The MG 2.0i. With all-body colour coachwork. Gleaming 15in. alloy wheels. Front and rear spoilers. It looks powerful, fast, agile. And it is.
Take the driver's seat. Sports front seats - with sculpted velvet facings - give you snug, wrap-around comfort.
There are all the refinements you'd expect from MG. The convenience of central locking. Cool tinted glass. And a high quality four-speaker music system.
Now start up that powerful 2.0 litre 115 PS fuel-injected engine. Enjoy the way the five-speed sports gearbox moves slickly through the gate. Move smoothly away and appreciate the way the engine's flexible torque output gives you a muscular response even at low road speeds.
More vigorous use of the throttle pedal, and the MG's power starts to bite. Giving you acceleration from 30-50 mph in fourth in just 6.8 seconds. Sprinting power that outclasses some far more expensive competitors. Racing from 0-60 mph in only 8.6 seconds; and on to a top speed of 113 mph where the law allows. Exhilarating, to say the least.
But it's not just in outright high performance that the MG's class shows. You'll also appreciate the polished way it handles itself on the curves. The responsive feel of the steering. The assurance, in short, of a full blooded sports hatchback. So you can permit yourself to enjoy all the style which is yours when you fly the MG colours.
Because this is one sports hatchback which more than lives up to its looks.
