Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

It looks nice and nothing else. It is not economic at all and has no power, seven years warranty? NO NO NO! on one condition that you will do all the services at the MG, if not, you will lose the warranty like I did after the first year, legally we are not obliged to service the car at the dealer, but anyway everything MG refused to give me a warranty on the rusty roof because I did not service them. You just have to pay a lot money and service at the MG, full service was £ 360 a year ago in MG, Eurofit was £120! The service with them is terrible, when repairing the car they put the wrong parts, and all the information from the dashboard disappeared. Repaired twice a year, and therefore once on a tow truck. On the service in Eurofit they found out what the MG broke. Communication with them is also terrible, they never call back like they say, for six months they checked whether I have a car warranty or not. Now I have a very expensive painting of a rusty car. I do not recommend MG at all, avoid them from afar. I will never buy MG again.

How reliable do you find the car?

Twice in repair and another one awaits me because the car rusts after a year of use, Blocked oil valve, body control module replaced twice, Rusty roof. All expensive repairs.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

A car for slim people only, narrow seats, mirrors limited range of adjustment and I see them all the time part of my car, not the whole road. Jerks the engine when it's cold.
