The Plus Four is certainly a wonderful car in auto form it seems from you guys that have had a go and can give us all a real world comparison which is greatly appreciated. Like you I fear for the future and the ageing electronics plus I have read many tales on here of ageing Aero's getting very expensive to keep nailed together with remanufacturing of obsolete parts etc and that has no place in my future plans.

I need to know that when I fancy a drive I turn the key and away we go, one of the great features of a traditional is the very low running costs particularly if you do your own servicing and if it goes wrong you have a good chance of fixing it and a look under the bonnets of the Plus Six answered that question loudly to me.
124mph and 0-60 in 6.0Seconds is enough for me to be honest and I can live with 23mpg quite happily for the sound track provided grin2.

I think they will be very successful products for MMC but they will be going to the much needed "new" customer base in particular the USA I think.
