    Standard spec' low, otherwise car is great value.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Don't believe motoring press. Could be quicker, however rear end far easier to control than Mazda MX5 (for example) and far superior to MGF overall.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Engine note is fantastic. Performance so-so.

  • Living with it

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Badge gives it the edge on rivals. Also looks more grownup and less lightweight than other roadsters.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Snug, but comfortable.
