Madmax, you bang on about Morgans having character. Am I to understand you consider the features listed by Bob in his last post are desirable? Do you seriously believe that having to fettle a £50K+ purchase is part of the attraction of ownership? Are you content to accept the excuse that "they all do that, sir"?

Please explain how a Morgan has character and a Boxster doesn't.



I'm cheating ! I have a z4mc 'everyday sports car' , it isn't really possible to fettle but its far from perfect as many describe most Porsches , the z4mc has to be driven and it does slide about and it can bite as it doesn't forgive being pushed round corners .It does sound nice when accelerating but is planets away from a plus 8 .


So am I to infer that imperfection is synonymous with character? It's a strange state of affairs when imperfection is considered desirable.



Er , how about the old 911's pre '90's with the nasty habit of not exiting corners and hitting the scenery , now they were characterful ! So maybe its that characterful cars have to be driven whereas perfect cars don't !Scary in degrees of versus not scary at all ?
