General Comments:

Considering the miles I bought it at (116k), I was surprised how well it ran, sounded and performed. I did expect more power, but in all honesty only bought it as a gap filler while I saved for what I actually wanted. It holds the road well, with plenty of feedback. Gearbox is still sweet and smooth. Very comfortable with good room in the back. Easy to park, even though it's huge. Good visibility and decent turning circle.

On the negative side, internally they're poor. The door cards aren't fully attached, with broken clips which cause them to rattle. All but one of the interior door handle surrounds are loose or missing. As for the engine, after about a thousand miles it dumped a load of water and started overheating. I'm expecting the head to go at any moment.

Faults:

One of the rear wheel bearings went slack after I had taken her on a track day in Germany. It didn't cause a problem it was noticed when I had the oil changed after I got home.

Apart from that I've had no problems at all.

General Comments:

The car is good at everything, it's comfortable around town and soaks up the miles when carrying out long journeys e. g Germany in 5 hours felt like 2!

I use mine for track days and can out run most other usual machinery found at these meetings.

It's easy to drive with a slick gear-change and responsive steering.

Faults:

Sticky boot release when cold. This was fixed during the first service by the dealer.

General Comments:

A beautiful car that turns heads - the test is do you look back at the car when you park it on the drive at night? I do it every time.

Trophy Blue is a superb colour, but getting a bit too popular now though.

Interior is rock solid with no rattles or squeaks after 33,000 miles. Seats are very comfortable too, even on long journeys. The reason for the side supports becomes apparent when you test the car's amazing cornering abilities - it's the only way you'd stay in the car when you really push it!

Faults:

Nothing, it runs like a dream.

General Comments:

A great car! Very different to my previous car (Toyota Celica) but just as quick.

This car growls when you're in a hurry and purrs when you're not.

My pearlescent blue Tourer is still rare enough to be acknowledged by other blue Tourers as they go past.

What's even better is that because no one else knows how good they are, you can pick up a nearly-new example (like mine was at 15 months old) for just 60% of list pice!

All in all a fantastic car to own and drive.

Faults:

Head gasket failure, Engine lost a serious amount of power as accelerating and it's never been the same since, Brake failure as heading into a dual carriage way at the lights, Leaks from all windows around the car and finally, air-conditioning failure.

General Comments:

A really bad car for the same amount as a proved quality car like my next car a BMW 3-series. No wonder the smart BMW group sold Mg-Rover for £10.00 it was a real rip-off to BMW they could have got more! Generally bad attempt at the sport tourer group and a shambles the British reputation across Europe. NEVER BUY AN MG-ROVER THEY'RE CRAP TAKE IT FROM ME!
