| COMFORT AND EQUIPMENT RATING: |
 |
The SV's levels of comfort are actually fairly respectable for a supercar, with very supportive Recaro seats, an adjustable steering wheel and a relatively conventional cabin layout, with clear switchgear and dials exactly where they should be. Visibility is good too, even to the rear, rear three-quarter and mirrors - sometimes problem areas in supercars, but not in this front-engined MG.
The cabin's also reasonably spacious, with decent headroom and a height adjustable seat and, because it's only a two-seater, there's plenty of storage space in a net behind the seats, and there's a little oddments storage in the door pockets and between the seats. The boot isn't huge at around 150 litres, and is slightly oddly shaped because of the fuel tank. That said, squashy bags won't be a problem and MG may offer some bespoke luggage later on.
Equipment levels are okay; as you'd expect there are electric windows, air conditioning and part-leather/Alcantara seats. Better still is the alarm system with tracking facility, which can also remotely connect to engine management software at a dealership to fix electronic faults or download new engine management settings. The same facility can also be used to upload engine speed and gear selection data to give lap times on a track day.
However, automatic climate control is, sadly, only an option, as are floor mats, while metallic paint costs a steep £1,000. And the sports exhaust is for 'track day' use only, not legal for road use.
