We hired a 4/4 for 3 days, tried a +4 and bought a 2009 3L Roadster.
Why?
Power, torqe and it makes us smile.
As a touring car the effortless ability is what makes it: last week driving round Jersey the car was mostly in 3rd, it will ease away from 10 mph and with a 40mph limit 3rd is all you need.
But on the run back in the UK from the ferry it is happy on the motorway at 80 in 5th.
Yes you can drive it like a holigan and wok the box, but there isn't any real need....
So, my take is if you want a sharp, revvy motor as a "sports" car go for the +4, but if you want a torque monster for touring then the 3.0L Roadster is the way forward.
