    A few things that stood out to me: the quality of the lighting that the headlights provide. That has to be the clearest and most even light pattern I think I've ever seen. The sight line view to the side: the sideview mirrors look almost like they're floating in the air off the side of the A pillar. While being one of the nicest looking sideview mirrors I've seen, the way the mounting is designed allows for great sight line views downward to the forward 3/4 of the car. It looks like a supercar, but is actually just an all around great sports car. Nothing insane. Great review!

    In a world where Porsche and Vettes are a dime a dozen. Simple answer is, As long as it's not your only car. Get one now on lease and then turn it in for a final production run V6 or AMG I4 in 3 years like I'm doing. Just signed the paperwork on mine today and will pick it up in two days.

      ​@@fzr1000981 Hydraulic steering, 4 wheels double wishbone suspension alone is more than worth the cost. btw. It's an Aisin AI manual transmission, it might be in a Toyota casing but the gear ratio and all that has changed

    So I test drove the Emira and the CT4-V Blackwing. The Blackwing has more power, more cargo space, can carry more passengers and costs less. The Emira looks better and maybe handles a little better. I will say I do like that the Emira doesn't try to do too much in the way of car settings. I don't need everything under the sun, but adjustable dampers would be nice.

    24.7mpg is great for this car -- EPA highway is 24, so while I agree I wish it got 30mpg I don't mind. I'm averaging around 16-17mpg driving it how I want to

    Some people purchase sports cars to say, “ look at me “ and some buy sports cars to say , “ I enjoy the car “. This car is for the second group. It won’t win any drag races, but put it in its element, which are the hills and twisties, and it shines. It’s a McClaren for the everyday person.

    91 is the highest octane in California for all gas companies?
    Here in BC, shell has their 93 octane, and Chevron has 94 octane.
    Esso(Exxon) top grade is 91, along with Petro-Canada. Petro-Canada has the best refineries, to remove the highest percentage of impurities from crude oil.

    Fuel consumption couldn’t be further from my mind when I consider a fun car like this. When you consider how few miles most of these will get driven per year, it’s really not a major concern for most buyers. If my Elise got half the fuel economy it does now, I would still drive it the same amount.
