Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms cx morgan

Having just brimmed the Roadster today, decided to reset all the trips, mpg etc (the 3.7's have a digital data line you can scroll) it showed range as 401 miles

You need to press that pedal on the right more

Having owned a traditional and currently a CX Plus Six its like comparing apples and oranges, they are both Morgans or fruit that's where the comparison ends.

Being 6ft 2 ins tall at least I can fit comfortably in the CX, I had to install a small steering wheel just to get in and out of the trad.

Her in doors hated the trad with a passion but is tolerant of the CX enough said.

Don't worry John, no way will it achieve that mileage, it's just what the 'puter thinks

If you get more than 10,000 miles out of a set of rear tyres you are not trying hard enough?

Hmmmmmm
I have got original tyres with 20k miles on a from new MY23. A significant percentage being on motorways. 5 trips to Scotland giving about 6k just getting there. Off the beaten track up there so slower narrow roads doubling that.
Some " getting a move on" .....no speeding, officer, honest! 🤫😇😬 The car handles better than my previous Plus8.
Wales' 20mph zoning plus other speed restrictions reduce options too. No track days.
Sport mode for quick overtakes.....my co-pilot watches the speedo ( gauge you pervs) and does sometimes comment on the acceleration and , ahem, the overtake speed. All done to minimise the hazardous overtaking manouvre to keep it safer. Clear road, mirror-indicate-go. Job done. No kittens have been harmed when doing this.
Tank capacity? Nowhere near the theoretical. Just use 250 as a rule of thumb leaving a decent margin. Handbook says 38litres? Some say 33 usable. On board computer shows mid 40's mpg on gentle runs giving 327range @33l. Rubbish!
Still much better mpg than the Plus8 though, and that had a 55l tank.
Car is a joy to drive, auto or paddle.

I run a traditional manual 2011 2 litre Morgan Sport in mid-Wales near Presteigne. Williams Morgan kindly loaned me an automatic 2025 Plus Four for a hour or so while my car had an annual service and check-over.
My memories of a manual 2020 CX remain impressive but the 2025 model albeit an auto is on an entirely different level for ease of driving, build quality and refinement. Yes, some of the traditional character has gone. For example, I happen to like a fly-off hand brake and am a tad surprised that the factory doesn't offer their customers a choice of bespoke "and/or" options?
