MG have done well to understand what the market wants and package it up at price that people will be happy to pay. They’ve done their homework and it deserves to do well. Whilst it may not quite cover absolutely everything you may ever want from a car, it does however give you everything you’ll ever need. You’ve got to admit, it’s a hell of a lot of car for ten grand, and however mad you go with the options list you’d probably struggle to end up spending much more than £11,500 in total. MG have been bold with the equipment levels and pricing and in doing so have proved a point to both customers and competitors alike. Expect to see more red octagons on a street near you soon.
Price:
If you’ve seen the new TV or print adverts for the MG3, you’ll notice that, admirably, they have advertised the price for the top spec model rather than trying to snare you with a low on the road price only to disappoint you when you look into it more closely. As well as winning points for honesty, this strategy is likely to work in MG’s favour in attracting savvy buyers who want to know exactly what their money is going to buy them from the outset.
Graphics:
The great thing about these graphic options is that you can be fickle. Have one put on, then if you change your mind, or fashion changes it for you, then you can swap it for something else or remove it totally without ruining the car. Each pack is only a couple of hundred quid, meaning it can be used as an inexpensive way to keep your car looking fresh and interesting without breaking the bank.
Engine:
I wouldn’t say it’s particularly under or over powered, more that there is simply enough.
