    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    If I had a dealer very nearby I would probably have stayed. Mine is 2 hours away.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Bmw has been near the high end of reliability since in quality metrics. I’ve had excellent personal experience. The remarks from lotus owners have not been as positive. I understand that things have hopefully changed. But after all the hassle in trying to get parts I’ve come to realize that for...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    Ok, I’m back in the OUT camp, this time for good. I was originally out due to disappointment in performance after initial reviews came out. Then I was back in after a test drive as I really enjoyed driving the car. I’m out for the final time (just placed a deposit and order for a Z4 roadster)...

    Lets take some time to thank our production line workers at Lotus

    In today’s world where it seems 1/2 the people are working from home or doing computer crap that doesn’t really accomplish anything REAL (“META” anyone…), I greatly appreciate EVERYONE who actually turns a wrench, puts a weld down or does anything that actually creates a physical item of value...

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I posted “I’m out” because I figured there might be others who were on the fence and considering the same things I was and might find my thoughts interesting. Otherwise why are we all here? I left for months but after test drive (didn’t really need the deposit money back so kept it in just in...

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    Must be luck of the Irish. Just two days ago a truck decides to pass me before an on ramp and cuts right in front of me spraying rocks all over my hood and cracking my windshield. Absolutely zero chance I will not ppf

    More details for KEF Audio

    The first thing you do in audio is get your levels right. Setting up a sound board for a live event - that’s job 1. Nothing else will be right unless you get the dynamics right and input levels are the first step

    The great big "all the customer test drives" thread

    I may regret posting this but here it goes. Super long, but made from recycled electrons. tldr: my wife said “we’re buying this car, I’ve never seen you with such a smile on your face” I posted (I think) in the “I’m out” thread several months ago. I meant it. I was tired of the terrible...

    I test drove at Naples today. Saw the reservation sheet and there were multiple open spots. Fwiw.

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    I was a hater big time ago until I saw it in person. Hate the Normal 4 series but the M4 I’ve found a new appreciation for. Not sure but I would guess 6-12 months

    I'm out - the cancellations thread

    So I’m out too. Been on the fence for some time. Experience with dealer has been poor. Communication with lotus almost zero. Quality concerns and performance concerns for my use case have overwhelmed my initial infatuation with what is no doubt an absolutely beautiful car. If I could get one...

    Now they deprecate but don’t depreciate which I don’t appreciate but do anticipate
