2010 MG TF

The MG used to be the premier sports car in the British fleet, though now taken over by the likes of the Austin Mini and BMW the MG still fills a need for loyal British car enthusiasts. The new 2010 MG TF 85 & 135 models were designed to attract those same people who loved the old MG’s but who want a modern flare to them. Despite being sold to a Chinese firm, MG still retains it’s British charm.

2010 MG TF 135

The MG comes equipped with a very light but powerful 1.8L I4 engine that can put out an impressive 135 hp. Not bad for a little car. If that doesn’t impress you, you may enjoy the fact that the car can get 46mpg. But don’t go rushing for the MG if you are a Tree-Hugger, the MG was not made to save gas, it’s true nature is revealed when it’s placed on the track. With a take off rate of 0-60 in just 8.4 seconds and with top speeds of 127mph you’ll be sure to win any drag races.

The new MG comes in two basic trims: The TF 85 (85th Anniversary Edition) or the TF 135.  The TF 85 is a special edition MG so expect to pay a little more, around $30,000. The 135 is price a little lower at just $27,000. Which isn’t too bad considering. The only problem about getting into an MG in North America is finding one that was built with the steering wheel on the left side.
