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

In their own words

Absolutely no dislikes owned 4 in total cheap to buy and run can be fixed on pocket money, great Honda influences and build quality, no plastic front wings on these, fuel consumption good for a 1.6. nice retro driving style, pity rover went bust. Only places of concern, solid front brake disks can overheat in summer months if driving with a passion with lots of braking, also if towing. Head gaskets another biggy, providing water level is regularly checked and leaks repaired as they occur, and the engine isn't overheated you wont have a problem. even if it fails its £170 fitted for the later improved MLS one. Don't overlook these cars and don't forget there's always the sportier MG ZS to consider

100% reliable what more can I say.
