Anyone got an Emira with zero issues?!

[Chobfreak]

I know it’s a little less Emira-related, but it shows that even gold-standard 911 GT3 can have serious mechanical issues. And I find it very good that Sam has published this video:

Was also thinking about posting this, generally speaking, all exotic sportscars are unreliable.

Ferraris tend to have horrible paint that can get blasted away by small gravel particles on track or pealed off with PPF. Porsches suffer from bore scoring and bad seals, McLarens have all sorts of problems from bubbling paint to bad electronics...

I'm fully expecting my Emira to have a lot of issues, that's the name of the game. It somehow seems a lot of people don't want to accept this to be the reality of exotic car ownership, but it is.

Having problems isn’t the problem. The problem is having them and not properly dealing with them while being completely silent about it

Apart from the recall-related issues my Emira has had zero issues - March 2023 build

I read about owners having quality issues with their Emira. Whats concerns me more is there seems to be NO word from owners saying that their experience is trouble free.

Have a read of the journal threads. Some with issues but plenty without.

I was at a Lotus owners meet two weeks ago. Three Emira owners attending and all said they’d had 1000s of trouble free miles. They are all members on here.

Had mine since May, apart from recall airbag tether and wiper motor, no issues whatsoever.

 

[EyeFour Eemeerah!]

Caveat emptor. Read the varied and voluminous records of members here. Not only a handful as some would have you believe.

 

[digilotus]

All good here. Loving it and no complaints!

Happy 8k km here mileage, any problem since March

 

[ChrisDan]

Same here

 

[freefall_junkie]

Yup, same here too. My one and only visit to the dealer since Feb was for the recall work and an early first service, both carried out with no hassle and a Mini courtesy car for the day.

Had mine for a few months. Done some long trips. No issues whatsoever (other than the usual minor quibbles with all modern cars like Apple Car Play not always connecting)

That’s because we live in the age of glorifying the victim. People get points for having a public whinge over minor inconveniences.

Meanwhile owners who have no issues (or who don’t carry on over nothing) are too busy enjoying their car to waste time complaining on the internet.

After spending the best part of 15 years on a Ferrari forum I can assure you that if I based my purchase and driving decisions on what a forum says I wouldn’t buy anything, ever.

And that would have been a big mistake.

Well said Steve!

Too funny!

Currently on a road trip. And 500 miles into it, with 1800 miles in total, my only problem is a sore face from grinning so much.
