Lotus Emira vs Porsche 718 GTS 4.0

Curious to get folks’ thoughts.

Test drove Emira V6 manual 1.5 years ago. Handled well and looked great. Went back recently and drove V6 auto. Still looks great and handles well, but interior leaves something to be desired. It’s modern and pretty good, but I felt that I was sitting too high even on the lowest seat setting. Didn’t find seats to be that great. The auto transmission was quite slow with shifts.

718: drove GTS 2.5L at PEC LA in 2019 and it was phenomenal. Test drove a colleague’s GTS 4.0 recently and it was great too. Heavily leaning towards this. Found a CPO 2023 with original sticker of $110K and dealer wouldn’t budge off the $103K asking. It’s a bit high as these should go in the 90s IMO.

Maintenance-wise both are mid engine so similar costs from what I understand. MSRP for both cars are similar too. Just wondering which you’d go with. Thanks!
