MG MGF Cars
The MG MGF is a sleek and sporty two-seater convertible that packs quite the punch under the hood. It was produced between 1995 and 2002, with over 77,000 units made worldwide. The MGF was never sold new in Australia but many examples have been imported since.
One of the biggest advantages of the MGF is its lightweight construction, thanks to an all-aluminum body shell. This makes for excellent handling on twisty roads and precise steering, while also helping fuel economy. Plus, with its front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, it delivers a thrilling driving experience.
The MGF comes with a choice of two engines - a 1.8-liter or a more powerful VVC (variable valve control) version that offers even better performance. The latter provides brisk acceleration and can take you from zero to 100km/h in just 7 seconds.
Inside the cabin, the MGF has a comfortable and stylish interior with plenty of features such as power windows, air conditioning and optional leather upholstery. Although this is no modern vehicle and will lack the technology expected by many Australian drivers.
Safety features include driver airbags, side-impact protection beams, seat belt pre-tensioners and roll bars located behind each seat to provide added security.
For Australian driving conditions particularly in cities where parking space can be tight, its small size comes in handy for fitting into cramped spots without sacrificing on style or comfortability.
In summary, while no longer being produced it’s easy to see why enthusiasts still favour these cars: lightweight construction coupled with agile handling make for an exhilarating ride; yet despite their diminutive size they come packed with comfort features. Drivers in Australia should have fun discovering the joy of driving one whether imported or from their new counterparts.
