Funny, that's exactly the reaction I get here in Texas...people stop me incessantly and tell me how great they think the car is, then they ask me how much it costs....
I tell them, and they look at me like I'm completely insane. I must admit that they do have a point!

Same here in Illinois. With a Harley with a side car going for $30K and a trike for $35K, I don't think many Bikers will come over. spend
But there's always 25 people standing around it, looking and smiling. love
Then there is also always the one quiet guy in the back with the 'Walter Mitty' look on his face. He gets it ! thumbs

thumbs cheers

I'm hoping that's an accolade..!! I do try not to be an objectionable A-H..

I'm a positive type of character; I dislike moaners and nay-sayers because they simply soak up energy & people get very worked up arguing. There are comments written on forums worldwide that result in lots of toys thrown out of prams, none of which relate to the facts of the subject.

The danger of forum posts is that it's all too easy for a casual reader to be taken in by these whingeing posters & opinion sayers.

Am I denying the M3W's problems? No, not a bit. But lets be factual & not opinionated. I can empathise with those who suffer issues, but the car is designed, built & marketed in good faith by people who are in an honest business. They aren't out to purposely fleece people's wallets or deny that product will never need upgrades or improvements. It's not Honda, after all.

There is a wind of change blowing through those factory walls just now; you can speculate why to your hearts content, but the fact is it's happening.

I'm not on here to pick arguments, and I'd hate anyone to be offended by my comments, but I am passionate about the damn car, especially as it cost me more than my first house mortgage to buy the thing!

There are still issues emerging even as I write this; trapped & badly routed wiring harnesses being the latest. This is the benefit of a forum, easy information about facts.

Facts. Not whether Joe Bloggs thinks the things rubbish.

Time for a fresh cuppa now.. coffee

Well done Steve, thanks for clarifying.

Actually, I really don't feel that most of the posts on here are moaning and whinging, but people are just saying it as it is. Virtually all of us love the little car, but by highlighting some of the obvious glitches which should've been easily avoided, it will focus the factorys' attention on sorting them out a little more than they otherwise may have done. Not many of us know what the directors at the factory actually think about us all, probably that we are a bit of a nuisance, and wish we'd just buy our cars and go away.

However, there does appear to be a wind of change and a willingness to listen, whether this will translate into a better car, only time will tell.
