The “only say nice things” thread

[Justin]

You’re all welcome of course to say whatever you like but I thought I’d start a thread where negative comments are banned

I wanted to give a shout out to the Lotus staff. I’ve had the pleasure to talk to several now both in person and on the phone and everyone has been friendly, helpful and passionate. Had the good fortune to speak to Gavin recently and he was an amazing ambassador for the brand. I didn’t have a detailed conversation with him because he’d easily confuse me but he’s clearly very knowledgeable and capable. Super friendly chap as well. Sorry I can’t remember the names of everyone else I’ve spoken to

The car looks stunning. It stands it’s own against cars 2-3 times it’s price. Nothing in the world is perfect but the Emira is an amazing package for the money.

I think the car is a perfect size. Big enough to be comfortable but small enough to feel confident driving on British roads. From the little I’ve heard it sounds great as well and for me it’s a nice blend of sports car with everyday usability.

Being in a position to own a car this special is a privilege and I’ll happily wait. Whether it’s a Christmas, Easter or Halloween present I don’t care. Maybe it’s because I’ve been unwell for a while but seriously none of the small stuff matters. If you have your health AND you’re getting an Emira you’re doing well in life

Thank you all for the constant entertainment and information on this forum. Hopefully I’ve fulfilled my mission of not imparting much useful information- I’ll leave that in the capable hands of Tom

Wishing you all a lovely day. Let’s bring on the positivity

Do you work at Hethel?

The only mid-engine manual with supercar looks currently in production. And not far off in performance from supercars when they all had manual offerings, pre-DCT era.

The car is amazing! I’m a converted fanboy on steroids!!

You can get into the car. You can get out of the car. It’s nice inside!

Also, I am truly grateful for the surfeit of DV photos.

It has reaffirmed my colour choice many times over.

When I explained the potential ordering delays to my wife recently (I'm one of those who ordered very late), she asked me "what if you just doubled your Emira budget and looked at a more expensive sports car that you can purchase sooner, what would you buy then?". I didn't have an answer. The truth is even at a much higher price, I can't think of a single car that makes me as excited as the Emira. I can't wait... But I'll wait and it will 100% be worth it.

And on the topic of positivity, thanks to all of the users who invest the time to post valuable information that's difficult to find elsewhere. Particularly Tom_E! I read through all of his detailed explanations over the last few weeks to get a much better grasp of the car's systems and components.

Let me know if you ever get divorced... I'll DM you my number to give to your wife!
Although she might not be as keen... there's no doubling the emira budget in my household
