    Emira Criticisms vs. My Experience

    Have had 3 Porsches all had some issues, but loved the dam things. I have had my lotus since march +5,000 miles. One issue and it was fixed in a reasonable amount of time. Three things 1. Looks amazing no Porsche compares. Below 1/2 million. Only McLaren & Ferraris . Had it parked next to a...

    Doesnt always start first go.

    My car has only not started twice in 5000miles. Turn the car completely off lock the doors and wait 30sec. Starts normal 😊 I panicked the first time, and the second time was on a trip with my wife. Don’t freak out. It makes things worse… Something’s in this car can’t be rushed. It is one...

    How do you check the radiator fluid level ?

    There are 2 coolant reservoirs. Both are under the engine cover. You can see the levels in both without removing the engine cover. However it is easier if you remove the cover.

    Two bad things

    Use the car more often, this happens to my Porsche after a wash it and let it sit. The higher the humidity in the ambient environment the great the chance the parking brake sticks. Time & Humidity are only things I have fount to cause brakes locking.

    The 1st Edition isn't exclusive

    I got the lower price too… beautiful car! It’s hard to comprehend how beautiful it is. Porsche owners are always gawking, staring, admiring my Emira.. FE does seem like a con job, but the Beauty is real and so is the fun… Have only see 2 in the wild 1 Salsalito, California 2 McAllen Texas...

    Throttle House Cancel Their Emira....

    I considered the Z06 2 years ago and talked to a few dealerships. One wants $195,000 and the other $200,000 something like a 50-60k market adjustment. At that point I would be looking at something way more special. MSRP was the when the car looked attractive… I will say I get a lot of...

    Porsche ends combustion engine in 718 Cayman/Boxster in 2025.

    Why are so many Emiras being resold in the USA?

    I understand your frustration, but lotus has always been a small business with big dreams. I understood from the start it was going to take time. Not 3 years! However I have had zero problems and my dealership ( Houston ) was kind and supportive throughout the process… I don’t want a McLaren...
