Thanks for the feedback and great to hear you are still loving it. Too much negativity on this forum most of the time. Buying my emira for the same reasons as you; not so fussed about 0-60 etc. Can’t wait for mine to arrive. Disappointing that the KEF system seems to be sub par, especially as it’s their first move into the automotive industry, seems strange they have got it so wrong as those guys know what they are doing. Wonder if this feedback is getting back to KEF and if it too late to do anything about it for future cars…..Must say I enjoy my Emira more and more. Despite all reviews and issues. I bought it as a thing that makes me happy by the handling and sounds (an opposite of a Tesla and all the cars coming today) and looks (that's why I take pictures on every ride). If the car is 0.1 seconds faster or not or if there is some water flowing down when opening the tailgate... that aren't serious problems for me. I would appreciate when Lotus will come with some updates but it is not so essential...
I have already 2100 kms of my Emira, most of them on backcountry roads to run it in at the best way. The Sport mode is the one I use often. Good sounds, better response of the engine, maybe comsumption is a little higher (1 litre???/100 kms). I can already go to the red line for a short time, the sound in the north of 5500 rpms is perfect, I enjoy it!
The car drives as glued to the road, it seems to be "more glued" with the speed (especially at 180/200/220 km/h - I live near the German border so I tried the Autobahn too). Didn't try more than 230 km/h because of summer tires and temperatures under 10 (Celsius). The steering response is perfect. I don't use brakes at their limit, so about brakes I can't give a lot of info.
The accessories fitted on FE are a fine bundle, the KEF system could be better (it doesn't lack sound quality after setting of the strange equalizer to strange values but it lacks volume - very strange - the volume is the first thing even a simple system does perfect I think).
Feel free to ask me more
Over a week ago I contacted KEF about recommended sound profiles for the Emira, but the person that responded was from sales. They said they'd reach out to the engineering teams. After a week of no response, I emailed again on Friday with more details, including that the majority of feedback from people is that the KEF system isn't very good, which I know doesn't fit with their reputation. I realize the person I was emailing was in sales, and the questions I was asking weren't his area of responsibility, so I asked for a contact person in engineering that I would be able to communicate with. Hopefully sometime next week I'll get a response.

Clearly they would be better with a blue car, but you cant have everything
really beautiful the last photo, I would get it printed for my wall, if it was blue, I mean if I were you.
the rear license plate light seems the brightest light on the car.....
So you find the LED headlights good?
happy with diamond cut wheels? they look great.......
Hate to ask, but what kind of fuel eco are you getting so far? not great I imagine...
How many women have you had to fight off so far?
thanks for your updates, glad some of the EU customers are giving back to the forum to us poor Emiraless others
HOLY MACKEREL, are you a professional photographer in your spare time?? 🤯😍 These are some of the most gorgeous car photos I've ever seen, and I've been looking at car photos every day for the past 7 years. Seriously, well done! Can I request full-resolution copies of the last two pictures to use as backgrounds on my 4K monitor?

Yeah, the second one with Emira pointing off towards the horizon is just as beautiful as the car itself. Thank you for posting these!Taken with a Samsung S22 Ultra. No tripod. No postprocessing. Just found the right place and the right time. Didn't rain for maybe 14 days so could go into that field. That's it
@eriegz You have a PM! Enjoy!
Those are "brochure worthy" pictures. Better than any "official" photo I have seen. Awesome!Another perfect Sunday afternoon... the Hethel Yellow is an awesome autumn colour

wait till my Emira arrives!Phones cameras + AI are getting so good these days, I think I'll sell my Leica M and use it to fund some PPF for the Emira.
Was out shooting 3 rolls of film in the fog this morning, camera failed on the last roll, damn phone camera's, these kids have no idea how easy they have it
don't be sorry at all, I envy you in the good sense, and it helps the loooong wait to see your car pics and all the comments about it. thanksDo you expect Apple to release each new model in 3 years starting from now?
(Sorry for that I have my beloved car already, I'm very sorry...)
... on Monday my Emira will go under a cover and sleep 🛏️😴💤 until the snow leaves us 🌸🌞🌡️
nothing like hanging your dirty or clean laundry out in public.. haha.The final product after 90 minutes of work
