Anyone had any experience with these? They seem a decent car for the money and seem quite well specced.
Was at an auction last night and saw one go for £1800 with FSH, 18000 miles and it was in mint condition.
Got me thinking about a new car once i start the new job

i was thinking this too, they are a bargain.
a lad near me has one, seems reliable, he uses it a lot, and its never broken as far as i can tell

The other car im looking at is a vectra GSi. The only prblem is they all seem to be 90000+ miles.
How reliable are the engines on these?

agree later one looks 100 times better - it has the wing vents of the big MG X Power and a much more aggressive stance - young lad in my village has just bought a gun-metal grey one; I hate to say it but it looks and sounds stunning; seems fairly responsive as well - but thats just judging on it pulling out of junctions (especially the one infront of work roughly 30 times a day; he must love the car! )
