This is my long term ownership update and review of the MG TF. Having driven this car daily for the last 5 years now, I feel well equipped to give an honest and well rounded review of this little British sports car.
This is the first car review I have ever produced - I hope you enjoy it! I grew up in admiration of the Top Gear car review films and so it's exciting to have now created my own in that style. Let me know what you think down in the comments!

I am a proud owner of an MG F and I have the same pleasant feelings when driving this car.

Great video, Willo. Your car looks great. I have had three F's and a TF over the years and loved driving them all. Your right they put a smile on your face driving them. People underestimate them what with all the usual cliches from Clarkson and his like which is good for us owners as we can buy great cars for not to much money. The usual Head gasket comments are out of date now with most cars having had replacements MLS gaskets by now so should not be a issue any longer, anyway as you say, plenty of well respected mobiles around who can do the job for under £400 all in. I currently own a MGF Trophy 160 which I love, however I would say in my opinion that the TF design has probably aged slightly better and looks more sporty than the standard F.

Thanks Matthew, the fact you’ve had 3 over the years shows how much fun they are. If people can look beyond the stereotypes then they’ll discover an absolute gem!

Yeah you're band on there! Good little bit of British open top motoring. My 160 is quick enough on little roads, with comparable performance to my mini cooper but offers some else with smiles for very little money relatively these days. Most people will never find the limits of their supercars etc , but at least we can try!

I love my TF - even with it's sticky throttle, rattling dash and slowly spreading tin worm. Great in the spring/summer with the roof down and always gets comments from passers by.

Some clown wrote off my TF a couple of years ago when it was parked, Mrs pleaded with me to get something more sensible, so I did - but I miss the TF, such a fun car to drive.

I love my TF115. Paintwork ain't so good now, but mechanically I've kept it it in really good condition. It's such a fun car to drive. Even with a 115hp engine, it keeps up with cars with more hp but more weight quite easily. And those high revs... The sound. :) I've had some comments from passengers: "What is this, a 2 litre?" It really does feel like that when it's had a nice tune. Not a supercar, but certainly an underrated car for the driving feel.

Glad to see you back! I just picked up my tf on Friday! Its funny you said that its not a car you get for practicality or even reliability although for me its a second car. Its a car you get because its fun and puts a smile on your face! 😊 As i said those exact words to! Besides my doctor said a couple of months ago i was borderline vit d, what better cure ...so you could say i bought it for my health really! 😅 ....... Oh yeh i forgot to ask the seller if anyone knows where the bonet release is id be justly greatful? 😉

Great little cars and they do make you smile. You shouldn't have coffee in the car in the first place you should just be driving and enjoying it!!! I had one for years and as you say look after it and let it warm up first and it will probably be ok.

The UK press hammered the F and barely gave any praise on the TF… Ok they are no MX5, but they have something. The feel good factor is right up there. Sound awesome with a Daytona too 👍 I’d go as far as say they sound similar to an 80’s Fezza V8 with the right pipe. As close as any 4cyl can get.

Great review, I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into it! I bought a 2003 Trophy Blue MG TF this year and I love it! Out of curiosity, have you attended any MG Owner Club meets/runs? I'm a little intimidated as there don't appear to be many 20-something year old MG drivers out there...I could be completely wrong though!
@CarsWithWillo
@CarsWithWillo 12 днів тому
Cheers! I haven’t been to many MGOC meets or runs myself - perhaps for the same reason as you! There is a young members’ club which you might find helpful if you’re hoping to meet owners of a similar age 👍🏻

Coolant temp more important than engine oil temp? Nope.
@CarsWithWillo
@CarsWithWillo 14 днів тому
That’s not the point I was making. Obviously oil temperature is important - but I refer to the oil temp gauge on the TF not being accurate. My point really was that the coolant temperature is a significant indicator of head gasket failure and so worth keeping an eye on 👍🏻
