Union Blue MG6 driven slowly down our cul-de-sac Maybe lost.
Discussion
Still a rare sight on UK roads. Only the second MG6 I've ever seen down my cul-de-sac. Must be lost.
Wrong. What I did not know was that this was my son's friend Steve coming to visit. Top spec model MG6 with lots of useful gizmos and the first time I've had a close look and some actual hands on experience. Steve, kindly allowed me to drive his car for a few miles up to a local beauty spot and back. He even OK-ed it for me to take it close to the red line.
Not surprisingly, it felt much like my 1.8t ZT. I was impressed with both the car and the way it drove and handled. Much more like the ZT than the ZS in the family fleet. Good vibrant colour too which makes a refreshing change from the multiplicity of dull as ditchwater shades of greys chosen for so many new cars in recent times.
My thanks go again to Steve for kindly allowing me to drive his nice car. Here's a few pictures.
and the engine compartment with the cover removed. :~
Far nicer driving experience and certainly a nice place to be than some "media" reports would have us believe.

Much better than I was expecting.
Two hundred metres from my home is a cross roads with 4-way traffic lights. Best part of two minutes red-to-green sequence. Approaching needing to turn right, delighted right turn lane empty unlike long line of cars in nearside lane. At the head of that line was another new MG6. Lowered my passenger door window and spoke to driver. He was very enthusiastic and recommended the car.
Having driven one, I can now understand that. OK so only another volume ordinary production line car like 99%+ of all the others. As ordinary cars go, this one goes well and looks good too.
