Just had the first service carried out (4,000 miles, 18 months old) and all the updates failed to solve the problem :(
Will chat to the dealer but assume they are waiting for Lotus to provide an update/recall fix.
Mine still has the issue. Has its first service in a couple of weeks so it's down to be looked at again. The more annoying things is you are meant to be able to switch off hill assist in the options, which I have, but it still engages.....
From the Alpine forums - "Focal upgrade (no subwoofer): is good, but a long way off being as good as the Bose in our Boxster & Cayman."
Audio is highly subjective and personal. Just did a 100 mile blast in my Emira, audio on in the towns and no complaints from me on the quality, audio off on...
You have to remember that sounds need space, and this is a small 2dr sports car (not an RDX size)! I think the KEF system is on par with other 2dr sports car I have, and those were really expensive options from the manufactures (Ferrari JBL/McLaren BW etc.) so need to be both realistic and keep...
Moderator note: technically this is a customer car pickup rather than a test drive, but I thought people would appreciate including this feedback here
Picked up my Seneca/tan from the factory yesterday, followed by a 450 mile drive home to Scotland, in 0c but dry weather. Handover was great...
Picked up my Seneca/tan from the factory yesterday, followed by a 450 mile drive home to Scotland, in 0c but dry weather. Handover was great, factory looked really busy.
I have an Evora 410, so was of course interested to feel the difference. Overall the car is really good, I cannot imagine...
I completed checkout on 12th Sep, and finally get to pick up on the 7th from Hethel, so not the fastest but finally over the line. I was a pre-reveal deposit (April) btw, so the process did seem to acknowledge that (at least from a checkout perspective)
I don't think it means it's built. I completed my checkout process on 12th of September and still awaiting a delivery date, so although they probably hoped it was a 30 day process this obviously did not pan out for them. Still not even been asked for payment a month after check out, so I'm...
I'm not sure in this day and age what people want to accomplish with a test drive? A car such as this is going to be way more competent than 90% of drivers, not that you can really 'push' a car on a test drive anyway. Curious to know what would make someone walk away from a deposit after a...
I had to confirm any Protect & Enhance options, so that I could be given the final OTR price which I now have. Legally confirm the order, and choose my delivery location (I went for factory, but it showed all the dealerships as options).
I have no trade-in or finance but yes, those were all...
I just received my 'Checkout' email following the Enhance & Protect one a couple of weeks ago, so looks like another step closer. Completed this process so I guess the next step is payment and collection!
The email says these options will be part of the payment completion process so that must be imminent. I am a this month (factory collect) build. Links…

I don't think it's specific to the Emira, it's worded as a Lotus Cars extended warranty, but given it's their only car at present.....
Good point though as I'd probably want it for my FE Exige so I'll ask the question.....
Received the email outlining the enhance/protect options prior to delivery, disappointed there is no paint protection film so wondering about the the GardX CX2 ceramic coating Lotus are offering. Anyone any experience with this brand? Not sure who would be applying it either, not sure how good...
