Lotus Emira Appreciation Thread

[Blackthought_]

A lot of times we log onto car forums and complain and complain about the things that are going wrong with our Emiras. But what about the awesomeness that the Emira brings to your face when you drive it? Tell us about what makes it great! I’m closing in on 7k in a few months of ownership and still fun as hell!

Will have to let you know when it arrives - 797 days and counting...but I have a VIN number, so I guess thats something.

I appreciate the Joy of Missing Out whilst waiting for USA I4 delivery.

I have no paint bubbling, damp footwells, waterlogged doors, wind whistling through the window or buyers remorse to worry about

1400 miles and I have none of those either!

2,100 miles, no problems. Wonderful car to be in and drive.

I genuinely believe the Emira is one of this era's most beautiful cars.

I've had mine for almost 1.5 years and still look back every time I leave it in the garage or a car park. I often can't resist taking a photo too!

I’m loving mine! Sometimes I think it’s silly to spend what I did on a car. Then I drive my Emira, and any doubt disappears!

Haha that’s how I feel too. You’re like damn you made how much for a car? Then you drive it and are like “totally worth it” haha

The Emira is one of the greatest cars of all time.

The blend of styling, dynamics, engagement and comfort are world class…. Few cars in the history of the automobile have ever reached these heights.

3900 miles and nothing but smiles so far for me. Love rowing through the gears on a Sunday morning! Really enjoy the old school analog driving experience mixed with the beautiful modern design. Lots of kids seem to enjoy it too based off all the dropped jaws I see from the passenger seat of nearby SUV's in traffic ha.

Don't mind the sticker residue on my sun visors, replacements are on the way.

Driving engagement. Personal satisfaction. Also don't mind the attention the Emira gets from those 'in the know' as well as general public spotting me at coffee cafes. 1800 trouble-free miles of smiles.

Smiles during every drive, incredible car.
