West Country, West Midlands???? James should hand in his Passport... whilst Norfolk invokes brother on sister action and accent it is not in the West... James is too Gangsta

@@frederickvondinkerberg7721 He was just asking me to do a farmer accent. it wasn't related to Lotus HQ

@@jamesengelsman9369 I get that but farmer Norfolk (nar-fuk) and Farmer West country (farma-parma ewah iwher owher dip) are totally different... not that a Canadian would though notice eh, fore sure aboot sorree etc

Thing is, in normal mode the nannies are fully engaged (less in sport, even less in race and you can turn them off as well). So you really didn't get the complete meal, entirely missing dessert. The car is like a normally aspirated vehicle in that it continues to build power right up to redline, 7200 RPM in sport mode, never mind the 7K indicated redline. Also, that power is controlled by Lotus' brilliant traction management systems which in practice are transparent in normal operation, very difficult to feel even when engaged and intervening. So no dessert, and no soup for you either! Your tester had a lot more issues than most of us have experienced, especially notable since the hand brake is simply not a reported problem which suggests a lot of handbrake turns. The A/C works properly even in humid southern temps. I live in Tennessee and the car's AC is fine in the worst weather, and it gets nasty hot here. I think your tester must have been pretty tired or beat and in need of some love after a life of being abused by journos. These cars are very reliable, extremely tough where it counts although the handmade nature does tend to make each one unique and they can require some shaking out. That's much less true of 400s and GTs than it was previously as those benefit most from all the improvements over the years. If you prefer PS4S, you can swap into them after your Cup 2s burn through in 2000 miles. 400s come with them as standard. PS4S is a lot more practical for road users and the feel is still sublime with limits that are beyond sanity on public roads. No arguments about the dealer network. It's thin on the ground. It's much more akin to owning an exotic than a BMW or a Porsche is. That comes with baggage that doesn't always fit in the car. But as a true exotic to own, drive and enjoy, you'll struggle to do better for less.

@@frederickvondinkerberg7721 We're sorry.

I'm not sure why the immobilizer went off when they stalled. When I stall mine, I just hit engine start and it starts again

It's a press car. I'm sure it's been through hell and back again.

I was thinking the same. Immobiliser never kicks in that quickly!

That shit had me stressed out just sitting in my living room.

The 3 point turn had me coming immediately to the comments section, I wasn't disappointed, top comment 😁

Make feel!

"What's that smell? OH NO MY ELECTRICS"

Yes! Along with the "They made the air compressing lighter air conditioning weighter less"

Absolutely, my exact thoughts lol. I hope they make it

like drink box water bottles sort of things (Canadians will get it)

Sounds like a joe biden quote

Nice to know I’m not alone in verbal stumbling.

Thank god a motorcyclist wasn’t tearing down that road behind them!!

Love the car. Is it expensive to maintain? Anything you do yourself? Difficult to find a good mechanic?

@@dubiousmike I've done just shy of half the miles he has in a year and so far after a few track days, the oil change every 10k is easy to DIY, the brake/clutch fluid bleed is wasn't to bad to DIY as well and I need new Cup2's after a few track days. PS4S's have held up much better while sacrificing only a little dry grip and gaining grip in the wet

@@bboixtc any tips on picking up a used one?

@@dubiousmike Evoras in general haven't really been affected by the current market. If you're looking at older Evoras there are lots of little things to look out for. 2017-2018 Evora 400's have a few differences between the 20-21 GTs. I'd recommend a 400 or GT depending on budget, but my advice is to just get whatever you can. Evoras are the last hand built Lotus.

@@bboixtc The Evora GT has been weighing very heavily in my mind, but the new Emira is a good step forward for the Evora chassis and Lotus as a brand. Have you considered trading in your GT for an Emira? Also, not sure if you've seen the Emira in person, b/c I was wondering how it looks compared to the GT.

I agree. Had a simplistic SmokingTire feel- which let them and their commentary shine. The night a c video had me cracking up.

But also, you need both. You need the main channel to be the way it is, so that these have meaning. If we didn't have that this would just feel like every other low rent car chat channel on yt.

Their last video on this channel was like 45 minutes lol

Idk why they would wanna have a second channel to make these videos shorter.....pple are dying to have the videos be longer already. If anything (if they don't have enough time to feature all the vehiclesthey want to on their main channel.) they should make the reviews exactly the same as they do on their main but just maybe have it feature only trucks maybe, or only cars that are $100k+ or maybe cars that are less than $50k. Making a second channel with lower production cost, less driving and overall less opinion and information on the car isn't the way to go I think....

@@chelseapeters7187 if you don’t like it, don’t watch their second channel. I think it’s great. Clearly other people love it too. It lets them produce more content and get more views without spending a bunch more money. It also let’s them film in a more informal/less scripted format and try new stuff that they can incorporate into their main channel if people respond well to it. It makes perfect sense.

@@CrazyDavy22 where in my complaint did I say I didn't like the videos, especially if one of my complaints was not making some of the videos long enough

@@chelseapeters7187 the last paragraph/sentence: “Making a second channel with lower production cost, less driving and overall less opinion and information on the car isn’t the way to go…” -Chelsea Peters

He stalled in the worst location lol

Remind's me of Woody when humans are around!

It didn't break down; they had it on recirculate.

Evora owners say the seats are useful for young kids, much like a 911. It also makes for a great storage area.

that would be the Elise. Plus the miata is very reliable what you mean 🤔

@@papa_pt so is an evora. It's a toyota powertrain

Well that’s well informed..what a valuable considered contribution

@@TheHesK9 engine is reliable yes, electronics and auxiliaries no as displayed in the video

@@papa_pt Yes but that's where the British part comes in to switch it up

Maybe the price difference between the 570S and evora GT is something to look at.

I think that's the problem here. They haven't learned how it works. I agree, a normal car you wouldn't have to learn how everything works but that's part of the Lotus charm. Fun video but they need to give it another crack!

What made you sell it?

Tell your father to enjoy driving around showing off his support for the CCP and it's GENOCIDE. Would your father buy a new liver or other organ from China that has been forcibly harvested?

@@sauljay1982 So nothing you buy comes from China?

damn how rich is ur dad

@@airuzair2424 if he is of retirement age and makes over 150k a year that is a fairly achievable vehicle if you live fairly frugally otherwise.

if you couldn't fit in a 718 then how the heck did you fit in a lotus???

Wow that's actually a wicked perspective. From the proclaimed GOAT of GT3 RS's to the Evora. It must be a nice change

I'm curious, how hard are auto evora's to find?

Jeremy described it like this in that Top Gear special episode. Although the Esprit was actually the one that almost lasted the entire journey!

@@chettest2447 agreed. I owned mine for over 5 years and it never failed to get me where I wanted to go. However, funny thing a year into ownership my fan speed module went kaput. (No air conditioner, or heat) I looked into having it fixed. But required disassembling the entire front end to reach the fan speed control module. And also as Jeremy said “the air conditioning is like having an asthmatic blowing through a straw.” I never had enough motivation to have it fixed.

Nowadays it's: Lots of Trouble Usually STUPID. Nothing serious ever really goes wrong on them, but plenty of stupid stuff goes wrong that is more of an annoyance than anything.

@@jaystepp150 The fan resistor pack went out in my Exige about a decade ago. Have never bothered to fix it, despite having had the front clam off three different times. Maybe next time.

At least in America the C8 will be easier to keep on the road. Because Chevy builds 100 times as many Corvettes for the American Market as Lotus Evoras for the American Market.

@@bolt5564 too much electronics the Lotus is much simpler. The c8 is a Chevy but It’s not like a gmt 800 where everything in the dash is modular and easy to replace. The high tech interior of a c8 won’t be working in 20 years. These Camry engines are just as reliable as non AFM LS engines.

Definitely the highlight lololol

I certainly hope you are wrong. I personally love that they are independent and free to do as they choose. There is no commercialized feeling, just pure car love.
