Autocar test China version MG5

Should I buy one?

If you’re based in the UK, then you can’t. And on the basis of this test the wisdom of prioritising the SUV for sale is probably no bad thing.To make this car competitive in the UK market would take a great deal of work, although it must be said that the firm’s parent company, SAIC, is already making great strides in its powertrain development, and has a proven track record with the MG 6 for making a sweet riding and handling car.
Furthermore, we would urge some caution before laying in to MG; this car did not feel entirely right, the test venue was far from perfect. Perhaps it’s fairest of all to wait until we get the opportunity for a full road test before drawing too many conclusions.

Morris Motors wrote:"This car did not feel entirely right" - now, if they were on SAICs test track, how likely is it that SAIC would let them test a car with issues? Could it be that the test car WAS entirely right, and it's iffy-ness is why it's not selling well?
