The only Lotus I've had a chance to drive was a brand new Lotus Evora. If anything, I thought the V6 was just as special as the handling of the car. People keep saying it's just a Toyota V6, but I was shocked at how LOUD the supercharger and exhaust was on a stock car. It was also fun to rev out, so I didn't feel like it was any less special than the engine from the 981 GT4 engine I drove.
Having said that, the rest of the car was kind of a let down considering its price. I keep hearing how great the shifting is on Lotus, but absolutely hated how that Evora felt (maybe it was defective). Both my friend and I kept going into the wrong gear. And the quality was suspicious at best.
Personally, I like a lot about the Emira, but there's too many questions about it before I'd be comfortable buying one. Porsche is a much safer choice in that regards.
