Hi. My other car, a Pug 307 SW, has finally passsed away after 270,000 miles. So I've been tempted by the new MG GS Exec. I had a long test drive today and it seems very comfy, lots of kit etc, etc. But has anyone here got any experience with this car? I'm no MG throbber, it's just that the prices look good compared to similar spec cars.

I've not heard anything bad, which in itself, is good.

Is it just me that thinks that cars like this are just plain ugly? Ugh!

The Pug was my wife’s car. It was ugly too. The pug, I mean. 🐖

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Bruce. Personally I think that there are a lot of myopic car buyers around; are car maker pandering to customers demands or does style not matter anymore. So many cars look like poorly formed injection mouldings.

To be honest, I didn't know that these existed! Lots of competition in this sector from all the majors. And minors too. If it were me, I'd scope out the competition.

At last year's Pately Bridge MG show in North Yorkshire I was lucky enough to sit in the newer MG ZS and I was suitably impressed. It comes with a 7 year warranty and looks well screwed together . Interior looked good and well finished.

these are well screwed together cars and the drive is exceptional, the 7year warranty is a bonus, you get more kit than any other at the price, if I didn't love my ft I would have one myself.

Have to agree with Airportable. SUV'S are all the rage right now, but they all look the same. When changing my daily car recently i did look at the GS but only because it was sitting in the middle of a local shopping centre. Very impressive spec and as Airportable say's " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder " In the end i bought a Megane Coupe, which looks like an Astra and a Kia and most other coupe models. It was the spec that sold it to me in the end. If after test driving the car you are happy then go for it.

This is very true. But I cannot understand the current obsession with SUVs. They are nearly all pig ugly. Most aren't actually 4WD. Look at the Nissan Joke. Lumps and bumps sticking out all over the place. Plastic everywhere. It's massive with hardly any room inside. But they sell in their millions!

look at this youtube should help :broon:
