I'm a bit surprised at the 200 miles between fill ups on the CX because when touring, even at motorway speeds you are getting 40 to 45 mpg often closer to 50 mpg so the tank can easily go to 300 miles, and by comparison after doing 300 miles in a trad. you need a little more than a petrol break to recoup.
All Morgans have problems, eg replacement radiators on trads. are not uncommon, electrical problems, corrosion, MOT emission testing issues, ECU, PCB it's a never ending list of problems, as detailed on the TM forum over the years. It's a common trait of Morgans for decades, often the by product of the lack of resources to fully develop and test, add in variable build and quality control., often exacerbated by the low mileages, infrequent usage and winter storage of many of the cars.
The CX and CXV platforms seem to be benefitting from increasing more dedicated engineering and development resources, and improving quality control in recent years...........I've toured in both trad and covered the miles in a CX and without question IMHO on today's congested roads and at my age and ailments, the CX automatic allows me to continue to drive a Morgan, long after I would have given up on a trad. I'm even considering in the fullness of time looking at getting a Supersport, whilst it has lost some of the Morgan design characteristic's,which is a shame, it has taken performance and handling onto a entirely new level and made a more capable everyday driving car.
But as they say each to their own.
