This is a good report so I think. Look how young the reviewer is. He has got the fun with the Morgan. Things like opening the roof, we know it, all good. That the brakes are not that good has been said by everyone whomdrove one. But all in all it was very positive!

Very amateurish video with lots of wind noise. Not a sensible comparison either - the Morgan is an open car and should be compared with other open cars like the Mazda or the Boxter or maybe the 4 pot F type. Comparing it to a shopping trolley / hot hatch isnt fair on either car.

I love his enthusiasm, not too much around these days, thanks for posting. I found this Plus Four in what will probably be my choice and very close on spec, it's the first I've seen in that colour scheme.

The wind noise is annoying. I must say my Reactolite glasses don't give the speedo issues.

Comparing a hatchback with a convertible twice its price is next to useless but it did seem the Morgan was more fun.

I liked it. No matter what the car, it was interesting to compare two totally different cars with the same engine. Not a lot of people do that, but I thought it worthwhile out of interest.
Agree with his thoughts on LCD display and difficulty seeing with sun glasses.

Agree with his thoughts on LCD display and difficulty seeing with sun glasses. I think the sunglass issue is that any sunglasses with a Polaroid/Polarizing capability will interfere with the LCD display. This should not happen with LCD displays, it suggests MMC value engineered the display. Another car they could have compared with the same engine is the BMW X2....

Rear seat trim in matching leather € 750 - how much of that is the search fee? Rich, I do like the colour. I assume the same sports Green that was a standard colour on the Trad's for a long time.
