    Since you asked for comments from owners, here you go. Purchased for $206,000 V6 First Edition Manual 2023 with every option. Run in as per Lotus advice, took it to the track, it broke down in the pitlane before the first lap. Brought it home, next week the alarm activates and can't turn off without disconnecting the battery. Back to Lotus where they can't replicate the problem. Take it to the track again and performs ok until fuel fillup at the end of the day and won't start. Disconnect the battery again and starts but don't dare to stop all the way home (90 minutes). In total it broke down four times in the first four months. Numerous bubbles appeared in passenger door paintwork, back to Lotus, needs a new door, on back order no idea when it's coming. Water leaking in the footwell, Back to Lotus, a firewall plug failed, carpet soaked and completely removed to dry. As a side note I also have a 2015 Porsche Cayman GT4 (yes a 9 year old car) which is more fun on track and on road, more comfortable and after 6 track days 10 times more reliable. Admittedly I did drive the Emira from the Gold Coast to Bathurst and back with some fun roads on the way and it didn't miss a beat on that trip. After 12 months ownership I traded my Emira with 5,000 km's for a net loss of over $100,000.

    I know the comments section is usually the complaints department but I have one of the very first Australian delivered V6 cars in manual. Over a couple of years with a ton of road miles, track days and closed-road events it hasn't missed a beat. The only downside has been that I rarely get to fill it up without having a conversation with another Lotus fan. I think the AMG powered cars will be phenomenal when they get around to really seeing what the engine can do but for me the manual gearbox is the killer feature. I'm looking forward to Lotus developing the Emira even further.

    I am Australian who lives in China and owns a Lotus Emira i4 Touring spec (not the V6). The Chinese version is more powerful with 400hp and lots of torque. So with eight gears, being lighter with more power the outcome is as expected - 3.7 seconds to 100 kph. The other thing to note is that rear suspension on the AMG version is better and lighter plus the motor is lower and lighter so it handles better. I have driven this car as a daily driver and driven is all over China. It has exceeded my expectations and it has been 100% reliable. I hope you guys get the more powerful AMG motor shortly. It is comfortable but it handles and goes. Because it has 8 gears and a turbo motor on the freeway it has fantastic fuel consumption. By the way it looks absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.

    I’ve had 2 S3 Elise’s and currently have a 410 Exige. All from new and can say they have been the most reliable cars I’ve owned. Routinely thrashed on track days and nights! Excellent support for services from SSC Lotus. Would I trade my Exige for an Emira? Never! But I would consider a final edition along side my Exige. I will be keeping an eye on how they develop and hope they don’t go fully electric after this model.

    Comment from a Lotus owner. I have an Elise Final Edition and have been lucky enough to drive a V6 manual Emira a few times now. And I think it's awesome. It sounds like a lot of money, but they were asking close to that for the final edition Exiges, and this is so superior. Would I buy one? Hmmm. Driving it with a Lotus owner's perspective - I can see that a lot of the stuff that goes wrong in the Elise/Exige would still go wrong in this.... electronics sensors and control units, random Check Engine Lights - that sort of stuff. The core is still the same. But the Emira is such a fantastic car - Every drive in it is an event. I reckon it's the most interesting car by far on the market at the moment. Not sick of the Elise yet - but will definitely consider this when that time comes.

    I have a Lotus Elise 2014 that I have thrashed at the track for years and on the road put on 40,000 kms with no issues. I am also the proud owner of a manual v6 emira verdant green tan interior tour with 3,000km owned for 12 months with no issues. Love them both. I know a number of Lotus drivers that have moved from Porsche and BMW to Lotus and have found them more reliable. I think the Lots of trouble usually serious might be the case with the older cars pre 2010’s before link with Toyota.

    I bought an Exige 410 from Lotus Cars Queensland less than two months ago. My car has the same transmission as the one in this video. Within 24 hours, I noticed a crunching sound when shifting into 5th gear at mid to high rpm. I immediately reported it to Lotus Cars Queensland, but the salesperson and aftersales manager kept delaying and avoiding the issue. Ultimately, they refused to warranty the car, citing "We find your credibility to be questionable" as the reason for the warranty claim refusal. This obviously violates my consumer rights. Since posting about this in a Lotus group, several others have contacted me with similar experiences; some are even taking legal action against Lotus (or about to!). I love my Lotus, but my experience with LCQ's service has been terrible. I'm about to spend $7,000 on repairs while they dodge my lawyer and the Department of Fair Trading who are trying to get in touch. This will be messy.

    Absolutely love the look of this car and in love with the Lotus. But after thinking about the price and reliability despite collaborations with Mercedes and Toyota, I will think twice. I hope I don’t end up buying a Porsche but instead by the Emira. For many people this is a dream car, but Lotus needs to break out of the notorious reputation it has for car issues. I think Lotus has so much capability as a global brand. But after reading these comments, I’m becoming more and more critical rather than just my pure love for this car, the brand history and everything about “adding lightness”

    1 Minute in. "So".. Car experts' favourite "conjunction"
    1:07 - "So"
    1:55 - "So"
    2:12 - "So"
    2:52 - "So"
    2:29 - "So"
    3:12 - "S O"
    3:20 - " S O "
    SO, that is 7 unnecessary "sentence starters" within 3:30. I can not be bothered to irritate my ears through the whole video. SO let us do some maths.
    So that means (ag sorry man let me try to be better)
    Once the maths has been done, the predicted amount off times that Paul will use So is 44 times.
    Just script better. I will put money on the bet that there is no scripting ahead of a shoot. Maybe a broad discussion of what can be discussed, but no script.
    Do yourself a favour and watch Throttle house. Their presentation is far more interesting and professional than what CarExpert's is shaping up to be, and I truly think it has to do with better scripting.
    SO, please take care.

    Very nice design but quite disappointing in real life, the car is as high as an Evora but losing the 2+2
    Nice design but spoiled by its proportions and this ridiculously high cabin.
    Not racy enough for a Lotus in my opinion...heavy...As expensive as if it had been the replacement for an Esprit, but its size is not as iconic... In short, we are waiting to see Lotus again on a new generation Elise proposal...

    Three three Australian taxes make Australia the most expensive place in the world to buy cars next to Singapores crazy car taxes. Popular Cars like Porsches Range rovers RR sport models ect that most working class people can afford to buy in places like UK Europe and USA are out of reach in Australia . We are now seeing a flood of Chinese and Korean are mostly underpowered with bad handling, rubbish, undercut disrupt the Australian car markets because they have cheap labor work forces cheap undercutting LCT threshhold.

    With this ridiculous pricing,at this rate I’ll give up on buying this car till I’m like 60 or until the stock market booms exponentially and stick to my cheaper JDMs or even cheaper I’ll just buy a Xiaomi Su7 and beat this car in the drag race 😂😮 hydraulic steering for an extra 150k? Nah😂 what is the depreciation value on this car? I hope I am not shocked and it can hold value
