I'd certainly consider one at a knockdown price, wouldnt be my first choice if spending £17,000 + on a new car

I must admit it is growing on me too! A diesel saloon, provided the diesel engine is good, should be a very good car! When they are a couple of years old, will be good value too.

can't say i'm overly keen, and if it was'nt for the badge i doubt it would even get a 2nd glance.
it looks like one of many others out there, boring and bland.

Now that's a good buy- I can't wait untl the ex avis cars come up for sale.

Wow.....At that price, i think i would have one and providing reliability is proven (no reason why it should'nt be) it will be a cracking used buy......

One like this would suit me.............

My Dad and I went for a test drive in one a couple of weeks ago. It is certainly a more common design than the 75 was, but then that's the point I guess.

It was nice to drive, handled well, and a comfortable interior. Just the engine in my opinion that let it down.

The one above looks smart. Really needs something special engine wise though.

Wonder if there considering revamping the 2.5 for this car?

stux99 · 3rd July 2011, 21:03

2.5 V6, can be done,plenty room

The 1.8T engine is interesting. In a few years there should be some uprated spares to help keep our 75 1.8s on the road.

nope , china and mg say it won't be coming. after the diesel next year the car will get a 2.0 turbo petrol and facelift in 2013 and the price will go up about £3k so that the mg5 can fit in the range between it and the small mg3
