I have only had my M3W some 2 months, I am experiencing a few problems and have mentioned them in 2 other posts, I have it booked in for first service and warranty items in a couple of weeks time. I am a little concerned when I look at the feedback on the forum, reading many of the comments its sounds as though only skilled mechanics or others with an engineering background should consider buying one. I bought mine to drive and have fun in it, I have no mechanical background very little practical experience. It seems odd that after spending £30k plus, owners should have to start modifying the cars to bring them up to a merchantable quality, surely MMC should be authorising their dealers to do all upgrades without charge or are they exempt from all obligations covered under the sale of goods act which applies to all motor manufacturers and their dealers? Why are buyers of new M3W's content to put up with such poor build quality and make modifications to the vehicles themselves when under law MMC should be ensuring that every vehicle is "fit for purpose"
I'm guessing that every owner of a 3 wheeler has other everyday car/s, for no other reason but to emphasise my point, I can say my wife and I have probably bought 15 new cars in as many years. Of these we have had 2 with real problems, an Audi A5 and a Rangerover, the Audi had paint problems and the dealer/manufacturer agreed to exchange it for a brand new one, the Rangerover had many niggly problems and after 12 months of ownership they agreed to replace it with a new on again. Why are 3 wheeler owners not screaming at the factory? They too have legal obligations like ever other manufacturer. I will report back after mine has been to the dealer, I might have to eat my many words.
