Nippy round town and a fast motorway cruiser. Brakes not brilliant.

Living with it
Reliability
CVT Auto gearbox problems, ECU and head gasket - to name a few!
Image
Latest MG and 25 makes it look a little dated. 'Old man's' car?
Comfort
Front seats don't have the best back support. Rear very cramped. Poor ventillation. A/C would be a must next time.

Does the job. Probably easily bypassed.
