The MG3 Core auto is Australia's budget hatch doing its best tradie impression: cheap, cheerful, and a bit rough around the edges. The 1.5-litre petrol and old-school 4-speed auto are fine around town, but ask for overtakes and it huffs like a leaf blower on a hill. Ride is comfy enough for pothole bingo, steering is light, and parking is a doddle.
Cabin plastics are rental-spec yet space is decent for a city runabout, and MG's long warranty sweetens the deal. The catch? Safety tech is dated—no AEB on these pre-new-gen cars—so it's behind the class. If you want the absolute cheapest new-car motoring, it delivers; if you want polish and refinement, look elsewhere and bring a bigger wallet.
