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

In their own words

The car has it's cons and pros. It's a fun little car to drive specially due to its rear wheel drive and rear engine placement. Driving along with roof down on hot summer day was really enjoyable. Not a car you see on everyday basis roaming down the streets so had people looking when you drive by. Downside is the maintenance cost of the car. Due to the nature of the car, it needs to be maintained constantly so you need to be aware that you'll always need to have back up money to spend on the car. The parts aren't so easy to get and not exactly cheap which can get frustrating from time to time.

How reliable do you find the car?

MG TF being an MG TF isn't exactly a reliable car overall. To those who plan on buying one, need to know that the car requires constant maintenance. Fluids, regular check up, mainly rust issues and gasket issues ( if not replaced since new ).

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I knew what I was getting to be honest, but some things did let me down. The maintenance of the car is very important on it and rust hits this car quite quickly if not maintained properly. Also parts aren't as cheap and easy to get as you'd think of a car that type.
