt]

Mine (V6 Manual) started at 2000 miles as well, now at 4k miles, it seems to not do it as much, could be temp related. I don't think about it much, as it always starts

I just dropped off at dealer for inspection on issue, they are investingating it, mine would take 2-3 seconds usually and up to 5 seconds every once in a while, its just not quite right. Will post update on what Lotus says

Mine had a service yesterday. I was told the 25004 VDDM software update they did had something to do with car start up problems.

Mine has had delayed starting since day one of ownership. A year later, no problems with my Emira. It concerned me to initially, but I figured it’s one of the cars quirks.
