I had the 2008 Roadster 4 seater and at 6'2'' found the drivers seat quite tight compared a 2 seater, the seat is placed on taller wooden block/rails than a 2 seater and made it harder for me to get in and out. The post 2005 hoods are a challenge, the side screens with the metal colour coordinated lowers, really change the side profile of the cars. I rarely took the side screens off as I loved the classic side profile of these post 2005 cars, plus it can be fiddly to store the side screens in the car, so they don't get scratched. The looks of the post 2005 4 seaters are without question close to perfection and the fold down rear seats very well thought out and practical.
I found even with adjustable suspension all round I never felt happy with carrying 4 adults in the car. very far........it required having to crawl under the rear of the car to adjust the suspension to reflect the payload, and is not an attractive proposition in one best clothes or on wet ground, should one's travelling companions arrangements change. The Roadster 4 seater does suffer from axle tramp and trying to get the power down. I have heard that the 3.7 Roadster 4 seaters can be a bit of an animal to drive quickly
I had a Kent 4 seater and toured extensively in it 2 up, but if I was carrying 4 people on a regular basis I would want a more powerful version without question. There's a 2017 Plus 4 4 seater with power steering and an automatic box up for sale privately for £50k currently being advertised, which to me would make for a great continental cruising/touring car.
The very best of the 4 seater for me are the post 2005 versions, Morgan achieved near perfection in the overall look and seating arrangements .
