Not an MG
I test drove it just now. It drives well. Glides effortlessly. The steering could be a bit more precise. The seating Post at 6'2 is the limit. Thanks to the forums i was able to move the seat further back by holding the button for 10 seconds. Im over noisy cars tbh. This would suit me fine. Cheap motoring maybe not cheap to buy. Regarding suspension this was a 25 plate so newer build. It didnt bounce over bumps or crevices. I think the media are driving fresh or pre reg cars. It actually felt like cross between a Merc and an F Type. Not too hard not too soft. I like it. I even taught the saleswoman a few tricks with the seats and menus 👀. Waiting on a used one to come up. Obviously will need to test drive the specific car too. Yeah the cars wider than my Zed slightly. No strange noises from the roof etc. I didnt have the sound on so could listen for any strange noises. It was nice test drive a few comments along the way from public with the roof down. Ill definitely be looking at a used one. Mirror adjustment was limited on drivers side i couldnt move the mirror further right as i was sat back further back than usual.

Journos said similar things about my TV. Im still using it 10 years later 👀. Dont listen too much to critics, have a drive yourself.

Pros: Crazy Fast, Smooth, Comfortable, Good looks, more adjustments for tall drivers, feels like a GT Merc. Nice to drive.

Cons: Needs more precise steering especially at low speed. Software updates needed, auto Brightness adjustment on screens, more options for custom mode maybe a gears simulation feature, Adjustable dampers possibly. Price could go slightly lower but its competitive for what you get.

What are you driving currently? A Z4?
I had a 370Z/Nismo before. I had 4 in the past and did consider a Z4. I also looked at SLC/SLK. At the moment a Smart car to get around. But im considering the Electric version just i heard some things about it.

I need a heavier car especially for the motorway. I think the Cyberster does that well. I just need to work out if ill need a cushion for my lower back. Also never had a convertible before.
