    Thanks and you came to the same conclusions I did. I live in China and strangely the i4 is more powerful than the V6 here. I ordered the i4 with the touring setup, Obsidian Silver with red seats. Thanks for the video!

    • @ThomasYap

      Yeah the i4 feels faster than the numbers suggest. But as Uncle YS described in the end of the video - when push come to shove, they are almost equally as quick. Nice color choice combo!

    Shadow Grey I4 on order. Love the red though. Wall of silence from Lotus Customer service - seems nobody in the UK has had one delivered. No explanations. Told mine is locked for production this month. Oh I wish I could believe it.

    나도 I4가 탑재된 투어링섀시를 선택할 거 같네요. I4가 좀 더 싸고 성능은 V6와 거의 같고 좀 더 좋은 연비에 적은 세금을 낼 것이기 때문입니다. 투어링섀시는 매일 매일 타고 다니는 데일리카로서도 장거리를 여행하기에도 훨씬 나을 것이기 때문이구요. I too think I would choose the Touring chassis with the I4. The I4 costs less, but has almost the same performance as the V6, gets better fuel economy, and pays less on taxes. The Touring chassis is an everyday car, much better for everyday driving and long road trips.

  • @_kevin723

    I4 sport suspension with Michelin cup2 tire is the best.

    • @ferdinandbardamu3945
      @ferdinandbardamu3945 Рік тому +1

      Cup2 is not a good road tire. Maybe the move is to get the sports chassis but replace the Cup2 with PS4S or PS5.

    so..thx for the feedback.. as u stated.. there's a problem with down shift... too slow.. not the first review seen with this issue.. but my question is.. do u experienced teh same problem in both cars? the V6 and the i4? both have the same slow pattern to reduce gars? thx

    • @ThomasYap
      @ThomasYap  3 місяці тому

      I have not experienced the V6 auto, only the manual. It downshifts better in track mode. I heard HQ is fixing this software issue. Cannot confirm if it's true.

    Did you feel the touring turned in fast and felt nimble? Was it floaty at all?

    • @ThomasYap
      @ThomasYap  Рік тому +1

      Front turn in is not as fast as Sport. It’s definitely more than fast enough for a sports cars setup. Never once I felt it was too slow.
      The best way to describe is the sports chassis felt urgent in its input. The touring is responsive but not urgent.

    • @rd5140
      @rd5140 Рік тому

      Im assuming that urgency is coming from cup2 and aggressive geo. Im guessing the best of both worlds would be touring with aggressive geo
