As much as a Plus 8 is something I'd love to own, I think one of the reasons I love my 4/4 so much is that its very predictable and can be slung around without too much of a worry that it'll bite. I drove both a while back and they are very different animals, personally I just like the lightness and simplicity of the smaller engine, perhaps is just a little closer to the classic motoring style of driving? Almost all of my driving is on little lanes and in no particular hurry.

Still a lovely car though..
