Had the car two days. Its an auto version. Its amazing, big advance on my old 3.0 Roadster in most respects, but not all:
Pluses:
- very very quick indeed, and my Roadster was not slow. Stress: really quick.
- great handling, especially cornering (despite Autocar's view)
- quieter than the Roadster (except for the V8 exhaust noise which is perfect, sounds like armageddon if pushed hard)
- manual select (no clutch) option on the auto gearbox is better than my Jag. You can drive it as a manual, but it will still over-ride your gear if revs too high or going too slow - ideal.
Minuses: (apart from price)
- good feel, but steering not quite as in touch with the road as the Roadster, but handles rough roads better;
- usual Morgan niggles, things lose, fan not working, switch illumination not working (fuses ok)
- steering wheel looks wrong, but as it houses the airbag I presume insurance issues if I change it
- pity no wire wheels, but clearly impossible with size of brake callipers
And
- wife likes the heated seats
