Default New MG

Hi everyone, I haven't been around for a while, although I haven't purchased another 75 or a ZT yet, I've got some great news!

Some of you know I work for a Ford dealer in Sussex. Except we have chosen to cease being Ford dealers, and can proudly announce we are now MG main dealers!

If anyone in the Sussex area is interested in coming to have a look (without obligation) please feel free to pop in.

I'm very impressed by them, especially the new MG ZS..

I can confirm that the new ZS is a brilliant motor. We've had ours for a couple of months, and it's getting better and better.

Went for the 1.0ltr Auto Exclusive in the Red. Giving good MPG even though it's still only done just over 1700 miles.

Yes it is absolutely brilliant! Looks great, drives great, seats are really comfortable, lovely interior with no sharp edges, well built and quiet. Even the doors close with a reassuring 'thud'. 7 years warranty too

I had been using a new Ford Ecosport for 6 months, and in my opinion the new MG ZS is better...

MG really need to sort the MG3 out, a 1.5 for a supermini is a hard sell

Looks nice, but also looks like a million other SUV's. I think MGs should be sporty. Maybe that's just me.

Cheers,
Glenn

I agree but I honesty think even if MG-R as we knew it was still around today we would still be seeing the same style of car leaving Longbridge. The market has changed and these SUV’s are the type of cars Joe Public want now and MG-R would of had to follow the trend to compete.
