I've been in both the 5 and the MG (though not personally driven the MG) and I prefer the 5. It's just nicer inside, feels better made.

I agree Tom not sure they make coilovers for them though & the engine position makes it a pig to work on I'd also lean towards an mx5 as they are alot easier to work on engine wise, parts are cheaper and i know them inside and out having broken a few for bits front engine rwd is the way forward for a fun daily/ summer toy she's got an evo for the track and a mini Edited by WRLondon on 15th Aug, 2013.

well the wife had a mk2 mx5 for just over 5 years; cost me nothing to run in that time other than consumables and never let us down. Wasn't the quickest thing on the planet (1.8iS) but we had a couple of good touring holidays in Europe with it.

Coilovers for an mgf is a tf subframe conversion, same used for the metros for front coilovers, I have an mgf subframe in my metro! Personally I like the mk2 mx5 over the mk1 and the mgf is a heap of poo only good for being an engine and seat doner. Drives

It just depends on if she likes driving on hot days or warping the cylinder head as it overheats in traffic |
