To me, relatively new to Morgan, but a fairly old hand at sports cars, it is the "flaws" which give a car character. The modern conveyances, with all the computer sensors and perfectly rational road behavior with safety built in to the handling and application of power are designed for those whose interest is not in the experience of driving the vehicle, but rather getting from one place to another in cosseted comfort. For me, those types of vehicles are not engaging, do not offer the more visceral experience of road feel and do not make demands of the driver. Those vehicles bore me.
This is it, in a nutshell. Although I can understand some people getting older, and wanting ease and convenience, that has never been my thinking. And I am someone who enjoys involvement in the actual driving, and that helps by chosing very early hours to get deserted roads.
I've had rentals with driver aids and electric handbrakes and even auto transmission, and hated every second. I don't even like cruise control. So I'm doomed.
