"Semi-magical" nails it. My first Brompton came used with an e-assist system which I eventually decided detracted too much from the purpose of the bike. I sold it, but I continued to be mesmerized by the little pieces of British iron, so I recently bought a new Stardust Black M6L (no motor). I love it! There's something irresistible about the ability to flip the rear wheel under as a kickstand, then collapse the whole thing into a little square and toss it in the trunk. Of course that wouldn't matter if it was a lame ride, but I really get a kick out of the way it goes and turns. Even the weird narrow bars and topmount shifters (2016; the '17s have wider bars, underbar shifters) fit me great. The thing just works for me, so I'm probably not a very objective reviewer at this point.
