A few minor issues I just want to confirm whether they are normal or not.. (V6 manual)

1) The rear view mirror vibrates and jiggles. Even noticeable on relatively smooth roads.

2) The washer jets are comparatively weak compared to other cars. They work, but don't exactly blast the windscreen all over.

3) Sometimes in certain gear and rev combinations when you depress the clutch pedal there's a slight 'grittyness' in the feel as you push it down (minor but noticeable). In other combinations, and always in neutral it's perfectly smooth like butter.

None of these issues cause any real issues day to day. Just checking it's the same on all cats..

1) The rear view mirror vibrates and jiggles. Even noticeable on relatively smooth roads. - Rock solid, no vibration ever

2) The washer jets are comparatively weak compared to other cars. They work, but don't exactly blast the windscreen all over. - 4500 miles and never used them once.

3) Sometimes in certain gear and rev combinations when you depress the clutch pedal there's a slight 'grittyness' in the feel as you push it down (minor but noticeable). In other combinations, and always in neutral it's perfectly smooth like butter. - have never noticed any difference in 4500 miles

Interesting. Out of the three issues that is the one I thought most likely to be 'normal'. Sure I remember it being mentioned in a car review.
 
A few minor issues I just want to confirm whether they are normal or not.. (V6 manual) V6 manual here too.

1) The rear view mirror vibrates and jiggles. Even noticeable on relatively smooth roads. - Mine is solid, it doesn't jiggle anymore than the rest of the car does.

2) The washer jets are comparatively weak compared to other cars. They work, but don't exactly blast the windscreen all over. Washer jets seem fine to me - comparable to other cars.

3) Sometimes in certain gear and rev combinations when you depress the clutch pedal there's a slight 'grittyness' in the feel as you push it down (minor but noticeable). In other combinations, and always in neutral it's perfectly smooth like butter. No grittyness in the clutch on my V6 manual.
 
Same: none for me. You should have them checked out; especially the "vibrating mirror" which I'd find annoying.
 
I noticed the mirror vibration. Touring suspension, but only on mediocre or worse roads. It's fine on decent roads. I assumed it's just the consequence of the extremely communicative suspension.
Your washer nozzles might be mis-aimed. They are in my new Porsche as well and if I remember right you can stick a safety pin in the nozzles and aim them a bit. That said, my Emira's aren't particularly strong.
I've also noticed now that it's getting into the 90s regularly here that the A/C isn't particularly strong. I think I've seen this mentioned elsewhere as well, so my guess is the A/C and putting more water on the windshield are two things the Brits who designed it had heard about the need for but never had conditions to test those in themselves. 💂‍♂️😁

Update: used the window washers tonite. They pretty much just kinda weakly soak the bottom 3rd but the wipers get the fluid up over the whole window. Agreed, weak. But acceptable.

For A/C, my Emira pushes about the coldest air I've had in any of my recent vehicles, so I've been ++ impressed by it. I'm an "old dog" so fondly remember the days when A/C was Freon-based, and COLD, then around the 90's it changed to a more environmentally-friendly type. That resulted IMO in less effective or not as cold A/C. My Emira is colder than (for example) the 2 C8 Stingrays I owned (2020 and 2023; my last sport cars). I'm assuming there's less open cabin area in the Emira, making it easier for it to cool down the interior quicker, but even accounting for that, my Emira seems to blow colder air. Maybe I'm just lucky??
 
Washer jets on my I4 are aimed low, so make it appear to be a poor flow rate. I have just learnt to fire the water as the blade gets to the bottom of the sweep
Will get them adjusted when its next at the dealers
 
I also have that vibrating mirror issue, I also know that from my VX220. Thought it was quite usual. But it seems not all Emira owners facing this issue.

Washer jets need to be realigned, I just forgot it every time I went to the service…
