They are **** cars. Terrible build quality, poor finish and ugly as sin. Look at them from the side - wheels and windows too small for the enlarged door area. Crap after sales support. Yes there are warranties and garages, but getting parts to complete the repairs are a different story. Wouldn't touch one.

I showed that grey one to a mate who had his lexus is250 se-l written off by a lorry last week and he is tempted to go view it.
we all know that these MG's are not the real thing but that does not make them a heap of ****. badge snobbery coming into play here. its an MG but not an MG who cares?

Sorry to say but the 6 isnt and wont be an MG, its a rebodied attempt at a new chinese car the Roewe 550 from which it comes from is utter rubbish too.
As the Zed range did have different bits to MG them, the 6 has nothing except for the MG badge it wears, I may speak out turn, but its true............I'll get my coat!

That old chestnut! People have said the same of the MGB, because it was a monocoque, and the Maestro, Metro and Montego, and the Zeds. Infact, of pretty much every new MG that's come out.
Some will like it, some won't. Such is life. One thing I will say is that I think it's a good thing that there are still new MGs being built. Better that than the name go the way of Austin, Morris, Rover, Riley, Wolseley, Triumph, Hillman, Singer etc...

Oi! Triumph Motorcycles are still around :P lol
As for the 6... I prefer the look of the Magnette and would only consider the Diesel, but still much to expensive for me to consider buying one!

Over the years the MG badge has appeared on lightly reworked Morris Oxfords, Morris 1100/1300, the triple M's, the zeds, and now the 3 and 6, it is as much an MG as any of the others, personally, I don't like them, but I'm not a huge fan of the ZT either, it's just an individual opinion thing.

A friend of mine works at Autocar and says it's not a bad car. They have one on long term test and Steve Cropley loves it. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's great value and drives really well. Really like them in red with black sills and wheels.
