My eldest son is finally showing some interest in learning to drive (at the age of 19). He has been mentioning various cars and various options, most of which, im not that keen on!. But he is 19 and it is up to him!.
Anyway, i was reading a magazine the other morning and saw an advert for the MG3. List price for the basic model is £8399, 20% deposit, which is just under £1700, then up to 5 years interest free credit with payments of £111.99 per month (over the full 5 years). Seemed like a decent enough deal, and my son likes the look of the car (unusual, as he is very fussy with car looks). Had a look at the car on Honest John reviews, particularly the good/bad section, which showed nothing under bad. Then, to top it off, i found out that despite having a 105bhp 1.5 litre (chain, not belt) engine, it is only group 4 insurance!.
Now i am well aware that they are Chinese and that the interior plastics are pretty low rent, But does anybody know of any real problems or reliabilty issues with them?.
Thanks
