I thought the leather wheel I had in mine was really nice. I am not sure if you have a chance to see or try either but the leather wheel has a textured/dimpled finishing rather than just being smooth. This gives it a nice tactile feel and a sporty look in keeping with the ‘sporty but daily’...

I think it is exactly as you see it. I raised this issue with Lotus when I had mine. Like you say, it is only set back a few mm on the passenger side but this is enough to noticeably tilt away from the driver. I was loaned a demo for a week and the screen in it was much squarer on and made mine...

I also find the fixed 918s buckets really comfortable. I have spent 9+ hours in them on one occasion with no discomfort at all. They are not the easiest to get in and out of, but you soon find the knack. I appreciate everyone is different and seats can be a very personal choice, but I would...

It is shame to see the ownership experience is still letting things down to the extent people hand the keys back and walk away. Having been there myself I understand the happiness (relief?) felt when the Emira is finally taken back. When the car just represents stress and frustration instead of...

Having swapped my Emira for a (manual) GT4 I’d say the GT4 seems quicker everywhere. On paper the numbers suggest there shouldn’t be much in it but in reality I’d say it is fairly noticeable over the same roads in similar conditions. Not that this would be a primary differentiator between the...

I have received the same, although my Emira, which has already had 3 sets of belts due to this issue, is now long gone. All cars built 31/05/22 - 06/12/22 are recalled according to my letter This is the issue raised in early posts which has nothing to do with belts being twisted (or not)...

I think that’s Bingo

The nimbus Bristol car is touring. The Emira can clear fairly large speed bumps without an issue. The ones in the centre of the road you can just put your wheels either side of them and sail over the top. On slopes it can ground at the front though. I ended up in a narrow lane more suitable...

I found I had to stop, turn off AND open the door, then put the stalk into the required position before restarting to get it to reliably reset. While this means you shouldn't need to wait it is hardly more convenient as you still need to stop and you'll get wet while the door is open.

I tried sitting a magnetic wireless charger on the mat assuming the magnets would hold the phone. However, while the charger gripped the mat ok the phone slid off as soon as driving become even vaguely energetically. If I had kept the car I might have looked at options to replace the mat with a...

Did you read my posts in that thread which detail the problem and the ‘interim fix’ specified by Lotus? The assumptions made in the post you quote do not reflect my experiences over several hundred miles driving which i have shared in that thread. Put simply you definitely cannot control the...

You are mistaken. Check the relevant thread.

Actually buzzing is the wrong word for what I was getting. It sounds like some sort of resonate frequency issue.

I'd forgotten about the noise on when the fan is on 7. I have a recording of it somewhere, although it doesn't sound as loud compared to the road & wind noise as it did in reality. I don't remember having any issues with vent selection at the time, only that it seemed worse/more likely to occur...
