+1 to those comments. I drove a manual and an automatic Plus Four on Saturday. The brakes gave good decelleration but both had a very soft pedal, no initial bite and long travel. Both had extreme brake squeal hot and cold as well.

I know KH took the pads to a local motor factor to see if there was an alternative pad. They couldn’t find any.

The decision must be made by everyone. For me, a car that looks like a vintage sports car, must have a manual transmission and not an automatic. And for example I would never buy a New Cobra or a Super Seven with automatic....

I thought that until I drove the Plus Four auto. Hi John! So you also preferred the auto? Due to some missing papers I will not get my car until new week. Ah, the wait is killing me. :-)

Yes I loved it. The manual keeps you changing gear to be in the power band, the auto is always there & the power delivery is seamless.

A lot of motorcycle riders have had success in eliminating disk brake squeal using commercially available adhesive cushions (very thin) that are placed on the back of of the pads.

If Dacia can make a 10k car with non squeal brakes surely MMC can do that on a 75k car.

Ah, the wait is killing me. :-) Saw what I thought was your car at AW earlier this week. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hZacV8o.jpg) I was told they had two similar ones though and yours had already been collected. Maybe crossed wires? I can see why you were enticed
