[PJF220]

Thats not true!

MG make excellent cars. The MGZR, good boot space, decent size, yet small enough for town driving, the ZS is great too, I love the ZS180 saloon, looks brilliant, sporty yet practical too, would consider it when I need a change of car style. The ZT is a great car too. The Jaguar of the Rover fleet. Then of course, there is the MGTF, sporty, topless driving, though maybe a bit girly for me. The revised shape from the original is much more masculine.

As for Rover, the 25/24 and 75 are great practical cars and cheap to buy and run. One reason I own the 200 coupe Turbo is because it is a lot of car for little cash. I paid less than £2000 for a 200bhp car that beats off Scoobies, standard cossies and is faster top end than a porsche boxter. To buy an equivilant Nissan/Subaru/Toyota etc, I'd need 2 maybe 3 times the amount I spent on my car.

MG/Rover are here to stay long term in the new and used markets.

I just wish they would sort out a better engine, that K series is a nightmare, though they have improved reliability.
