update in readers cars
Discussion
8 months and 3000 miles here. The car is as stunning as it was when I bought it and gets many, many comments and admiring glances. It is a brilliant car to drive but it hasn't been without faults, sadly.
Issues so far:-
Lots of paintwork blemishes on collection (caused by bird s**t and the dealer's poor attempts at correcting them), sorted by a very good detailer who also ceramic coated it.
Washer hose wasn't connected from the start, visit back to the dealer to get it sorted.
One instance of the handbrake sticking on (resolved by turning off and on again)
One instance of non starting (only two days ago at a petrol station, resolved by locking and waiting 5 minutes)
Cabin rattles, one that seems to have gone away and another from the dash surround that only appears after a good drive.
Oh and aircon that has stopped working again and is awaiting a fix.
Quite a long list when you consider I also have a 7 year old GT86 that I've had from 3 months old that has been virtually faultless for 7 years. (The only fault in 7 years being an engine warning light caused by low battery after leaving it undriven for 3 weeks after getting the Emira, I think it was just upset as it thought it was being replaced, I've kept it now and it's much happier!)
Oh and pet hate (not fault related), why oh why have they located the electronic handbrake low down on the right hand side, surely you put it somewhere near the gear stick, so you can just put the car into neutral and apply the handbrake? Nope make it that you have to put it in neautral then change hands and lean forward to apply the handbrake, madness!
