My plus six has been off the road now, as two of the wheels a £3600 optional extra! are as soft as toffee and have 'squashed' when I hit a pothole, wheels are not fit for purpose. also battery drains after a couple of weeks none use. my daily car can seem to survive weeks of none use without any issues. for £90k word will get around and sales will slump. i honestly can't say i would recommend one, also my brakes are poor compared to my roadster which are excellent. how can development go backwards?
I love my Morgans, and overall the six is an exciting car. but these issues do spoil ownership.
Rant over.

The 2 weeks battery life isnt that uncommon. Certainly I was warned about that by the Ferrari dealer and I believe my new to me Merc isnt that far off either. 40 or 50 mA is fairly common to power everything from alarm to clock and immobiliser but some cars go upt to 150mA If your battery is already only half charged the 14 days would see you in trouble,.

Problem is most people dont have a clue how long the engine has to run to fully charge a battery and think that a 15 minute run is enough. In reality if your battery is half charged it will take hours running to get it to full because the charging current drops of sharply as the battery voltage rises.
