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!

£3,500

March 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?

I also have a ZT190 & needed something more ecconomical as my daily commute drive.

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.
