Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Plus Four, Supersport & Plus Six (CX & CXV Generation Vehicles) 2021 Model Year Seats

I agree with you but not on one point, the différence between a last trad and the cx is massive.
In Belgium we have more and more low emission zone. I am pretty sure that
my 4/4 of 2000 is not allowed to enter Brussels , im not sure about my arp4
wich has another engine as indicated on the CoC.
Now with the plus four i should not have a problem for several years.
The next will be electric ( the new three wheeler?)

Well said Julian. The CX is a great car. The Plus Four is a stunner in auto mode but the trads have for me more character / feeling I guess.

I think Cooperman's mention of luggage space is important if you like touring holidays. The Trads have a bit more space inside, not a lot, but enough.

Well said Julian, I will be keeping my 4/4 (for now)

Spot on Julian, the 4/4 Sport delivered the pure essence of a Morgan to me and 24,000 totally joyful miles and the Plus 8 does exactly what you describe + that totally addictive soundtrack.. which is what put the stops on the Plus Four for me, at the moment anyway

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact they are "toys" and not to be taken too seriously

Yep, important to me as we do some tours that can approach 2000+ miles

We have a proper glovebox, a footwell locker, a transmission tunnel map pocket, trinket box between seats, electrical spares in the engine bay fusebox, very useful door pockets, stuff under the seats, space behind the seats, large(ish) parcel shelf, alloy tool tray stuffed full of tools & spares, and that's all before Mrs M fills the luggage rack

A lot of the above simply isn't possible with a CX

Ditto. We use Belle to tour. Last year Northumberland and Guernsey.

Storage is CX's number one problem.

On the other hand, the road qualities are much better on the CX than on the trad and the car is much less tiring to drive on long journeys.

I would add one other aspect, maybe personal but worth mentioning?

They are also a little bit mobile-work-of-art and I think most of us like the visual lines of the car regardless of the model/age. People will let you out of a junction and smile at you/car which makes every day better. I think the CX retains that value of beauty but attracts the people who want something that can be treated like a modern car (e.g. spend a bit at the dealers and let them sort out the issues) and bring more modern to travel in? Thats cool if they have the pockets and desire. Not everyone has that desire.

There is a bum for every seat so I do not see one as better than another,

I totally agree. We were looking seriously at buying a Plus Four but the principal reason for not doing so was the lack of storage space inside. It was a tough decision as I loved the drive of the CX.
