I have a 2002 Plus8 with Gems management.
Lovely car.
Effortless cruiser, a bit heavy steering at parking but lovely feel on the move.
25k miles done with no issues. The management light did come on a couple of times but for "randon intermittent misfire" code that I reset. The misfires were undetectable. Last summer the mpg was touching 30 so very pleased. It is comfortable, new AVO shocks late last year...very nice improvement and set to 7 clicks front and lowest rear. Librands rollbar added. Removable steering wheel but only taken off if I need access to the dash.
The under bonnet temp does get high, no engine overheating as the fan kicks in. A couple of minor wiring blips but sorted ok.
A great move from the '93 4/4 that was also nice but a totally different animal. Do you ever go to the Taffmog meetings? If so, let me know and I'll meet you at one of them. I would like to look over a well sorted plus 8.

If you do test one, my advice is to try it with the roof up and down ... roof up: squeaks and rattles from side screens and roof/screen join. Roof down... glorious, nothing in the world as relaxing (if it is a nice warm sunny day!) but it is very drafty!
The ride quality on rough single track country lanes is quite appalling, and I end up driving around 30mph. But I am totally in love with mine, and know I will never sell it. I had mine out today, parked up at Castle Howard for a coffee, and it just looks amazing, nothing like it for the money. I also saw another Mog out, it was a pleasure to BEEP BEEP horns and wave to one another. I also ended up parked next to a similar colour BMW Z4 and a silver 911 they were pleasant, but nothing more. I'm sure their owners [/i]like [i] them, but will they [/i]adore[i] them?
One thing is for sure, you won't ummm and ahhh... you'll love it or hate it!
