Anyone thinking twice about buying Emira?

Sounds like you need a mighty Yaris

You know what Leonard I’m actually going to sort a test ride out feel like this car would maybe suit my daughter - is there not an age limit cos I think I may not be in that catchment area hehehe so do you think I will like the little ugly buggly - although I’ll reserve my judgment till I see one in the flesh though - like I say sometimes ugly is good- would that be so funny from Audi R8 to Toyota Yaris - but like I say just want a FuN small car for w/e that is my criteria and something not arm n

I've seen a few of these around and about in the North East and they look better in the flesh (not that I don't like them in pictures) and the owners always seem to be buzzing around. I've also seen a few out in the Yorkshire Dales and they look perfect out on those B roads. I've always fancied one for that reason.

Porsche called today. We can build your 718 GTS in Jan but your Bose option will be deleted as we can't get volume supplies of amps ( it will be in other models with it as standard spec). Can you retrofit it? No. What percentage of 718 HAVE Bose.......usually about 90%. All sounds familiar! Pun not intended

I have a new Macan S on stop at the dealer waiting for a Bose amp , three weeks now and no update

This car is all about fun. I think you may like it. Depends what you are expecting though. It would be perfect car for your daughter. Same reason I got it for my other half. If you drive it off boost its just a very safe and secure Yaris with enough toys to make it a good daily and with a surprising amount of space if you put the rear seats down.
Open it up though and start pushing it on any road in any condition and there is nothing faster. Its also engaging as well, but not in a "I'm going to kill you type way"
Give it a go. Looks classy in black, sporty in red. I had to get white as its rally car! Oh and the missus only has white cars....

You could honestly run one for half the price of an RS3 and not feel short changed bar not having Audi interior

My Mom taught me not to say mean things about ugly people. I wonder if that applies to cars? I've heard it's a great little bug (oh sorry, car) but I'm afraid I'm a bit too shallow to be seen in that...

just told Hubby guess what I’m going to test drive now …….. he just laughed and said I’ve lost the plot as there’s no way I’m going to driving a Yaris but he did tell me to kick the Emira into touch lol Bought a white BMW 3 series with red leather seats I kept it about 8 weeks hated all the ickle black tar specs kept coming back each week. sold it and got a silver A5 Sportback - nice car. Black cars look good for only 10 mins after wash n wax, the red looks a nice colour

Enjoy! Good to try different cars at least! And you have plenty of time to try a few more

Leonard the RS3 interior is totally bland and just looks like A3 certainly not worthy of a £50k car - even looks plastic very poor, dull n boring

What about a Hyundai Veloster N?

I love my Yaris, easily the fastest car on a B road I've ever been in. Drove it on a nearly 3h drive (according to Google Maps) home from Fort William on hilly highland roads, did it in 2h 18 on a clear run on a dry day, one of the best drives of my life! And it makes a satisfying "psshh" when you let off the throttle. Well worth a test drive!

Fabulous. A friend had both the early 8v then a 16v. Definitely an event every time I got to drive them. I believe that the final edition was the best.

Well Mr Joe Achilles certainly loves it - think he’s a great car reviewer- you totally get to know what a car will be like just watching his reviews - I’d love for him to get a ride in the Emira and see what he’s feedback would be ….
