No, it really, really isn't.

look you don't even own one, prob never will again and so your view is quite pointless.

I on the other hand keep trying to get back into the brand but they keep moving the goalposts, You goto a dealers and most demos have issues waiting to be fixed, by the time they are fixed the demo is out of date and a new model is out.

If Lotus don't do something by the 2020 Elise release they will go under.

Because having a load of die hard skint S1 owners is not going to keep them alive.

Every manufacturer has buyers who have terrible experiences with them and/or their products.

The huge majority of people who buy new Lotus cars seem to be happy with both their purchases and the after-sales support they receive; Lotus have one of the better customer retention rates in the industry (albeit probably not as high as Porsche's).

Wow there's a sweeping statement stereo typing/mocking a brand. Can't say I came across that issue when I was out looking and test driving earlier this year. Was this one dealer in particular or did you actually visit several dealers most of which had issues ?

Some of the dealer demo cars are Lotus press/demo cars which have various parts changed throughout their early life and don't necessarily reflect the production versions the punters order.

Dare I ask what you're basing this on? This another example of you making a strange, baseless assumption based on nothing but your own imagination.

It's totally irrelevant to the point, regardless.

By this rational, so is yours.

So jog on.

Wow don't know why you respond to the Porsche guy, obviously looking for a argument and so rude and no idea on car ownership and what joy it can bring to people, no matter off brand or make, the guy is a joke.
