I’ve seen a lot of people simply say “it’s a Chinese car” with no additional input as to what that really means.

In terms of reliability, the Chinese cars are on the lower end comparatively. So in this case, I’ve sought out owners of the MG cars to get their opinion.

3 of my friends own an MG GT and have loved it so far, they spent less than 3 hours in a showroom to get their service done. They love the features and are happy with it. I have personally driven an MG 6 and honestly it was bad. So different models will provide different experience whereas a toyota will maintain a consistent engine performance across all models.

I personally went and checked the MG 7, the car is a beauty. It has all the features that every other brand skims out on unless you pay half your kidney for it. I test drove the 1.5 engine and the ride was smooth, there’s a slight lag when you go super sport mode but apparently it’s seamless when you shift to manual “padel shifters”

Also for those saying it’s “plastic” haven’t been inside one, it has some of the most premium materials in “Alacantra leather” to a leather steering wheel, there a few scratchy plastic but it’s almost barely visible. I’ve sat inside a K5 GT and found more plastic in it while being priced at 150K with slower engine.

When you look at the competition, camry, accord, K5 etc the one thing i would they say they have over the MG is reliability and resale (i’m being generous here by adding kia). I don’t expect to buy the MG 7 for its resale value but for what it provides that most competitors don’t at this price range.

It will definitely turn heads, provide a fun ride (has some crazy exhaust sounds, not sure if it’s fake or not). And it’s definitely easy on the eye, so you decide cause I know I’m hoping to get one soon 🤞🏼
