It's been awhile since my last MG! what's your thoughts on the MG6? Good and bad points etc
And hello everyone

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.

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

I'm getting to old for that lol

EDIT your first mg is in my signature photo.

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!

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

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

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