Shit, aren't they?
I wrote mine off because it got a puncture. The tyre wall split. A new tyre would have cost more than the car was worth, so I got rid of it.

Although my original Saloon (with the ludicrous spoiler) kept falling apart I loved it so much I bought a brand new hatchback version (slightly less boy racer looking) for 13k... About 3 weeks before MG went bust.
Fortunately in the following 4 years I had Zero problems with it whatsoever.. apart from when I stuffed it into the back of some fucker who thought it would be a good idea to stop on the exit of a roundabout to let some van out from a sideroad.
Took 3 months to source a replacement bonnet.
That 3 months made me decide to replace it but Mercedes gave me about 3k part ex for it after 4 years and I wished I'd have kept it a few more years tbh.

but man was it noisy inside. Driving on a motorway was ridiculous.
Actually the biggest problem was the insurance. It was just a crappy rover with a bodykit, but the premiums got over £600/year. That's for a 40+ driver with no points, claims accidents or any other load factor.

The rest was driving on twisty A & B roads which was a hoot with that lovely V6.
I've got a 230bhp BMW now and I'd swap it for the MG anyday.
