They drive very, very well. The one thing that impressed me right from when I did the press launch back in 2011 was the chassis.

Dynamically it's very good - credit to Andy Kitson and the team in Birmingham (the same people who did the ZS' suspension) it's comfortable but also great over a B-road. You can't say they're bad to drive.

It's not perfect though - the clutch is far too light and I didn't really like the gearbox.

The diesel, on the other hand, is brilliant. Superb gearbox and a nice fat torque band. It feels really rather sporty - it's a cracking motor.

The insides a bit bland, but its a car with an awful lot to offer. Would I buy a petrol? Probably not. A diesel? In a heartbeat. You can read my week with the MG6 diesel in the current MG Enthusiast by the way

I dont get this hate for the MG6, I love the car, even if I did break the interior on one of the very first at Goodwood.
having driven one I think its a good car and if in TSE spec a lot of car for the money, In fact I may look at buying one soon, I have seen a TSE in white I like the look of alot, where else can I buy a car that size with all the goodies, not that old and with less than 10k on the clock? for under 8k?
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?

BMWs are hugely overated for what they are, they still go wrong as often if not more than any other brand of car, that car, that still has fairly high mileage, if its not had brakes done will likely all need done soon, parts arent cheap and lets not forget its out of warranty now at 4 years old.

Some people don't like the 6, it's as simple as that, back in the 80's the triple M MG's were sneered at by the dyed in the wool MG enthusiasts but are now accepted as bona fide MG's.

Nothing to do with the badge on it, could have a McLaren or Ferrari badge on it, wouldn't make it a nice looking car in my eyes. Saw one on the road not long after they were released and just thought it was so boring.

I still find that a lot of folks don't accept the Triple M's as MG's but do include the Zeds.

Really, I thought all that nonsense with the triple M's not being proper MG's was in the past, obviously some prejudices die hard.
