What things annoy you on Emira?

[SimonT]

Overall the Emira I just got has been excellent. Homelink worked better than my Porsche. Manual transmission shifts really well. Engine power is pretty good once off the mark. KEF was surprisingly good given all the comments about it. KEF is way better than my Mini Harmon Karden. Only issues I have had is some wind noise from the driver's side window. The trunk at times getting stuck (I just put pressure on it and use the unlock button and that works). And I noticed when it rains, and you open the trunk, most of the water lands on the super charger but some does dribble into the boot/storage.

The headrests are too large, and start to dig into my shoulder blades. Doing "breast reduction" on them in the spring to make it more comfortable. For now I just try to recline the seat in order to not feel the headrest.

But given this is a Lotus, really little to complain about. Car drives wonderfully. Gets lot of attention as it is just beautiful. And price was excellent given its competitors. Lotus got it right with the Emira.

Not the solution we should have to use, but I keep a large old towel in the boot for this. Open the boot about a foot, grab the towel and place it quickly over the top of the engine and open fully. It stops 90% of the water landing inside. The towel dries out quickly due to the heat in the boot.

Remember not to leave it on while driving of course. I did think about getting a Lotus towel off AliExpress for this.

I hate the recently detuned track mode but that’s a different thread.

You mean auto trans tuning?
