Steering not very positive, lots of body roll.

Great acceleration, although it lacks guts when overtaking, compared to 1.6 version. Fuel economy great on a run, but poorer round town.

Living with it
Reliability
Since I have had the car (12 months) has been great, never failed to start, runs me around to work no problems which is a 80 mile round trip, still drives like new at 64,000 miles so can't be bad
Image
Sporty yet sophisticated. Expect to be burnt up by MG ZR owners all the time. Don't understand the pipe and slippers image
Comfort
Very comfortable with nice feeling of quality.
