The whatcar reader review was hardly amazing, they expect the car to have 'perfect' quality, I do not expect perfection, especially from a new car company, that one guy trying to compare it to a VW was an idiot, MG are not trying to rival VW, they are trying to rival Alfa Romeo and Mazda etc in my opinion.

The first two are Jaguar drivers, then a Golf GTI driver, an MG RV8 driver and finally a Honda Accord driver.

Jaguars cost twice as much as the MG6 and the MG RV8 cost £26,500 back in 1993 so it's not surprising if the MG6 didn't quite match their standards. I would think that Golf and Accord drivers would choose their cars for different reasons than an MG driver would.

Why no Ford Focus driver?

At least one of them mentioned the MG ZT, which must have been from over 15 years ago if the start of the video is to be believed!

Lol that guy with the X-Type makes me laugh, he comments on quality yet he owns a Ford Mondeo that has had a Jaguar badge nailed on it and the quality is rubbish in the X-type.
