The model
Read full MG3 reviewA keenly priced small car, but the bumpy ride, wheezy engine and disappointing safety rating all count against it. It's hard to recommend.
The trim
See full equipmentThis entry-level trim gets you alloy wheels, air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, electric windows all round and an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system. Given the MG 3's budget-focused nature, it's the one to go for.
The engine
See full engine specsThe only engine option isn’t turbocharged, so it feels a bit gutless and asthmatic at low revs. On quicker roads, it’s easier to make use of the engine’s maximum grunt, which arrives at a 4500rpm – but once you’re that high up the rev range, be prepared for quite a lot of vibration and harshness.
