Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Goes round corners as if it's on rails. Great on motorways especially with the 5th gear. It's best on country roads where the sport car characteristics really show. This one has the 11 spoke wheel option which really shows the car off.
What's it like to park?
Parks with ease, good lock, good visibility. Goes into places bigger cars can't reach.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, nothing. When I bought it, knowing the in-built faults, I took it straight to an MG specialist mechanic even though it was not exhibiting any faults. He fitted the correct engine parts and I now have a reliable car.
What's most practical about your car?
There are not many cockpit accessories, so there is not much to go wrong. It does have electric windows and a superb stereo system. .
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Exceellent air conditioning, cheap to operate, just put down the roof which is incredibly easy to do.
