MG F 1.8i 2d (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I paid a good price for it. £7300 with 20k miles on. I don't think I would have spent much more though. For the price I paid it's a superb value sportscar.
Costs
Good fuel economy so far, even when heavy on the gas. Insurance is about average for a 1.8.

On the road
Driving
Good handling and the body doesn't shake or flex half as much as the Parker's review implies. Suspension, as with many other cars of this style, is very firm.
Performance
Good performance on the 1.8i. It can certainly hold its own. Keep the revs over 3k to get the best out of it!

Living with it
Reliability
Not had any major problems so far.
Image
A very nice looking car and running with the top down in the summer is superb. I wouldn't want to go back to four seats and a roof again!
Comfort
Half-leather seats are comfortable and the car interior is plenty spacious enough for me (although I'm only 5' 6").
