I recently had the pleasure of test driving the new Plus Six. Very good build quality, a little bit more space inside, breathtaking acceleration, stiff chassis, comfy suspension, perfect automatic gear change, power steering …. . It’s by far the best Morgan I have ever driven; it’s almost a perfect car. But this perfection is, in my eyes, the negative point of this fantastic car. It drives easily, effortlessly, modern, like a BMW Z4 disguised in a Morgan body, but not like a "classic" Morgan.
Would a dedicated Morgan fan, like I am, really want to miss the ancient driving feel, the squeak and rattle, the joy of changing gears, …. ?
In some years this Plus Six will perhaps become my favourite choice (if I then can afford to spend around 100 grand on such a "toy"). But for the moment, I’m young enough to enjoy driving my fellow Plus Four.
The only detail I now miss in my +4 is the space to comfortably rest my left foot – due to the automatic transmission, the +6 has no clutch pedal.
