MG Mgf Cars - Equipment, Safety & SecurityPicture Of MG Mgf CarsIn keeping with MG tradition there aren't too many toys in the MGF, but you do get electric windows and central locking as standard, together with a decent stereo which can still be heard with the roof down due to the MGF's low levels of wind noise and buffeting. On the options list is a six-CD autochanger and air conditioning. Also available later will be a luggage rack for the boot, ski & bike carriers, and of course MGF mudflaps.Picture Of MG Mgf CarsMG have always claimed "Safety Fast", and this is very applicable to the MGF. Rover claim that the F is amongst the stiffest...

MG Mgf Cars - MGF MechanicalsPicture Of MG Mgf CarsBy putting the engine in the middle, Rover have been able to use its tried and tested transverse engine layout, whilst retaining the ability to use rear wheel drive. This also means they are able to use an equally tried and tested gearbox (from Honda), which is the same as is fitted to the Rover 600 and hence offers a gearchange with lots of feel, but it a little imprecise.Picture Of MG Mgf CarsLike a true sportscar the MGF has fully independent suspension with double wishbones both at the front and rear. This is damped by the now well tuned Hydragas suspension system (first seen on the Allegro!)...

MG Mgf Cars - MGF MechanicalsPicture Of MG Mgf CarsHidden somewhere in the middle of the MGF is an engine. It is brand new, totally British, and also happens to be very good too since it is based on the very successful K-series engine.For the MGF, the K-series engine has been bored and stroked out to 1,796cc. This required Rover to come up with the "damp" liner, ultra-lightweight pistons, and a plastic inlet manifold. All this results in 118bhp at 5,500rpm and 121 lb/ft at 3,000rpm. Rover claim that this results in a top speed of 120mph, and a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds.Picture Of MG Mgf CarsBy the end of the year, there will be a more powerful...

MG Mgf Cars - StylingPicture Of MG Mgf CarsFor such a small car the interior space is very generous, there is a large amount of leg room and plenty of headroom even when the roof is up. Other interior features are typically Rover, which generally fit in well with the overall look of the interior of the car.Picture Of MG Mgf CarsThe mid-engined layout leads to a high rear end to the car, and the rapidly disappearing bonnet line behind the relatively high dashboard could lead to visibility problems for the shorter MGF driver. But to compensate for this the almost fixed driving position is quite high in the cars, giving the feeling that you are...

MG Mgf Cars - StylingPicture Of MG Mgf CarsNot surprisingly seeing that the last "real" MG was 30 years ago, the MGF has very few styling links with its predecessors beyond the octagon-badged grille, which is very reminiscent of the MGB. The car seems the have an impressive ability to look thoroughly modern, whilst still having a certain classical MG look.Picture Of MG Mgf CarsIt is fairly high-waisted, and though the front arches cut well into the body at the front, they do little to avoid the MGF looking slightly flat-sided. The MGF looks very pretty with the roof down, and equally so when the neat and easy fitting hood is up. There is also...
