MG3 - 2022 - Asking for a Friend.

[john_smith]

A friend of my wife is looking for a new car.

Requirements:

Pretty
Pretty Colour
Reliable hassle free motoring.
5 door hatch, room for a failmy of 4.
>1.4cc
Manual, Petrol
£10k budget

A quick autotrader search with a filter of: 10k, 2022 onwards. < 15k miles threw up the MG3. There's a yellow one that ticks all the boxes.

They any good? reviews suggest very popular in Australia.

Any alternatives that are "better" Historically she's liked a Corsa.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The 22 and 15k was an opening search to see what was available. The MG3 has 7 years warranty so would have 5 left.

The Yaris might be a little bit small, but that's coming up on the search. The Jazz might be out of reach budget wise unless we go older.

Thank you.

Thank you. Another one in the mix.

She test drove one (mg3) yesterday. Said it was gutless despite being faster (just) than her 2010 fiesta that it's replacing.

She then drove a 2014 1.4 TSI golf and proclaimed it the best thing ever. It's up for £10grand and she'll probably end up buying it.

Some people can't be helped.

Thanks.
