Lol one of the most over rated cars in the last 20 years. Horrible engine, gear box, fit and finish, poor handling due to weight and uncontrolled weight distribution. Just poor. Slower round a track than a base 2L Cayman (1:37.13 Vs 1:37.33 Lausitz). How can anyone fall for a fattened Emira with the drive train from the massively superseded Exige, assembled at Hethel owned by Geely. Are people really this stupid. Its not one of the most anticipated cars lol, its just heavily marketed in the US - checkout the second hand market in the UK and ask yourself some questions. Go and watch Jethro Bovingdons original review. Ask yourself some basic questions e.g. how a car with that weight, and distribution can be good through corners without active toe.

Its like my favorite uncle got the cool car I wanted him to have. And now he actually got it and we all get to share in the excitement. Congratulations Todd

These guys are so legit. I love the transparency of how they make this fit into their personal and business goals. I was always a huge fan and after having the opportunity to hang out with them a little bit and chat, I can confirm - what you see here is 100% the truth. Glad to support the channels and business in any way I can.

"Crazy KZreadr makes Crazy money, buys another crazy car!" Dude, literally no one here is going to fault you for getting your dream car. In fact, that's part of the reason why we watch Channels like this, to live vicariously through you. So anyway, congratulations! Enjoy your ride!

This video literally put a smile on my face. Congrats, Todd! You and Paul have worked so hard for so long and this is a well deserved reward.

I'm here grinning ear to ear for Todd. I'm so happy to see him getting a car he loves and enjoys so much. Good for you man :)

Been following this channel since the early days and have purchased several cars over the years that you’ve both owned largely based upon your reviews. I absolutely love the Emira and can’t wait to vicariously experience what ownership might be like through your content. This is a really good day. Congratulations!

We have 562 miles on our Emira! Can’t wait till 1000! Great video! Thank you for the great pics of this beautiful car!

I'm fan of your channel and genuine congrats to your new car. Hopefully you can get to keep it forever

So happy for you! C8 vs Emira road trip incoming

This was a great business move and an even better personal move! This was honestly the first full Everyday Driver KZread video that I've watched in years. I'm very excited!!

Congratulations from Australia!! Not only well deserved, but I feel like it's a good fit for your channel and a car we can all aspire to own with time. I'll enjoy watching the Emira content to come, can't wait for the miles and smiles.

I can't imagine you choosing the Cybertruck over the Emira. And, if you had, honestly, I would have unsubscribed. Enjoy it!

So happy for you Todd 🎉

I am so happy for you, Todd! I've been following the two of you for many years (podcast and KZread) and love that you've been able to get this. I look forward to seeing what you do with it and know that you'll drive it every day!

Awesome news; big congratulations to you, Todd! Know how much you love Lotus, and how much you were intrigued by the Emira from the very beginning, it's great to see you able to get one for yourself. Hopefully it sticks around for the long term, but even if its just for a short time at least you'll have the chance to experience it from an owner's perspective. And having just picked up a new fun car myself last Friday, I know the excitement and enjoyment you must be going through! Hoping for many enjoyable miles!

California needs to be ignored and let carmaker just build their cars.

Who saw this coming…🤣

Todd this is so fantastic. The car is beautiful and I'm so happy for you! It was awesome to see the moment and I'm looking forward to the content. You've made me think about Lotus and it is on my bucket list. PS the Cybertruck looks like an armadillo had a one nighter with a galvanized trashcan.

Congrats Todd!! Your passion and enthusiasm are contagious. Can’t wait to see more content on the Emira - your prior review was instrumental in me putting down a deposit with my local dealer.

So happy for you! This car is such a driver’s car and who better to get to showcase and enjoy it then you! Congrats, hope it brings many smiles to come!

Just speachless. Congrats my friend. You did good. You deserve it. Well done. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Literally my exact dream spec for this car. Red over red, black wheels, flawless. No notes. Congrats!

Glückwunsch, Todd, allzeit gute und knitterfreie Fahrt! Congrats from a German viewer of your channel since day one. Love your content, love everything you do with your cars. Have always a save drive, and enjoy every single mile with your Lotus. I drove one here in Munich, and i loved it right away. Owned a Elise, now i hope to own one of these amazing Emiras some day soon.. Greets from Munich!

Great video - thank you Todd! The Lotus chassis engineers are the best I have ever worked with and they have done a great job with our hardware from the Elise S2 onwards - and the Emira is a superb example of that engineering and tuning skill. Really very good-looking car too. Enjoy it!

I didn't think I'd watch much of this video but your enthusiasm and being real with how your channel and funds operate is refreshing. The nationwide track days sound awesome! Congratulations on your new Lotus! Looking to V6 swap my '91 MR2 next year in hopes that it will be anything near the experience of any V6 Lotus. I'm going to try a cammed N/A package on E85 and might make over 440whp thanks to Frankenstein Motorworks!

Congratulations Todd! This is one of our dream cars! Can't wait to see more content on your Emira!

Congrats and many fun/safe miles ahead! The Emira is currently next-in-queue for me, life allowing of course. Excited to see your coming adventures! I still remember the day I first drove my former 355 nearly ten years ago; it was the gearhead's version of being starstruck. One of those moments where the rest of the world just sort of falls to the side and it's just you in this very special moment. Maybe I shouldn't describe it this way to my wife...

Absolutely thrilled for you Todd! The look on your face says it all. Can't wait for the show's 1st roadtrip episode. I'm sure the A/C on this Lotus won't be an issue for you.

YES!!! I am so happy for you, Todd!

YES YES YES! I was thinking Evora, but this is even better! Top work, Mr. Deeken.
