The more I used this MG hatch back the greater was my realisation that it represented a fresh approach to what we expect from a new car, a development that could spark off some serious re-thinking across the car making/selling world.
It is inexpensive (there are slightly cheaper lower specification examples on offer), it’s practical with reasonable luggage capacity with split fold rear seats and adequate oddments stowage, it has a touch of character and it is an MG car that falls in a very low 4-grade insurance rating, the latter factor very good news, especially for younger drivers. http://mg.co.uk/mg3
