Put a set of work Vs kfs on the cube recently. Think we'll get some lowering springs for it soon to reduce the arch gap.

I think that looks fantastic as it is!

Haha indeed. I see a handful of EVs/ Tesla's here. Haven't seen a Taycan yet. It will eventually go EV but probably will be one of the last; I can't see ENOC and the other big petroleum players here being happy to turn off the pumps.Just in time for COP26 too

They're great!

I like it but she wants 30mm or so lower which I think will be fine! Ideally we'd find a set of coilovers but it's hard to get things like that in UK.
Depends how you approach it.. it's a cheap economy car but it's good fun to drive and has plenty of space and it's quirky all around.
This.

Is it though? What does a 55 plate Nissan Micra cost versus that?
Soldato
I mean when new, they were built for purpose, city/economy cars with decent space, similar segment to what a Micra would've been in UK so no high quality materials or leathers etc inside. Of course compared to a 55 plate Micra an imported Japan only car will cost more. We paid £3k for it. Mind you, my mate owned it before us and we got a decent deal.

From a quick google, 30mpg doesn't seem that economic, my 2.4i Accord can do that.

Does more than that, there's 2 different engines. This is a 1.5 CVT and my gf gets mid 35-38 most tanks. Not amazing compared to modern stuff but seems to be alright.

Went out for a drive as it was sunny today. Car seems to hold the road really well, even when it is bumpy it never feels like it is skipping over things.
Am loving the Exige, the Cups make things interesting in these cooler temperatures but with a little heat on a dry cool day they really have some impressive grip, cannot wait to feel how grippy they are on a Summer day.
Still I'd not want to try keeping up with the Yaris on a British B road, especially in these cooler conditions it really comes into its own.

Well Lotus came from Caterham so yes their cars are typically go karts and race cars, gives them unbeatable feel. The steering is epic but also bad on the Exige due to no power assist so it can be lively in your hands even going straight.
Evora is far more grown up and a better road car but far less urgent and the Emira is a step on from Evora, better looking, better interior and probably more capable too.
Are you predicting a "sensible" Caterham to compete with the Emira?
It isn't a wager I'd make but certainly an interesting pathway.Yeah Evora was a bit of a miss for me (and I guess a lot of Lotus bystanders). It did just look like a tidied up/less go-kart looking Exige/Elise. Emira looks like a baby supercar.
