He really has the bug & the grin. Shame he didn't try the Plus four auto. He is enthusiastic indeed about Morgan. I am a little concerned it came across as more of an "advertorial" rather than a clinical car review...

A little too little on handling, stability while braking,…
Too much on accelerating: that is EV-territory
Morgans tend to understeer and the heavier 6cyl should do that more vs the 4
…
But: very enjoyable and touching the essence of what a Morgan is all about

I agree John.
I suspect he would have similar levels of wheelspin esp in S+ mode on those roads….
I wonder if Morgan will pick up on the feedback on the muck that accumulates on the inside of the windscreen and make some sort of “interruptor” to reduce that - it always means you regret having the roof down in the current damper conditions…
He certainly seemed to enjoy his experience though overall

That is always going to be a problem with minor reviewers who are beholden to MMC for access and facilities. Autocar and Autoexpress are large and influential enough to be independent.

PetrolPed has over 132k subscribers and his videos have been viewed almost 28 million time (28 m!!! I can't even imagine that number). So he is no 'new kid on the block'.

No problem - I had no idea until did some research for the next ThamesMOG newsletter. As I said, 28m views

HB I've endured that since I got the Plus 8 in 2014. I think the flat rear deck is part of the problem, So if I ever change to a new Plus Four it will be with a rear spare wheel. As to the wheel spin, the Plus 8, along with all S4 Aero Chassis cars have a LSD, why don't the CX cars??

Peter,
my 3.7l roadster with spare or without does the same. Far worse than the S1 & previous trads. I think it is the front undertray & rear panel for the fog & reverse lights.
