Will have to drive the Emira once demos are available at dealerships and make final decision (also waiting for Chris Harris's take on it). To be honest, most of these reviews have just been first drives and not really reviews. It's not where it's been driven on a track hard and then cruise around town. Will have to wait a bit longer for additional data points.
Watch Harry Metcalfe's review, he had both Sport and Tour versions for 5 days. Got to actually live with the cars and really feel them out.
His review and AutoTrader's (Rorie) were pretty positive. The others were negative or lukewarm. I'll need to drive it to make final judgment though. Been waiting on this car for a while so need to test drive it for sure.
