I've had one of these cars for about 7 months, really enjoy the drive. I agree with his honest assessment of the car, don't be put off by it being Chinese. Consider this for your next car.
I have the pre facelift and drove one of these when my car was being serviced. They are a big improvement in terms of refinement over the original model but still retain the fun factor. I was impressed. I plan to keep my current car for a while yet as it’s been 100 percent reliable but will definitely consider another MG3
Wonderful video, Mr Bill, even better than the last one! Glad you enjoyed driving the MG3.
Thank you Joseph, i've had a bit of practice at the reviews off screen since the last video!
@@FuelPower , it's clearly paid off, sir!
I have the same car. Negatives, low gears are a little whiney, bit jumpy when cold, no climate control, no Android auto, no outside temp control other than on trip. Positives, very comfortable, not slow, albeit not fast, reasonably economical, refined engine, very spacious for a small car, price, 7 year warranty. Overall, very satisfied
Yes unfortunately all cars have their shortcomings but when you consider the price you pay for something like this, some of the negatives can be overlooked. That said as an Android phone user...the lack of Android Auto would bug me but the Climate Control wouldn't bother me personally too much as it has AC in this spec. It seems that the positives you've listed outweigh the negatives and i'm glad you like your MG3. Overall, all things considered, I think they're good value for money!
Really enjoyed my own test drive of the MG 3 when I considered replacing my MG ZR. I may pick up one at some point.
They are good fun cars. The handling is very direct on them and these latest ones are loaded with technology. I can see the appeal behind them. I think the ZR would be better for your autosoloing though!
I have a a Scottish Silver MG3. In Australia, mine has tartan seats to match the dashboard trim, and is automatic. Have had it nearly two years and really like it. Previous car was a Kia Cerato.
Oh, that is interesting!
Thanks I just bought the exact same car today in blue 😊 can’t wait !
Blue would be my colour of choice too. Great little cars and very fun to drive! I'm sure you'll have many happy motoring miles with your MG3!
Here in Australia the MG3 is only available with a four speed automatic.
Good review, I'm currently waiting for mine which should be here next week.
Thank you and enjoy your new car! What colour did you go for? 😁
@@FuelPower silver or else it was waiting until December
Nice Review Jake.
Well done.
Thank you very much Mark!
Can't wait mine coming this week
No fuel gauge? And no centre armrest is a bummer..great to see Joseph Lloyd though.
It has a fuel gauge.
It definitely has a fuel gauge... it's on the right display bottom right
I was surprised to see the manual transmission in your car. My wife just bought one here in Australia and they only come in auto…no manual option
Yes 4 speed auto. Behind the times.
Great video, I quite like these MGs!
Me too! I think they look really good as well as having lots of tech on board.
Just had an MG3 exclusive nav on hire.
Here are the pros and cons of this car.
Pros....
Looks okay
Fairly roomy
Decent sized boot
Well equipped
Decent economy
Reasonable acceleration from standstill
Acceptability quiet on the move.
Decent warranty
Cons....
Woefully slow in gear acceleration
Narrow door mirrors
Sat Nav a bit hit and miss
Low beam useless at nighttime.
Ineffective rear parking sensors.
Had been looking at this model as a possible replacement for my wife's 2017 Hyundai i20, I could put up with the other issues but just couldn't live with the poor low beam as driving round strange Hertfordshire country roads at night was a bit of an ordeal to say the least.
That is a very comprehensive pros and cons list! Shame it can't do what you want it to, but hopefully you find something you love soon!
I'm looking to buy one but was wondering about the average MPG. My car currently gets 54 MPG.
It's hard to answer this from personal experience as I only had the car for about 2hrs to review it however from friends who have 2nd gen MG3s, they report in the region of 46-48mpg as an average over motorways and A roads.
😊 thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Does it last more than 10 years?
Despite being pretty good, we aren’t quite able to see into the future just yet but let’s hope so!
Picanto and i10 are not rivals of this car. Same size as the iwp and the Rio
Fair comment and I actually agree with the Picanto and i10 not directly being rivals on size. The thing with the MG3 is that it does slot in closer to the price of the Picanto and i10 moreso than the Rio. A lot of potential buyers look at cost and specs and what they get for their money over outright size. A 7 year warranty, 5 seats and the practicality of the 3 for around the price of a Picanto is not really something that can be ignored. It's not the easiest car to find direct and definitive rivals due to these things. The closest and easily identifiable rival of this would be the Dacia Sandero on price and size.
Can you turn up your sound, hard to hear you
Nothing we can do after the video has been uploaded I am afraid, but we have since updated some of our equipment, so you shouldn't have any more problems with being able to hear us now
is the a car from britan?
No, made in China.
@@anthonybartolohtc no, MG is British and looks it.
@@6fejmk The MG brand is now owned by the Chinese company SAIC
@@RiksVids still British
The cars themselves are made in China, but the brand is still very much a British brand
how about the spare parts
Around 37.9mpg when paired with the 6-speed manual. Automatic will be slightly less than that.
And so it begins....., the demise of the European car industry. China is taking a leaf out of the Japanese motorbike industry, start small and cheap, establish a good reputation, and dealerships, then start going upmarket. Some manufacturers like Citreon are coming out of the small town car market, I really think this is a serious mistake. Before long it will be producing family size cars that European car manufacturers will not be able to compete with on price.
MG already had a Focus size (class) car, but discontinued it a few years ago to concentrate on SUV's which they now have several of in the UK, including Hybrid and EV versions. They also have an all electric estate car called the MG5
I am sorry this is how you feel, however our channel just shows what is out there at the moment to give everyone an idea with the hope they find something they like!
When it comes to India
Not sure I’m afraid!
Had one not very good sorry
That's okay, you're allowed to share your view on it 🙂
