MG MG3 Auto 2022
Carsguide Managing Editor - Head of Video Matt Campbell had this to say at the time: Aside from its safety shortcomings and underwhelming powertrain, it’s easy to see why the MG3 has become a successful part of the brand’s line-up. If you’re driving around a rural centre like I was, it makes a lot of sense.

MG MG3 Auto 2022 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the MG MG3 Auto 2022 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Can I lessen the opening height of a 2022 MG3 Core hatch?
Not really. The hatchback door is designed with hinges and support struts that travel a set distance and then stop; they're not adjustable. If the problem is that shorter people can't reach the hatch to close it, a simple fix could be a strap attached to the hatchback that hangs down and is within easy reach. Just make sure the strap doesn't get caught in the closed hatchback causing a potential exhaust leak into the cabin.

What would be your recommendation when buying a small new car for teenage children learning to drive?
The popular MG3 is the model you’re referring to and you’re right; it hasn’t been locally crash-tested. But it does lack some important safety gear. Enough, we reckon, to knock it off your short-list. The MG lacks, for instance, important driver aids such as autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assistance, nor can these features be had by spending more on a fancier version.
Which leaves us with your other two choices, the Hyundai i30 and Kia Rio. Even then, you’ll need to option up beyond the base-model to get (some of) those safety features, but these are not expensive cars to begin with, so the jump might not be as bad as you think.
The other car to consider would be the SP Pure version of the Mazda 2. At $23,690, it’s not over-priced but it does have low-speed (up to 30km/h) autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning as well as rear cross-traffic alert.
And a manual transmission? The MG 3 no longer offers one, both the Hyundai i30 and the Kia Rio are available with a six-speed manual option. The Mazda 2 Pure SP is automatic only, but you can get a six-speed manual on the base-model Mazda 2.
I agree that youngsters taught to drive a manual car tend to be better drivers, but that’s not a universally held view these days. And the fact is that most young drivers will never be presented with a clutch pedal in the future, raising the question of why learn in the first place? The reality is that learning to drive a manual car gives you extra mechanical awareness and extra ability to multi-task behind the wheel.
