I drove a manual plus four the other year and was amazed by it. It is better all round than a trad car.
I've had a lot of trads so whilst I'm not an expert in anything at all, I've driven and owned a lot of what MMC produce.....🙃
The issue (in my opinion) with the CX cars is that for the price of them, they are competing with a lot of very good, highly developed opposition.
But it is still a Morgan.
I can see why the 'trad' shaped body is on the CX chassis, but I wonder if something a bit more daring is being designed.........
The Mazda gearbox is good, but it's still in a car designed a100 years ago or so, so it's really like polishing a turd.............😁
