Used Rover MGF

Recently unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the Rover MGF is actually the first ever all-new MG developed and released since the MGB, which was released all the way back in 1962. In essence, the Rover MGF is a modern sportster that boasts of the latest when it comes to auto technology. A small 2-seater sports car styled by the in-house design team of Rover, the MGF comes with a mid-engined rear drive layout. Released to deal with the MX-5 from Mazda, both models are actually similar in size, with the MGF getting more attention because of its extremely appealing shape. The engineers and people behind the MGF even dub it as a candid camera car – you just cannot put your finger as to where the engine is located. This is largely attributed to its long and high bonnet, which is significantly longer and higher than that of other mid-engined cars. Still, in spite this booming feature, the MGF manages to remain a tad shorter than front-engined cars. This adds to the appeal of the MGF across all market segments. This mid-engined layout is actually a first attempt of used Rover in one of their production cars. Moreover, its unique VVC, or Variable Valve Control, engine is also a first in the industry. Apart from that, the MGF also comes with Hydragas suspension that has been finely honed and electric power steering that has been made more sensitive to speed. With its roof down, the MGF easily catches the eye of both the driver and the passenger. But even when the hood is up and neatly fitted, the MGF still has a commanding appearance. It is a bit high-waisted with its front arches cutting very well right into the body at its front end. Its mid-engined layout gives the car a higher rear end. There might be a problem with visibility though, particularly for shorter drivers. Its bonnet disappears quite rapidly behind the dashboard that is positioned relatively higher than the usual sports car. This is aptly compensated by the driving position of the car, which is quite high by default. With the MGF being small in size, it is hard to expect much in terms of equipment. Still, Rover manages to do this well. Its boot space can even hold two golf bags, for starters. You also get central locking and electric windows as standard features, along with a stereo player that still gives booming music with the top down. Optional features include air conditioning and a 6-CD autochanger.
