Nearly 2 weeks of using the Plus Four as my daily driver, looking forward to getting her serviced at Malvern on Tuesday, make a day of it doing factory tour etc.

What I enjoy most.

Ease of operation, so easy to drive, nicely weighted steering, ride pretty compliant compared to a trad, Still feels like a Morgan and much of that is created as soon as you sit in it by the trad type interior, with oceans of polished walnut dash, centre consul and wood steering wheel, just looks and feels period.. Not so sure if I had the MY23 and later metal dash and BMW wheel whether I would feel as at ease created by years of familiarity and richness of the best of a trad dash.. A nice place to be. Comfort plus seats are great with a nice seating position. Parking is so easy by comparison no heavy steering. Whilst still tight much more space to make entry and egress with the roof up easier than a trad. especially with my size of frame. The cabin feels much roomier with loads of room for my feet. The central locking is a boon no bending down fiddling with getting a key in the lock, feels more secure, whether it is iin reality a different matter/issue.

Not so happy with,

Mirrors, wipers, draughts, small petrol tank


For some the loss of the tighter more intimate cabin of the trad. and of course the much less involvement/effort to drive the CX will have it's critics. Lack of cog swopping will be anathema to many. But I can see once I get the draughts sorted out, this is a serious all year round driving car, which will allow me to enjoy my Morgan far more than I ever would if it was a trad. No tucking away over winter, capable of covering vast distances with ease and arriving in relative style.

I haven't had a daily driver Morgan for nearly 30 years, my more recent Morgans I rarely used during the winter.I'm beginning to realise what I've missed, not so much the wet and cold, but the feel of oneness that you can only get in a light powerful two seater sport car. It's ability to focus you more on the journey and how much more quickly you seem to cover the same journey compared to other cars and how much more enjoyable and less tiring the journey becomes.. Even Susan remarked on how much she enjoyed the exhaust bark, something in a trad we found would become intrusive and annoying after a while.
