  • A review of the MG Cyberster that proves MG is back in business.
    ********
    MG hasn't looked like itself in recent years. Made famous by its sporting pedigree, it hasn't had a halo model for over 12 years since the very aged TF finally died. All that time away means the return of the MG roadster is one of the most anticipated cars of 2023 and the Cyberster does not disappoint. MG may be Chinese now but this stunning electric roadster proves they haven't lost their ability to make fun, sporty cars. Sexy, scissor-doored, and fully electric, it spares no expense in the search for attention, but backs it up with a wonderful chassis. MG is back!

      Hope it does well too. It should given how good it is, price may be the only stickler but if you're going EV, it's the only option you have for this type of car. Doubt they'll offer a more basic option but one that does with the two outer screens and the scissor doors could come in as a really good budget option.

    That Cyberster is a homerun for looks.
    That is the opposit of the endless line of deadly boring EV's for the boring masses.
    The silouette of these SUV's and salons are all the same and you have to come up close to 1 meter to see what brand it is.
    This MG is great, fresh, and beautifull. But sadly, it will be like "unobtainium" when it arrives in the EU.
    What we need, is something like this, but for €30.000.
    Drop the scissor doors, the 23 bose speakers, the 3 sec for 0 to 100kmh can be 7 sec, and the rangs is perfect with 320km to.
    The price can be half and still have heaps of fun.

    Nice looking, but the fat steering wheel covers a good portion of the gauges forcing you to move your head left to right, right to left. For a 100yr anniversary launch, fell short there.? Too bad no hybrid option, not having a sports exhaust sound seriously deflates the purpose of having a true roadster. The all monotone interior color on this one is a little much. Im sure other options exist. Overrall, nice looking except the arrow brake lights, backbend slightly boring. Price is pretty attractive if they keep it under 45k, but i think its projected to be 10k more than that. Love the scissor doors.

      Footage isn't necessarily representative of how a car is driven. For my reviews, as a lone reviewer without a camera man, I prefer to drive the car first, get to know it as much as possible, and then I get time to film. Given we had all of 7 hours, half of which were lashing it down, in a place I've never been before, some shots are simply dictated by what you can get at the time.
