Love the fact that the OD reviews mostly start with the Drive and the cosmetic/features bit is not continuous in a long boring usual speak on how pretty the touch screen is etc etc. I find OD reviews quite objective and fun to watch as an enthusiast

High time MG introduces a diesel automatic for the Hector. It will pack a punch against competition.
