The new MGTF was published in 2001, replacing the MGF is a line producer. New car finally live the hypocrisy of sport and compete now in a very effective image conscious, mostly small Japanese convertible, which is the Toyota MR2 and the Mazda MX5. Aesthetically, the front of the car has changed considerably and become the front bumper grille and headlights, side access has been improved and the rear spoiler is lower - a brand new car looks much more aggressive than its predecessor.

Point greatly increases drivers 'view, the new car rides a little' less - to prove all the mechanical changes lurking under the skin. The body is now much stiffer (20% MG), following a huge bucket shake reduction. The suspension has been redesigned, with coil springs replaces the suspension may be behind the tree Hydragas Multi-Link and the steering is now faster transmission. All these changes have moved the car to drive and manage, and is no longer a wolf in sheep's clothing.
On the down side, the new car will probably appeal to fewer buyers, the driving experience is secondary to a ride through the city - then you're sure to feel every bump and pot hole. There are four engine options, 115bhp, 120bhp, 135bhp and 160bhp (the latter administered by a range of 0-60 in less than seven seconds and a top speed of 137 km / h), all engines produce excellent engine note when revved hard.

Car Interior is ready and the requirements of this class of control, and instrumentation are clear and easy to use. The biggest problem is probably the legroom for drivers along. In practice, the MGTF provides a reasonable boot behind the engine - able to drive this weekend luggage or golf clubs, space is limited under the hood. At higher speeds, the top-up the engine, wind and road noise are noticeable, but do not get too intrusive for a car in this respect.
