2002 MG TF review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap summer fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, but it's early days.
General comments?
Only had the car for 500 miles... bought it for a bit of summer fun as nothing else for the same money was as interesting.
Has full service history with the all important receipt for head gasket (£1750)!!
It's a nice car with striking looks and smart interior.
Does feel like a bit of a toy though compared to Mazda MX-5, which I think is more driver focused (couldn't buy an MX-5 as I'm male and feel they are just too girlie).
Fuel economy is reasonable with 30-35 mg, dependent on how you drive it.
Handling is OK, but you can find the limit rather too quickly.
Will post more once I've actually done some miles.
