    I'm insanely jealous of your incoming 3-wheelers. It's been years since I decided I had to have one, so I finally stopped by the Morgan dealership in Morgantown, WV (perfect location I suppose). Much to my dismay, there's no way I could drive one. While I was able to physically fit inside, they're extremely narrow to the point that my legs were completely scrunched together, making it much too difficult to operate the pedals and as well as being somewhat uncomfortable. Dream shattered!

    Congrats!!

    I desperately want one, but the price point for me personally is too high. Would rather purchase a used atom.

    If prices ever come down to something I feel is reasonable, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase. The local Charlotte dealer is great too, if anyone in the area is interested in one.

    Anyone have sense of pricing? Some seem to be sitting at dealers. Does Morgan ever take a discount or would the dealer rather sit on a car? 10%? 15%?

    Just drove one today in Maui. You can rent one at Mauiminigo.com. It was stellar. I will post pics soon. Went up the volcano, through the rain and fog and puched through the clouds to the sun above! It is NOTHING like anything I have ever driven. The engine is in front of the front axle, sounds like a Harley, has 0 blind spots and is absolutely nuts. Big difference in price between the first couple of production years and I believe 2015 or so and onwards when they fixed some issues. That is my understanding anyway.

    I had so much fun on my first drive. Yes, rattles, etc.
    Smile from ear to ear- feels like going back in time to driving for joy, which I suppose was the entire point of the vehicle. Something akin to driving a motorcycle / car hybrid, which also seems obvious.

    Easy to drive, immediately comfortable. I’m 6’1”- fit just fine, didn’t remove steering wheel to get in and out. Turning radius of the QEII. No dead pedal, so not a long haul cruiser.

    A bit of a purchase whim (didn’t think I would actually win, kind of a “why not” half hearted attempt to win). So very pleased to have this thing.

    The cool factor and oddball nature must make it a hoot to drive, I am jealous:)

    Thread revive, loving the pocs of the modern interpretation of the 3-wheeler.

    Objectively better, but is that the point or appeal of a 3 wheeler.
    Sounds good, but is the aircooled v twin not a big part of the appeal.
