Hi,

My first trip in my +4 was 453 miles home in all weather. Not only was it comfortable and a pleasant way to travel but I found it quite a bonding experience with the car's wee character. I've had a lot of cars and heard the same rhetoric from any number of wannabees for whatever I had at the time. Sometimes comments passed can be taken out of context or exaggerated for effect (I'm guilty of this for the sake of humour in an entry here among knowing company - at least they should know!) but a stranger reading some of the comments might pass them on with a negative spin. You've owned classics and 'superior marques' so you know the drill. See a few, drive a few, make your own informed decisions. Good fortune in whatever you decide on.
