Mark, I was pondering as you last fall. I think the old adage "Your mileage may vary" is useful, every unit is different and every utilization is, too. Those affect reliability.
The other issues not mentioned are both your own expectations and your own tolerance for not having those expectations met. We're used to pretty much bullet proof reliability in our cars. That's not a bad thing, but along with that comes a diminished ability to tolerate less. If you're the type of guy who cannot tolerate the occasional bug or more likely..the delay in fixing it...parts and prompt service availability... then maybe the 3 isn't for you. There are those who can answer the reliability issues they've experienced, but only you know your own levels of expectation and tolerance for things not going the way you need.

Well said. These hand assembled go carts go to live in the Alps, the deserts of Arizona and Australia, the rain soaked lands of GB... Toyota tests for hundreds of thousands of miles from Dubai to Alaska. MMC has a guy in a leather apron bolt one together and then ships them anywhere somebody can write a check from. No dealer network to speak of and the torture testing gets done by the folks smiling from ear to ear as they get the actual "true driving machine".

Thank you all, good to hear that issues while openly discussed are pretty much all but history these days, both new and resolved used cars. Especially like the "check it has had…." feedback.
Man maths and wife conversation in progress, so i'll see what happens.

Just on my way home from a day at the factory as part of the M3W Focus Group.
From what I learnt today the Morgan management have been tackling the historic problems head on and the M3W is now a well sorted machine.
I would most definitely recommend placing an order if you want a truly special driving and lifestyle experience

Today there are reliable, I do not regret a moment for purchasing in 2013 my three wheel, I have suffered some problems I do not regret this adventure, it serves me almost every day.
I did over 850 km between Thursday and Monday night and avoid the failure by the fuel.

If you have ever been in a relationship with a beautiful woman you might understand the M3W better, with all the ups and downs and all arounds I keep coming back for more of the most fun and frustration I've ever had. Go for it!

True, but when you live thousands of miles away from a service center, that's another story. Touch wood I haven't had a problem, but i plan to ship it back to the factory to get all the upgrades done to it. 2013
