I’d love to hand the keys back to Lotus and get back what I paid for but I took delivery back in April so I doubt UK consumer protection law would kick in. Plus, how do I even reject the car if LCS don’t even reply to emails?
Just an update: the dealer called me two weeks ago (a week after I dropped the Emira off to get fixed), and they said the car has to be effectively taken apart so that the ENTIRE loom can be refitted. They said it would be at least 3 weeks because the loom hasn’t been sent to them yet and it...
Enough is enough, I’m selling the car after just 2,500 miles. After being away on a trip I went for a drive last week and the aircon failed (again) but this time the fans didn’t even turn on.
I’ve dropped the car around to the dealer to fix it and on the way there was torrential rain so having...
Drove the car for the first time in two weeks following heavy rain, it was a warm sunny day.
Alas! The aircon and the fans refused to work. I mean, ZERO fans working no matter what setting, fan speed or if auto was selected. Restarted the car from cold and same thing happened.
So I suspect the...
Yes it’s shite, but I didn’t buy the car to listen to music. Wireless CarPlay connects 50% of the time. It’s Lotus, not Apple. Because it connects flawlessly on my Macan every single time.
No regrets here; I waited two years for the car and it truly feels special to drive and gets ridiculous amounts of attention both stationary and on the road.
I was driving with my grandson in track mode and making lots of noise, farts and pops - a guy in a convertible R8 pulled into the next...
Well after 1600 miles in the Emira I’m sadly disappointed in the seats. Coming from a 992 911 Carrera 4S with 18-way adjustable seats, the Emira seats pale in comparison and I generally feel I am sitting on them rather than in them. My 2007 LE Evora had superb Recaros and I never ever felt aware...
Ok overheating, aircon, ABS/ESC and tracker issues all resolved.
Aircon, ABS/ESC and overheating turned out to be a water corrosion in the wiring loom junction box u der the bonnet, I have a temp fix by the dealer and awaiting new parts from Lotus.
Scorpion tracker issue was resolved by...
My aircon and engine overheating failures are now resolved. It turned out to be water ingress corroding the wiring loom junction box at three terminals which controlled all the cooling aspects of the car including aircon. The dealer has Jerry-rigged a solution with paste and tape until Lotus HQ...
