MG TF 1.8 VVC (160ps) 2d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Could have got a lot better value for £16500 and wish I had
Costs
Economical, but servicing is pricey, that's if they actually do the work you ask them to. Been in 3 times for a leak on the door and 3 times the leak has got worse.

On the road
Driving
Handles ok, feels like a sports car
Performance
Sporty engine, good acceleration, but not much else going for it.
-
Living with it
Reliability
For a brand new car has had too many problems. Leaks on the door seals, electric window motor failing and dead lock system kaput.
Image
Looks the part from the outside, but depends on colour though, but lack of quality on interior finish.
Comfort
The seating position is very poor, finishing on the interior bad, cheap and plastic interior doesn't reflect the over priced value when buying new.

Security and Service
Security
No problems as yet, but dodgy door seals and constant leaks affecting the dead lock system means it wouldn't take much to break in
Service
Shocking! Everything is an effort, too expensive, never do the work you want particularly on warranty basically could see why they went bust.
