Mixed views I think - speak to Smokey though - he's got one !

I had a SE for a weekend on test. Not impressed to be honest. I did do a thread.

Smokey 21-04-16 09:10 PM

I loved mine when I got it, almost a year on and I still love it. Don't get me wrong, It's not got the exciting feel of power the 180's have but it's competent and I have the TSE so plenty of toys.
Haven't had many niggles with it either so far and did the 1000+ miles to Brands the other week flawlessly.

The one i'm looking is the SE 1.8T Full electrics, Sat nav, parking sensors, etc
I'm not looking for fast:no: I'm getting to old for that lol

EDIT your first mg is in my signature photo.

Smokey 21-04-16 09:35 PM

That must be Jim's yellow hatch on the other side then! I still have the photos from that day at Knockhill.

The 6 is a very respectable car. I usually get 'MG still make cars?' or 'I thought that was a beemer' so it's never had negative comments lol.

It's comfortable too and I have the magnette so good boot space just a small opening. It will look racier soon though when the warranty expires!

Mark S 21-04-16 09:37 PM

with the 6 diesel trading at a smidge over 7k on a 64 plate and the 1.8t at 3.5k on 61 plates, you'd be a fool not to consider these as a cracking used buy.
As a new buy you would have to be a fool to suffer the heavy depreciation and lack lustre performance.
But lb/££ used, you are hard pushed to find better deals

Smokey 21-04-16 09:49 PM

I'd agree Mark. I know I love MG as a brand, I wouldn't have bought the 6 without careful consideration and comparison. Value for money is important and I feel I got that.
Mine was £7k for and '11 plate Magnette TSE with 39k miles on it. Came with 1 year warranty. That's the 1.8T petrol. And that was almost a year ago so probably £6k these days.

Plus the remap that should be coming this year will hopefully see it at 195bhp

Skillen 21-04-16 10:33 PM

With all the stuff already there for higher powered turbo k's it'll be a doddle for tuning and building too!
