Sure, there are quite a few that sold because family obligation (I mean, *I* had that conversation when my daughter was born soon after I bought the MZ4. Again, cold, dead, fingers.). Few sold for practicality purposes (garage, condo, apartment, small trunk...etc). Many were tempted by newer, more powerful models.

But no one ever sold the MZ4 because it's boring. NO ONE.

It's not a great car. It remotely passes as a "good" car. It has none of the modern driver's aid, but it has all the modern amenities (bluetooth, automatic climate, power seats*, heated seats*, HIDs etc) and a design that looks as good today as it did the day it rolled off the assembly line. In fact some would probably argue that it looks better TODAY than it did back in the early 2000s when Bangle and Flame Surfacing were two of the most hated phrases in automotive industry.

But forget all that. Few cars put a smile on my face every time I fire it up. This was one of them.
I can't agree more, the car was never "boring" a single time I drove it. Even for a little 2 mile trip back and forth from the grocery store was a joy to drive. Ahhh, you and this thread Hack.....the pain.
