Just curious to see what everyone comes up with.

The worst thing for me is I cannot use my favorite joke at parties anymore!

Question: What’s the difference between a Lotus and a pile of dead hookers?
Answer: I don’t have a Lotus in my garage…(best said with the most creepy face and voice you have)

Spotty reliability and diminishing dealer network.

 

[LionZoo]

My top three:

1. Reliability
2. Parts availability for certain items
3. Attention from the public

 

[Almighty]

Not being able to drive it.

The energy it takes to feed the obsession. It is a few standard deviations from the norm. I have never owned a vehicle quite like it.

 

[good2go]

Not enough: time to drive and money to burn.

I care about it too much to daily drive it... that's a reflection of it's perceived fragility which is mainly born from the fiberglass body.

 

[Andy811]

I don't get flashed while driving it enough.

 

[addertooth]

Virtually all maintenance and repair work takes longer on the lotus, than it does my other cars.

 

[Sa_Exige]

The fact that I can't open up both clams as a standard feature

 

[ZeRoSL]

Negative attention and people getting the wrong idea and sizing you up

Slower in a straight line that I realized
(I didn't realize how fast other cheaper cars actually were)

Don't want to put too many miles on it/Can't(Won't) drive it in the winter

No dealers here. Getting stopped by the police every time i use the highway. So i detour everytime. Maybe this isn't a bad thing after all

People bitching about Lotus, especially people who claim to own them.

 

[Nxtwave]

Worst thing is I can't drive it during the winter living in the north east. Maybe lack of nearby dealerships too.

 

[Kamsden]

Driving on the freeway, people can't see you in their side mirrors. I never drive in someone's blind spot!

Hands down the attention, positive or negative.

The guilt of not washing it immediately when it gets dirty/after track.

 

[Allan Gibbs]

More stares than a 1940 inter-racial couple. rotfl

 

[mr.woolery]

Egress is difficult (still worth it)

 

[Old Fella]

In Australia the attention you get is all POSITIVE!!
But I don't like it's rattles and squeaks and its too small.
No one knows what Lotus stands for in Australia.
