Replaced an older Lotus with this one. Big step up in steering feel; I'd like a little more trunk space.

2026 Lotus Emira review
Lotus Emira: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review
8.8/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Lotus Emira sits near the top of its class. Sharp steering and a willing chassis; driver-focused cabin layout. Tight rear seat or none at all and premium fuel recommended, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $100,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
The steering feel is the standout. My only gripe is the firm ride, which I knew going in.
