What were your daughters overall impressions.
Rich ,
She was impressed , she says
"It felt modern with lots of nice touches like air-conditioning, but still in keeping with the Morgan brand (she has done a factory tour so knows all about the handmade ethos etc) . I really liked the black dashboard and centre console (I didn't) The ride was incredibly smooth (she does drive my +8 so she has a datum line) and the acceleration exhilarating as a passenger. Not enough luggage space for me! The seats were very comfortable. Overall I really enjoyed the ride."
On the tech side she couldn't get her phone to Bluetooth synch with the car, as she felt there was something missing in the brief instructions we received from Keith. She is also a big fan of automatics having just bought a new VW T-Roc with a 7 speed DSG box, so she is as keen as I am to try one.
I think it is kind of nice that a young person with a very different perspective on motoring felt so positively towards the car. Morgans market seems to be getting older. A acquaintance of mine in the HRG (remember those?) club was once asked what the average age of a club member was , and he replied "dead" .
Andy,
Thank you very much for your daughters views on the car they are very important as she is right in the sector the company is aiming to attract I imagine, relating to your HRG comment it's vital for them to do so too.
That is positive on the ride side of things as that's the thing I'm rather hoping will win my good lady over as she finds the Plus 8 too raw.
Her comment on the seating is good too as that is a vital area for my wife.
Possibly there will never be enough luggage space for the ladies so fair comment.
Do report back please if you get a shot in the automatic they do sound the sweet spot going by previous impressions on TM which of course are coherent and valued unlike the press for me.
Please thank your daughter for her impressions.
I'm delighted that the new car has impressed, MMC should be pleased, I think keeping the trad lines on an aero chassis is a very clever bit of design.
