Reviving a revered name, TF may be the latest incarnation of the decade old mid-engined sports vehicle that kick-started the revival of great interest in the MG marque.

Providing good value and visual appearance (thanks to the newest facelift) the MG-TF is really a hugely enjoyable car they are driving; the most powerful variant using its 160PS four and close-ratio manual transmission might prove a tad too raucous for all however the dedicated; the induction roar, sharp steering responses and keen brakes are tremendous fun, although not to everyone’s taste.

The 120PS variant with sequential clutchless manual transmission may be worth a look for those who desire a slightly quieter life.
