What things annoy you on Emira?

Auto hold for v6 manual on tour mode
360 camera system
Auto blip (1 less thing to worry about on track) - can be added aftermarket now
touch sensitive steering wheel buttons and round wheel - aftermarket fix available
Oil temp and pressure gauges
Baffled oil pan - aftermarket available
Bit more spacing between clutch and brake pedals
 
The center console electronics are slow to respond. You have to wait for it to change drive modes. Wait for it to switch back to CarPlay.

Also the emira doesn’t like variation. It likes to be unlocked started, stoped and then locked. Whenever I do something like leave it unlocked for awhile, things just don’t behave properly.

But like a supermodel you deal with it and enjoy the ride.
 
The original OP video mentions only 2 speakers in the car (one each door). Another poster on this thread said there are 2 in the back. There are actually 3 in the back. See photos: in N. American vehicles (left hand drive) there are 2 on the rear passenger side and one on the rear driver side.

When it comes to the Emira not having options other new cars do, Lotus departed from its usual spartan design to add the ones it has, sacrificing weight in the process which ++ irked some of the die-hard Lotus crowd. I enjoy the options it has, which IMO helps achieve their goal of a daily driver/track combo vehicle, while still maintaining much of the Lotus “driver feel”. Sure I miss a few, but being more of a “glass-half-full” kind of person, I’ll continue to love my daily driver experience.
