“The MG 3 handles better than you might expect from a car of this price, and it’s had some decent updates to the interior. But the old 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine lacks the necessary puff.”

“The MG 3 is a very affordable supermini; it costs several thousand pounds less than some of its rivals. But it lacks the necessary puff, especially when compared with the perky engines of its rivals.”

“While there are certain things to like about the new MG3, such as its competitive pricing, extensive warranty and the sheer amount of metal you get for your money, it remains a disappointing package.”

“The MG 3 is not an unpleasant car to drive but it needs some proper old-school MG tuning and a lot more power to get some attention.”

“It may be budget on price, but the MG 3 certainly has enough in its armour to be a worth supermini contender. As far as affordable runabouts go it’s a hard car to beat.”

“The MG3 is a small city car that’s cheap to buy and relatively roomy but it isn’t as nice to drive as alternatives and lacks some common safety kit.”

“The MG3 is a perfectly enjoyable, if not very spirited, car to drive – smooth, at ease on faster roads, with positive steering and is well insulated against road and engine noise. The dash, facia and seats aren’t the most upmarket around but then you wouldn’t expect luxury fittings anyway.”

“The MG 3 stands out because of its value for money. You get a lot of bang for your buck as they say. It’s also quite a pretty car in its latest guise, and keen drivers will be surprised by how well it handles. It’s a pity the engine is so weak and thirsty, though, and it has increasingly started to feel its age in key areas.”

“The MG3 sits at the affordable end of the small hatch market, but it doesn’t feel like a cheap product. Instead, it’s one of the most underrated small cars on the market, even if it’s beginning to show its age.”

“The MG 3 offers a decent drive and roomy interior at a low price, but but the interior feels cheap, the engine is thirsty and ride quality is poor.”

“MG is finally carving out a legitimate slot in the market. Going up against brands such as Dacia and SsangYong, it’s differentiating itself by placing emphasis on attractive design, which pushes it more towards young drivers than elderly potterers destined for the care home.”

“The MG 3 is keenly priced, but a bumpy ride, wheezy engine and disappointing safety rating all count against it.”
