I know some of you fine folk are hardcore lotus owners.
Anyone own a Emira and care to share their views?
I do - have only done 500 miles so far… but its ace… see my other thread for more… and I do need to update it !
Found it!
I will update soon, but I am loving it so far - loads of character, brilliant B road car (not too wide - but it is wider than exile for sure !) - Are you tempted then ?
I’ll be honest no!
I noted a fair few people are super loyal to the brand so curious about how many went s2—>s3—>emira
In 2021, I had just got out of an Evora 400 and had a really really early deposit down with Silverstone on the Emira. Then I saw it in the showroom. Also saw the V6 exiges lined up outside. Decided that I didn’t want the Emira after all and I did want another Exige, so pulled the Emira deposit immediately!
Bought the cup 260 after not being able to get there on the man maths on a 410.
So I am keeping the s2…
I wanted something that did 90% of what the Exige does in a more useable format, if I do track days, it will be the Exige, but road trips - the Emira… I couldn’t get past the looks of the Evora. I did drive an Exige 410 and loved it… but it wasn’t different enough to the s2, I think I preferred the s2 looks and feel. Yes, the Emira is grown up, but its still a Lotus…

Got mine last week (1 day short of 26 months from deposit), but not done many miles yet, but all great so far.
