TF Wins Top NZ Award

MG beats Maserati and HSV to secure Performance Car of the Year

---

The MG TF has been voted Performance Car of the Year by New Zealand's Driver Magazine.

Selected for its "truly sporting chassis and brisk performance", Driver Magazine said that it "really liked the MG TF and found it both fun and a serious performer". The MG TF beat the HSV/Monaro, Maserati Coupe/Spyder and Mitsubishi Diamante Ralliart.

Allan Dick from Driver Magazine commented: "The MG TF 160’s new suspension set-up, improved body torsional rigidity, more powerful engines and attractive new styling were key influences in the judging panel’s decision to vote the TF Driver Magazine’s Performance Car of the Year."

It seems New Zealand knows a good car when they see it, it's a shame that MG's own country is too stupid to agree.

Quite.

The TF's a huge leap ahead of its F predecessor and surprisingly good. Very good. Especially on twisties where outright power isn't the issue. (And yes, I have driven Elises and so on by comparison.)
