MG TF (02-05) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 2002 These funsters are fitted with free-revving engines located behind the rear seats to give balanced handling and confident roadholding. The F had a hydra-gas suspension set up that has been replaced with more conventional springs and dampers on the TF. This allows a more sporting feel, but at the expense of ride quality which is better on the older car. The VVC engine is the pick of the range - adding spice to this already convincing package. 2.5 out of 5 Other MG reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety Only the driver gets an airbag as standard, and side bags aren't an option. However, it did score well in the crash test and it's the safest car to hit pedestrians with. Has an alarm, immobiliser and deadlocks.

We see no reason to expect the TF to fair much better so close proximity to a dealer would be an advantage.
