Being a Plus 4 owner since 2010, 6 years and 30.000 kms later I can only say good things about this car. It's the perfect package, a good car for traveling with the wife, a good car for a lively drive because of its lightwheight nature coupled with some torque and power, and even a good car to do the odd hillclimb and get some scores nobody expects.
It's even a car that allows you to squeeze quite a bit more from, and the only reason I don't do a full overhaul (
Williams Morgans Style ) or at least follow Peter (Gambalunga)'s step by step upgrading is because I feel the car is "good enough" for what I need and so I save the money to other "more needy" ventures.
So, nothing against a Roadster, would probably love to own one, but I'm quite pleased with the Plus 4 and feel no need to change.
One final word about quality of build. I have absolutely no complaints, maybe it was luck (considering Peter's problems, but I'm not sure if his car having A/C has something to do with it) but my Plus 4 has been 100% trustworthy. So far it only needed the scheduled maintenance and the fuel to perform its duties without flaw.
