I'm guessing they're just some kids on a sleepover watching Top Gear on YouTube.

Lotus. They're all James Bond wannabees, lol.

He drives a "Turbo Esprit S3." Yeah, okay.

The guy has no clue about all the different variants of Esprits (S2, S3, Guigiaro, Essex, Stevens, HCi, X180, etc., etc..) so he just says "Turbo S3."

It's an S3 with an after market turbo. Hence it's a Lotus Turbo Esprit S3.

Then it's an S3 with an aftermarket turbo. Not a Lotus Turbo Esprit S3. Which technically doesn't actually exist.

Post the year and chassis number. And some pics please.

Unless you like poorly engineered money pits, you need your head examined if you've bought a recent model 2000+ Mercedes Benz.
Read The Lemon-Aid guide to Cars by Phil Edmonston.

Mercedes = all marketing. Yeah they're fast, and they break fast too.
If I was into luxury brands, I'd go with Lexus. Hell even the latest Cadillac are more solidly built than a Benz.

mercedes the ultimate gangster car

Luckily, the Lotus marque doesn't attract that element.

PEACE OUT HOMIES

If you really owned an Esprit, you'd know better. Reliable, yeah right.

You obviously have never owned a Lotus in your life. As a former Elan owner (the Lotus-Ford twin cam era) I can tell you all you need to know about Lotus reliability. Elans, Elites, Esprits, Europas, 7s. But wait, you know that already because you own a 25 year-old car and with Lucas electrics!

Um, me thinks maybe the only Lotus Esprit S3 you own is the poster of one in your playroom.

I will say that the current Malaysian Proton Lotus is a little bit better in reliability. It ought to be since it's made with Asian parts. And after trying out the Rover K motor they realized hey, those little Toyota motors keep on running without even ever changing oil. Just clamp a super charger on them. But the rest of the assembly that comes out of the Hethel plant is no better built than a current UK Jag or Rover. Talk about lemons. And yum, a Lotus with a Toy motor. Just what I wanted.

btw, that gansta link you posted actually shows what people here think of that stereotype. Read the rest of that thread.
