Sonny is remember that thread as it was a car I was looking at. I don’t think it was trolling tbh. The internet is full of people complaining about the gearbox problems.
Mg owners give it 35% in a reliability poll, with the 1st being electrical problems and 2nd the gearbox.
That would not put me off tbh as there’s a chance I may not encounter these problems, and if I did I would just hand it back and would not put up with long off road periods as they try to fix it.
Tbh the lack of tinted windows put me off more than the gearbox problems lol
