The issue I wonder about most is again the useability. Is the Plus 4 just a car for a nice sunny afternoon bimble to the pub? Or can it be used by two golden oldies fond of their comforts for a trip to Spain.

If I wanted to rough it I would buy a Caterham. I dont. I like comfortable seats, good heaters, dry trousers, and arriving with my fillings still in place. I thoroughly enjoyed the short two test drives I have had in a Plus 4 but I did wonder how long it might be before fascination with the old style ride / handling / facilities would turn into irritation.
