MG Cars (Morris Garage) - Worth Considering?

[corbon44]

Anyone have the chance to experience the current crop of MGs being sold locally, and would they be worth considering?

At 795T, the MG5 is in the range of the Yaris/Jazz/Accent and personally, looks like an attractive alternative to these staples. I understand it's no longer the famed British mark of old as it is now owned by Shanghai Auto (SAIC), but the design still has that Euro vibe to it.

Do you guys think it's worth a trip to EDSA to check it out (I'm based outside the Metro) or should I just stick with the familiar?



P.S. Posted this in the Other Car Brands section because I'm not sure if it's a Chinese or European marque...

Worth looking at? No harm in looking.

Worth buying? Hard to say. No common technology with local Japanese or European cars... not even the Hondas older MG econo-cars were based off of... so parts will have to come from the dealership, and it is unknown if they have enough parts for everything.

Having talked to the guys there, I know they carry the regular spares and that they've already sourced stuff like clutches (even for the automated manual transmission MG3), and prices are supposedly competitive, but I don't know what the wait time is for supplies.

Thanks Niky - I was hoping there would be some common parts, considering SAIC has JVs with VW and GM. Any chance of a review?

Already did one in the mag for the MG3. Will see about getting the MG6 or other variants for future reviews.

Naimpress ako sa zs. Mas mura sa ecosport pero hamak na mas malaki ang space. Hindi tinipid ang features. Ganda ng interior. Nimble. Di lang gaano kalakas engine. Pero di naman kasing supot ng rush

Im looking at this brand closely as they just started opening in Iloilo. What i heard from friends who got one is its bang for the buck. I like its classic straight forward design but i still need to see it up close. It could be a worthy replacement to my sedan in 2 years time.

Car itself is fairly new and not yet “proven”

Service centers are shared with other companies.

The first few owners of MG’s here will be like Guinea Pigs. If you want to become one then you can consider. [emoji16]

If this is priced below ₱1.5M it will become the bargain of the year.

TCCI should think volume over profit. ;)

I suggest you download the brochure online. The differences are there.
