            Lovely, Norman! I remember that car being parked on the front of the forecourt at the roadside. The Burnt Orange one I was debating when choosing between that and my Union Blue one was VX12 FUH. Who dealt with you at the dealers?

              Hi steve, it was Pam who dealt with us ,she is very keen on the cars I found, it is growing on me all the time . I can only presume that ***** Clarkeson has not been in one, the interior is good quality and the engine quiet.By the way it is perfectly safe for you to visit our part of Lancashire,lol.

                    That is smart! Really like the colour. I agree about them growing on you. I wasn't keen on the 6 at launch, instead preferring to keep my ZTT, but like a lot of cars, they tend to grow on you. In comparison, as much as I like them, the ZT/ZTT are pretty dated. I think the shape of the 6 in GT or Magnette form is spot on and in my view one of the best looking and sporty family saloons you can buy and definitely the best bargain out there!

                      All the brand new Motorpoint MG6 cars are now sold! Both SE and TSE. I wonder if we'll see any more brand new at those prices? They still have a lot of used MG6 bargains but only one Magnette last time I looked. An SE for less than £8K

                          So far so good. I've covered just over 1800 miles and apart from the common issue of the stability control warning message coming on and off, notchy gear lever when cold and slight squeak from steering when manouvring, all is great. The steering noise sounds like rubber mounts in the steering mechanism or suspension and seems to disappear when warm. You're right, the drive is fantastic and I'm still loving it!
