    Paint issues? Does Your Car Live in a Garage or Outside?

    Perhaps but the only Emira I have seen in person with the issue had blisters all over the doors not just around a "metal strip/channel" and also along both sides of the rear pillars along and below the First Edition badge, not somewhere you would expect water ingress or any water to persist...

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    I drove an V6 and i4 back-to-back when doing my test drive. In the i4 doing some "spirited-driving" the auto kept the revs in the power band for the turbo - 4.5-7K - most of the time. If you are still running in and keeping below 4K then hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised when you can...

    Non start and engine light

    Just had this happen to me - happened twice now. Once after parking up for a hour or so, second time when starting a drive the next day. I can hear the fuel pump starting but the engine does not turn over when pressing the button. Waiting 27 seconds or any longer did not fix the issue...

    2nd Year Service and ownership update video.

    You had to pay for software updates? Surely that is a warranty issue?

    Carplay volume glitches with driving directions

    Just for your reference, not saying you should change phones - the same does not happen with Android Auto. The music volume is reduced during the "alert" but goes back to the same volume afterwards. So likely a Car Play thing not anything to do with the Emira software.

    Android Auto interruptions with 2024 Emira

    I've not had any issues with Android Auto and interruptions playing music. I've had a few odd bluetooth disconnections but if connected the music keeps playing. This is on a Pixel 7, using Symponium as the player.

    A polished knob

    You body your choice of course. But if that is the route you take, I've heard although manual transition is often preferred, 8-speed dual-crutch transition often feels faster...

    US I4 (400hp) has fake engine noise pumped through speakers

    I suppose if it makes Motley Crue sound like Dr Dre ... at least there is a silver lining to this issue... :p

    “Lotus’s traditional V6 sports car finally meets the Autocar (UK) timing gear”

    A 4 year-old Evora costs £60,000+ in the UK at the moment. You have to go back to 2013 or earlier to pick up an Evora for £37K.

    A polished knob

    I did mine like this a week ago. I have the nail polish and remover left over - 99% left. If anyone wants to do the same I can send these on - just drop me an PM.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Obviously AI generated - there's no blisters on the top of the doors....

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    The knob was left in in place. It only took 5 minutes. I used a thin brush to paint in the indented decals, the nail varnish flows in well by capillary action it almost paints itself. Then with a bit of kitchen roll and nail polish remover removed any excess nail polish from outside the indented...

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Coloured in the shift pattern on my gear stick as several others have done here. I "watered" down the nail varnish a bit to make it like a "wash" to allow the aluminium to show through the colour a bit. I now have black, red, yellow nail polish along with some (non-acetone) polish remover if...
