Summary
What does this car say about you?
That I'm a middle-aged boy racer!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Had a few envious glances. It's copperleaf red, and looks stunning when washed & polished and the sun is shining.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definately, but as MG only makes the TF now, I can't buy a new one.
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably an invalid scooter!

No

£3,500
When did you buy the car?
March 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
It was advertised for £4k I offered £3500 cash & no part-ex. It's a 2005 on a 54 plate. 39000 miles, FSH, in mint condition, inside & out.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I also have a ZT190 & needed something more ecconomical as my daily commute drive.
What was the dealer like?
Fine

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
I've had it chipped, so have an average 35% more power than standard, which makes driving it a hoot. It's a bit noisey on the motorway at high speed.
What's it like to park?
Excellent. Good visability & small size make it a doddle to park.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Not yet... Touches wood!
What's most practical about your car?
Fuel economy & size - I needed something small & cheap to run
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It's not really awash with gadgets, so I guess the Aircon is my favorite.
