Everyone has a soft spot for MG, the cool British car company who made that uber-cool MG B convertible, remember them? Of course you do. Only now, MGs are not made in Europe anymore. The company's been bought out by one of the world's largest car manufacturers in China, SAIC. I have such fond memories of MG that I couldn't wait to try out the new small SUV, the MG ZS.
I was in the top of the range Essence. It's a five-seater that retails for around $24,000, so is in competition with the likes of the Ford EcoSport and the lower end models of vehicles like the Hyundai Kona and Mazda CX-3. It's on the cheaper end of the scale for what I thought an MG would retail for. Here's how it did in comparison to others in its class over my seven days of family driving.
