MG F (1995 - 2002) 1.8i 2d (1998/R) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I like our British motoring history and it was very sad when Rover folded up in 2005. So hopefully the car says I am a traditionalist and a bit of an eccentric (both of which are true)

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

They like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would, it is a great fun car and the parts are readily available and don’t seem to be very expensive.

What are you likely to buy next?

We would get a newer one, the MGF TF in the future.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£850

When did you buy the car?

March 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Private sale, I considered I got a good deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always wanted one but not practical for a family man. Kids have their own cars now so me and the wife thought we would treat ourselves.

What was the dealer like?

N/A

What's it like to drive?

It is just great to drive. The engine is fantastic over 3,000 rpm. It just flies.

What's it like to park?

Very easy. It is so small it fits in anywhere. Still seem to suffer with people opening their doors on it despite taking up only a small space.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, not yet.

What's most practical about your car?

Fuel consumption is good.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I guess the soft top not that I have had a chance to put it down yet!
