Advantages: Good fuel economy, excellent standard soundsystem
Disadvantages: poor craftsmanship, known electrical issues

...the MG TF is a very stylish range. varied engine options and the ability to aquire models with full sports kits at a reasonable price. As it stands in the line up of other 2 door sports cars, it will not hold first place. With poor electrical system and shoddy interior this car will not be at the top of the range. However, it is a fast car, spacious cockpit with masses of leg room, the drivers seat is very low and is extremely comfortable on long journeys. The head room however is limited for the taller individual. A standard clip roof is easy and light to move on and off, the seals on my model do not sit flush and in very heavy rain leaks a very little. Under the bonet is enough space for a spare tyre, access to the bonet is done through the leaver in the boot. The boot has enough space for a few shopping bags but not a suitcase... Read review

Advantages: Fun, Fun, Fun
Disadvantages: Never!

...working that Saturday. A quick blat round a couple of roundabouts and I WAS HOOKED!!! 'Classic' British Racing Green with Fawn Leather and Alcantara seats and the deposit was paid!! This is the MG TF 135 (136bhp) model with ABS. As a pure driving experience it has surpassed the MGF in handling, refinement and looks. Although the engine is a little flat below 3,500 - 4,000 there is enough torque to push you along at a reasonable rate. Take the engine up into the power band and that twin cam K series engine comes to life. The exhaust note changes from a hum to a growel. Snarling at every other 'foreign' pretend roadster!! Unlike the previous op I have not managed to get the back to step out in the dry. I am clearly not trying hard enough!! I have also found that in the wet, provided you do not get too carried away the car rides beautifully... Read review

Advantages: Price, legroom, Rover Warrenty & looks
Disadvantages: Paint chips, Inside the bonnet, standard speakers.

...I purchased my second hand MGTF 2 months ago so I am passed the point of the "first month" I love everything about it thoughts. They are nice good cheap sports cars and 4 years ago I owned a MGF so I have returned to MG ownership. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall large(ish) built man & driving this car being tall causes no problems. There is good leg room but your left knee can catch the gear stick and it takes a bit of getting used to. In my opinion buy the 1.6 engine size, 115 model. It is the cheapest and the difference between the 1.6 & the 1.8 is minimal, especially on todays roads. The 115 model looks the same as all the others but a few basic toys are worth asking for when you buy. I had central locking put on for free which does not come in the basic package. Also the 115 does not have the speakers behind the seats and no interior... Read review

Advantages: Great first car, british made
Disadvantages: None at the mo

...Sorry after someone pointed out i have enter this car under the wrong model. The car isn't the MG Roadster it's the New model called the MG TF 160 (it's not listed yet)...apologies After recently buying MG TF 160 in silver for my daughter I thought it was a perfect first car and she was loved it too. The car has had a few remodels in its time, but has managed not to look like last nights warmed up pizza. In my view this is a very cheap sports car, and perfect for a first car. Considering, my daughter has asked me for a Lotus, for her 18th!! Well having driven it a few times, it's a great little car the handling is great and it feel like your driving rather than just flicking a switch. It's sporty through out, right down to the point where you feel your sat on the road! The engine can me a bit unresponsive at times... Read review

Advantages: Handsome looks, sweet engines, relatively practical
Disadvantages: Poorly built, outdated switchgear, precarious purchase

...I bought a new '05 TF 135 in April, exactly one week before MGR went bust. I actually consider myself lucky that I got one of the last TFs made, as this has been my dream car for ages. The new '05 model year has a hugely improved suspension with a glass rear window and lots of extras as standard. It looks beautiful, and with the Grenadine and Alacantara interior it looks as stylish on the inside as it does on the outside. The optional (and good-value) chrome pack also complements the car's classy appearance. Handling seems a little less sharp than the 02MY but is still very balanced with just a touch of oversteer at speeds. The new standard-fit Continental tyres and revised spring rates mean that the car handles much more safely in the wet than previous TFs or Fs ever did. Fuel economy is averaging out at 35MPG on a mixture of urban... Read review

Advantages: Easy Installation, Simple to understand, Effective
Disadvantages: Price, Tacky After Market Look when installed

.... If the temperature falls below 0 degrees, the Red LED illuminates steadily. It warns you at 2 degrees and not 0 degrees because when the air reaches this temperature, the ground temperature will be almost zero as there is always a difference between ground and air temperature. The LED's are not too bright so dont distract the driver whilst driving and are fairly easy to see inside their mounting pod. This item is promoted as an accesory for the MG TF, ZR, ZS and Rover 25, 45, Streetwise. However it could be fitted into any make of car, as it only requires a 12 volt feed and an earth point, not specific MG Rover Wiring / Loom insertions. The installation can be carried out by a dealer for a small charge, or it can be installed yourself (which is what i did!). The unit comes in three main parts - the metal tempeature sensor which is tie strapped onto... Read review

Advantages: Tastes gorgeous !
Disadvantages: Fridge pickers wear bigger knickers !

..., but nothing bad, the orange flavour does linger for a bit, but it is far from unpleasant. There is no orange smell from the pot, just the usual smell of yogurt, but the taste makes up for it !

Advantages: tastes delicious
Disadvantages: only limited edition flavour

...of custard. It was not a very strong taste of custard, but just enough to make it nice without being sickly. I could not imagine drinking runny custard, but this was not like the custard you would put on your dessert because it seemed more creamy and milky. I would buy this flavour again, as it was delicious, my daughter enjoyed it too. Frijj milkshake is also available in Strawberry, Chocolate and Banana, but I only like the Banana flavour. The ingredients for Custard flavour Frijj milkshake are: - Skimmed Milk (69%) Whole Milk (16%) Reconstituted Skimmed Milk Powder Sugar Modified Maize Starch Skimmed Milk Powder Flavouring Stabilisers (Carrageenan, Guar Gum) Colour (Beta Carotene) Nutritional Information: - Per 100ml Energy 276kj/69kcal Protein 3.4g Carbohydrate 11.0g Fat 0.8g Calcium 125mg More information can be found at www...

Advantages: Great car to drive
Disadvantages: Poor build quality

...name it, I test drove it but in the end I decided to buy an MG TF after a 40 minute road test. This was going to be my first sports car and I wanted it to be British and I also decided to get one that was green - British Racing Green. I bought it from a dealership called Quicks in Coventry and right from the negotiating stage I found I couldn't get what I wanted. They wouldn't increase the part exchange allowance. They wouldn't decrease the price of the car. They wouldn't upgrade the cassette player to a CD player without charging extra, they wouldn't even throw in a set of mats. I was actually rather impressed by this attitude; this 'we are above haggling' attitude. At the time I felt like I was buying a car from a prestige garage who only wanted to sell the car to the 'right person'. The right person being one with loads of cash... Read review
