    I drive a 2024 kia picanto gt line. 0-100 in 15.0. Australias slowest new car. Possibly the world.

    The petrol MG3 is slow, thirsty, thrashy, has woeful brakes and has bad dynamics.
    On the other hand, it has plenty of room. Your friends will be moderately comfortable while they admire your new car's awfulness.

    Cvt, worse engine than competitors, rough feeling from factory (imagine in 5 years IF it lasts that long)
    Dismal sound
    Completely unsafe braking
    Looks like a mazda 2 from wish
    Slow as balls
    Pieces of junk like this flooding our market is 100% of the reason nothing good will be coming cheaply or in a reasonable time any more.
    If you buy one of these or anything else like it from said place of origin. YOU are actively contributing to the downfall of the motor industry.

      They're mad. The hybrid is moody (sometimes fast, sometimes slow), expensive, uses more fuel than a Mazda 2 and still has woeful brakes / bad dynamics.

      @sidjyothi 22 дні тому +1

      @@RodneyW agree with the moody part, but hybrid fuel economy is pretty good. Plenty of reports from the UK and even here saying it averages 3.9 to 4.3l/100.
      Brakes are fine. Not a golf R though and it’s not trying to be.

      @@sidjyothi I was basing it off the DE MG3 hybrid review which returned 5.3 litres / 100km. CarExpert got 4.8 litres / 100km. Drive & Chasing Cars got 5.2 litres / 100km. Its ADR claim for highway driving is 6.3 litres / 100km, which is pretty thirsty for the class. It also requires premium unleaded (95), so it has a price premium of around 15 cpl over U91.

    Prova inutile e senza senso MG3 è nata full hybrid.
    Il motore termico serve quello elettrico.
    Già è tanto che con il termico puoi comunque andare ovunque.
    Auto comunque superiore a Renault Clio,yaris ecc..
