I take all the issues and quality problems mentioned here by others serious. And I agree that Morgan should make some homework which is necessary to make owners happy and let us feel confident.
When I recall some of my first posts here in 2009 I certainly did not make many friends regarding some explicit description of qualiy issues. But the joy of driving a Mog won over the years till now. May be my post about teething and the badge enamel shows a little bit of an ironic attitude, but somehow in certain situations, when quality issues become aware, it helps... at least myself, when reacting with a note of bitter humor.
The most important point to me is, that during the ownership of some Mogs, mostly the same areas of quality issues will repeat from car to car and therefore they are somehow predictable.
Therefore, it should be manageable for Morgan to rise the quality a bit, when focussing such areas.
The door mirrors are like a symbol for those areas, Morgan should really better this. The mirrors are completely useless and the mirror holder is of the cheapest quality of cheap chrome, which lasts until the first rain appears. As those experiences are priming the otherwise proud owners I would never save some pence on those emotionally important items.
To come back to the topic of this thread, I would again buy a newish car because the joy of day to day driving has my priority. But the drift of the thread shows, that obviously a new Mog is closer to a classic Mog regarding the need of maintenance and care in comparison with other brands.
Perhaps someone could start a poll to collect experiences, which areas of quality issues are how often mentioned, which are technically important to solve, and which are emotionally important to solve.
(I hope I could make clear the differentiation between "technically" and "emotionally". i.e. engine issues vs. mirros)......of course techical failures will arise bad emotion as well.
