1997 MG F VVC review from UK and Ireland
"Fun, gorgeous, pokey cheap sports car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fast speed on my window wipers didn't work when I bought the car.
The right window has stopped working, window glass just fell down 1 day!
Leaks in rain or when washing, but hardly ever!
The display light on the oil indicator has never worked.
General comments?
This car is the second car I have owned. I bought a Fiesta Ghia 1.1 when I was 18. I am now 22, and bought a second hand MGF VVC 1.8i 6 months ago. I love this car. The thing that drew me to it were its looks, and the speed!
The first thing I noticed was that the petrol went down rather quickly compared to other petrol cars. But I have since discovered that driving sensibly, the fuel is fine... Drive like a nutter, the fuel's gonna go!
It hardly ever leaks, corners amazingly, and is quite pokey; when you put your foot down, you're gone!!!
I think I will keep this car for a few years, or for as long as I can. It has given me no major problems so far, so who am I to say it's unreliable!!! People who drive like idiots, should know that their car is going to break. Have fun, but be careful, you'll be fine!!!
Any opinions, below please :)
