So, I was watching Chris Harris having a go in the new Lotus Emira, and I must say, Lotus nailed the perfect sportscar emotion to a tee.
Lightweight, moderately powerful, manual transmission, mid-engined, handsome looks. It's just right. Feels like something you'd love to drive daily, unlike, say, a overpowered McLaren GT.

What I like about the car is that it doesn't look as overconfident or planted like a Porsche, yet it maintains character. Sure, Porsche is the better deal for the money, but the Emira does make many people rethink dream three-car garages
