Rubbish.


Yes they really are rubbish. My cousin had one, a complete s...heap.

 

Since the 1930s, a lot has happened to that company. The company would fall on financial troubles and be sold numerous times. By 2005, British Motor Corporation Limited, British Leyland Motor Corporation, British Leyland, and Rover Group would all have their hands on the company.

 

In July 2005, the company fell on hard times again and was picked up by a Chinese company, Nanjing Automobile Group. Later to merge with Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation or SAIC.

Think we all know that stuff, but why do you quote the British MG performance brand is rubbish...?

Hi, i need to buy a pickup, the MG Extender 4 cabs is cheap, what do you think of it ? 

 

Thanks for your advice

Suggest you checkout facebook group Car,Complaints,Thailand and do a search on pantip

The question you need to ask yourself is why are they cheap

You got something posted right and SAIC have made it just as good as the MG models always were.

I have owned a 1964 MG, I have worked on many too, way back when. ????

You say rubbish performance, well I can tell you that for the era(s) they were not.

What "British" MG have you driven...?

Your "4 pot performance is rubbish" is daft....Plus, MG's had 6 and 8 pots in their line up...


 

My cousin had one when we shared a business together. So I was often in it. MGB about 1970 from memory. A creamy yellow color.


Noisy, rattles from everywhere, uncomfortable seats and a leaky roof. Always in the garage. I am trying to think of a worse car that I have spent any amount of time in, but can’t.

Girlfriend at the time had a little corolla Seca was heaps quicker. I had a 928s at the time, polar opposite to the MG “performance sports-car”
 

Nice of you to patriotically defend your brand, but they are well known for being unreliable s...heaps. You said yourself you have worked on many.


Don’t take it personally. I understand they appeal to some people, more the styling than anything else.

So you drove your cousins lemon to trash MG's.....????

 

Would you also trash the very famous Austin/Morris Mini Cooper S, who used the same engine build as the MG Midget....

To make a modern day comparison, my weeeee non turbo 998cc Suzuki Celerio has around the same HP as the old school Mini Cooper S....????

Natalie must be a'trolling.

After seeing all you girls get so defensive I thought I would look for another opinion. 
Pretty much what I think of them. All show, no go.

Anyone can find a video on any car that has had problems, from a Rolls Royce to the humble mini....

Cant really be bothered arguing about Chinese owned MG anymore.
The first post asked for an opinion. I gave it. 


Sorry for any face loss caused. I didn’t realize it was such a sensitive issue. 
 

i wouldn’t buy one.

Never had an MG but had a TR6 - no power, crappy suspension

327 4-speed fixed the lack of power, and coil overs fixed the hydraulic link-type rear suspension.

Saw lots of BMW dropped jaws
