Our local MG dealer does seem to be having some success selling them. I wouldn’t buy one new due to the high depreciation but as a used buy in a few years they’ll make an excellent choice I think. Mechanically simple and quite practical plus it’s likely most will have full dealer histories to retain that excellent 7yr warranty.

They are not depreciating any more than anything else..

Remember, I got mine in a Daft Black Friday sale.. £1000 off that day.....so was a good (but exceptional deal)

For SLO, look at the price of an MG GS on Autotrader, for cars that were £14995 otr,,,,, 4 years old now some of them

As for mine, I have had a peek at a HS last week, and subject to price, It could well be on my shopping list. I also had a drive in an MG RX5 last week. Rough and ready, but cheap as chips... If I lived in the middle east would certainly consider it>>>>

If I remember right, ORB, you had a couple of Chevrolets,

Epica, then Cruze then the Kia Rio then Venga, and now the ZS,,,,)

It seems to make a lot of sense to look for a make / model that isn't highly regarded by the motoring press, but suits you; buy it nearly-new and save thousands; and then run it happily for a few years.

That is exactly what i have done, and have few complaints,

All of them have happily transported dogs and family safely and economically around UK and Europe.

Antwerp next week with the ZS.. School reunion... cousin Paulus... and steak Belgian fries, mixed salad and a few beers. Cousin is 300 metres from hotel. no driving and car registered for Antwerp ULEZ. (free, but frightening if not registered!!) 350 euros fine, ANPR....
