Jason Barlow tests the uprated MGF special edition Trophy160 before the launch of the new MG Hatchback & Saloons. Taken from an early 2001 episode of the old format Top Gear
handling not impressive. Appears to understeer massively while rolling like a boat! Like it though, but prefer in the met blue which was the other Trophy colour
I had one from new back in 2001. I don’t remember it having a rock-hard ride, but the worse thing I recall, is the total lack of feedback through the steering wheel.
@@antony9621 the mgf was never designed for a 6 cylinder and just wouldn't work with one, the S2000 and Z3 are bigger cars than the MGF, and are both front engined
Thank you so much for uploading this. Awesome review.
Loved driving my MG Trophy, it's sat on the drive for 3 years wanting some tlc :(
Get on with it then, the goblins won't fix it for you, gremlins will eat it...

Whatever mgf 120, mx5 nb 140, NC 160, 206 cc 110 or 138, even slk 320,
is always great pleasure on small roads.!
.... Not only there by the way.!
I like my MGF very nice car, thank for this video

The understeering is controlable but but quite scary

Problem was oem tyre brands, and thankfully after many years of f & tf owners, they have that absolutely dialed in now.
who's here after car throttle
This was in a car throttle ep?
They bought a TF :D
@@ek8710 cool blue aswell! Has the abingdon wheels on it

BMW ruined Rover.
Hence why the S2000 is nicer and better than the z3 and the z4, even to this day
The mgf/tf is better than an equivalent age Z3
Yes bmw buy mgf and refuse to put a v6 engine cause mgf with v6 its better than bmw z3

@@YegoYTP mgf with v6 mid engine the dream car, bmw ruin this cause pigeon must buy a z3 (mgf v6 its a baby lotus exige so bye bye z3)
