What does this car say about you?

Don't know, that is for others to decide. I feel good in it though and people do look at the car (especially when roof is down).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Its a good looking sports car. Nice colour. Some think I was going through a mid-life crisis. LOL!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes but won't be though. Now maturing in life and don't fancy rolling in & out of the car anymore. LOL!!

What are you likely to buy next?

Fiesta ST - already on order.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£13,500

When did you buy the car?

March 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

Part exchange my MG ZR 120 for it and deal on offer was very good. A shame that the dealer went out of business because of the Rover/MG collapse.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted a 2 seater soft top & the MG TF always caught my eye - its a nice looking sports car.

What was the dealer like?

Very Good when existed.

What's it like to drive?

Its a firm drive, road holding very good and with care, even in the wet too. Acceleration very good especially if you use the gears correctly. Nature of car prefers the open country roads.

What's it like to park?

Surprisingly OK but extra care needed when reversing. Your blind spot is the roof so need to use mirrors most of the time when doing so. Always best to park away from other cars - more space to open your doors & get out.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just one thing - drivers electric window motor - replaced under warranty otherwise no problems.

What's most practical about your car?

A two seater sports car - pracitable? Not really otherwise you would not want one - would you?

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Putting the roof down on nice days. Listening to the sound of the engine!
