2001 MG F Trophy 160 review from UK and Ireland
"Great fun, would buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New front light bulb, 2 new tyres, rear exhaust. Standard stuff for an 8 year old car, nothing else.
General comments?
This version of MGF is loads of fun. It has grip and performance.
Don't let other people's bad experiences put you off, they tend not to take into account things like previous owners who have probably abused the car and not looked after it, and the age of it.
They are a much better looking car than the MX5. They're a true British mid engined sports car. The build quality on an MX5 may well be that bit better, but for the price difference I didn't find it warrants it, and the money you save, you will have to hand if you need to buy anything for your car.
Get in a Trophy 160 or TF160 and have a go yourself. Don't be put off by people ranting, get out there, have a go and enjoy yourself.
