Since the last update a few weeks ago I now get the sos warning on pretty much every start up, not had it once in 5mths before that, 🙄🤦🏻♂️
They also spotted the power steering leaking so it went back in (10th trip back) for that. The only thing they couldn't do was the wiper update as on back...
Here's a strange one, had an email from my dealer saying if my 5mth old 2k ml car has done more then 1k miles they strongly recommend an aftershaves service at £153, anyone else?
Are they still doing the spec framed pics on collection? Picked my car up 6th March, no picture ready but was assured I'd get it "soon"
Over 4mths later.....
So have Evo just washed there hands of the Emira based on that initial pre production drive OR are lotus just not releasing any cars for the press?
Group test this month, Alpine a110R, gt4, new m2 manual.. The gt4 is done, about to go out of production, pretty sure you can't order one. So...
Milltek valve controller is the best £250 you'll spend, start up theater and more low down rumble. All the noise without needing to be in track if its wet and you want stability on etc.
I've gotba few quick videos I'll upload but I'm off to Spain for a few days tomorrow so will try and get some...
Seems to be a huge amount of people on face book groups that have only recently put deposits down, some as recent as a few weeks ago, and are being asked to lock their spec in for build in the next few months. So there's no real waiting list for a v6 fe now it appears.
Any one had it? Not the Akerman effect from the tyres, this is an audible clunk slow maneuvering with full or near full lock on. You feel it through the wheel as well.
I think we kinda knew this but this doesn't bode well. That's at 400mls. The leather itself feels a nice quality so wonder if it's more an internal padding issue or the way it's put together
Factory collection today which was brilliant and I'd recommend.
So quick background I've just come out of a 981 gt4, last two cars before that were a Ferrari california and a 997 gts. Now, I've only done 130miles in the Emira but to be honest I'm struggling to fault it, all those things...
Picking my car up Monday morning from the factory, notice the info says ot one of 3 cars so will be a group collection, not that it particularly bothers me, may even be the reason I'm collecting 10 days after checking out but wondered if its a new thing?
Anyone on here Monday morning?
Got a lotus email this morning but not the one I'm waiting for!(checkout)
Looks around a £6k prices increase for the FE
Wondered why the price increase thread has just been closed following this news ?
Might be another reason the i4 is only quoted as 360bhp in the Emira If this a45s dyno run is anything to go by it makes little more than that in the front engined supposed 420bhp merc and torque is WAY down.
Might not be whupping those v6 boys just yet 😄
Using a Samsung S22, every time i try to reply to a comment it puts my reply in the box with the original post, its ok for a split second, the curser is in the right place then instantly jumps into the posters box and won't come out. Anyone else had this?
I read on Facebook that LCS had told a customer that the 6.9% pcp rate was under review. VAG are moving their rate to 10.7% so I expect at some point lotus will do the same. Depending on your deposit this could increase the monthly by a substantial amount. and could make it hard to justify for...
Whilst other than the obvious I think in general Emira reviews have been solid, but....
This month's evo has a review on the original Evora where it gives it 5 stars (Emira 4*) and reminds us it beat a gt3 to car of the year on launch.
I think this is the reception we expected for the emira...
Are we assuming these cars out and about now are now production ride height? It's not terrible but it's not great either... or am I just used to seeing blue show car and my GT4 ride height/stance?
