"A nice looking car, a mechanical bag of crap"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My head gasket blew at 45,000 miles.

SRS airbag system is continually faulty.

Head and block reported as porous, and needs to be replaced.

General comments?

This is the worst car I have ever owned. I would recommend that you avoid the MGF like the plague. Buy an MX5 if you want a soft top car.

I agree buy an MX 5. Rover dealer gave me that advice too!

Cooling problems and head gasket failures can be a nightmare. The MGF has everything I want from a car - apart from reliability.

Clutch is quite light, similar to a Honda Civic (the F has a Honda gearbox funny enough), steering is about right, not too light and not too heavy.
