03/23 V6 manuel 10,600 miles, lots of issues

The price you mention in the Philippines is correct, but it is for the i4 only. The V6 is 10.8 Mio, yes, around 180K USD. Two V6 can be still bought from the dealers stock. In total they sold already 20 Emiras. In Thailand the V6 is even 375,000 !!!!! USD, unsaleable. My Emira is neither in...

17.200 km since May 23 Lots of problems, aircon broken since 7 months, no fix in sight.

no speed limiter on the Emira

Do not give up, it is worth the pain!

Only when it works ! !!! Out of my 15,000 km it did NOT work for 8,000 km. Still not fixed.

Due to my frustration with the aircon saga, I did a test drive on a roadster (not mid engine), pricewise comparable to the Emira. Conclusion: Would never trade in the Emira for that, even with all the little problems she has.

My resistor was changed already. Problem remains. Today I got all available software updates, including the one for the HVAC resistor, problem remains. Now they want to replace the A/C ecu. Garage got the information from Lotus that it is a known problem for my VIN number, but they were not...

We had the exact same problem, actually the car is really not drivable but we had to do it. Happenend in Scotland on the way back to Munich. No dealer could help. "I can you book in in 4 weeks was the main answer." So we drove more than 2000 km in that condition. Open window, closed window...

Munich _Mallorca via Stelfio

Mine does it as well. Sometimes it starts immediately, sometimes I have all the time to buckle up. I experienced it after the update recall. It does not bother me as long as it is starting. Built Feb 2023, 14.000 km on the clock

I did 172 miles per hour or 277 km/hrs on the German Autobahn. I could have gone for top speed 180 m/hrs but my exit was there already and I had no time to go on. At 172 m the rpm is around 6300, still more to go. However that is just a glimpse as one really need to concentrate on the road. She...

Are all the Emiras starting now or why is there no complain anymore? :-)

This temporary fix is directly from the software developer of the Emira, directly from the factory in Hethel, which I visited. It is only for the intermidient starting failure in connection with the engine warning light. Not for any other issues like infotainment problems and so on. There is a...

If it does not start at the first try AND you get the engine warning light than do the following, which works for me. Put your steering wheel less much deep inside AND pull it up to a slightly higher position. Not very low and not deep forward. Find a position for the steering wheel in which...

it is getting warm, not hot. Much less hot than the trunk of the MX 5, which gets really hot from the exhaust pipe underneath.

I do not want to go the tough legal road yet for several reasons. First of all the car is in winter storage now, which gives Lotus another 8-10 weeks to sort it out with their new service center, which I called by the way. They now estimate to be ready in January. Before they told me October...

I am waiting for an appointment since August. No service center within almost 400 km near Munich, where they have their Flag Ship showroom !!!!

the 2ZR is the Toyota 4 cylindre. Hopefully, one day if there is a service center again and they finally do my re-call, they put on the right software update. I would not wonder if it will be wrong.

I logged on to the owners VIN portal of Lotus to see details about my car. When I key in my vin number the below information is displayed for my car: What I do not understand is the 182.7 kw for my V6 engine. That does not convert to 400 hp. Can some one enlighten me. Emira First Edition 2023...

1st Race P1 and P2 for Lotus. Short race due to an accident.

Live at 4:30 CET https://www.youtube.com/live/oGP4e3lY8Qk?si=pK2wzXLz0lR01WFO

Practice on Saturday was P1 (no.75) and P2 (no. 88)for the Emira GT4, a very good start. Let us see the performance in the race tomorrow

I finally contribute some of my pictures as well. Enjoy, and for those still waiting. Do not give up.

Thanks Schorsch Mirbach is great. My car is even in their storage service. They are the one Lotus canceled the Service Center contract after working for them for almost 50 years (former Autohaus Koenig). Now the car is stored for winter. I guess in spring the new dealer should be ready. Need to...

Looks like I am the only one having that problem. That explains why Lotus does not care at all. No other Emiras sold in that area?

Hi to all, but specially to Emira owners in Germany! First of all I am very happy with my Emira which I took over in April this year. However, although the car is running perfectly alright I got some saftey recalls (by registered letters) from Lotus in August this year. I contacted my Lotus...

You did not give points for the price. The Miata would get another 3 points. I also have a MX 5 Miata soft top. For my Emira I always use the term "this is my grown up, mature Miata." Both are super fun, but still different.

Sorry, no. Not patriotic reasons. The german reviewers come purely from the technical point of view. Four cylinder 2.0 Turbo with dct is a modern technique and engine producing immense hp and torque with little fuel consumption. They purely see the fine technique behind. It can be compared with...

I also have no slow response of the touch screen or info system

well, well, I read the German car magazines in german language as well and guess what version they mainly recommend...... the i4 AMG without talking down the V6 though. From my point of view only an own test drive can decide which one you like better.

The reverse camera only works when the info system is completely up and loaded. If you hopp in the car, start and reverse out, the camera can not keep up. Take your time before you reverse. That is my experience which I figured out immediately. Check it out and let us know your experience. Your...

@Tiger123 nice detailed report, keep it up (y) Amazingly we did almost the same route. From the "3 passes" we made a de-tour to Zermatt (Matterhorn) and than down to Lago Maggiore. We stayed in Hotel Bel Sit in Meina. Directly at the Lake perfect parking. From there we also just took the motor...

From the "3 passes" we made a de-tour to Zermatt (Matterhorn) and than down to Lago Maggiore. We stayed in Hotel Bel Sit in Meina. Directly at the Lake perfect parking. From there we also just took the motor way down to Monaco, Toulon and than Mallorca. On the motor way we filled up fuel. I...

I have Touring and I am very happy with it. Stiff enough but also still comfortable. I mainly drive normal mountain roads and the Touring gives you all cornering you need. In these kind of roads you will never ever go to the limit anyway as it is too narrow too much oncoming traffic and you do...
