    MG Maestro EFi / Maestro Turbo are excellent cars post 1985 models. Build quality much improved as was ride and perofrmance. I'm currently looking for either EFi or Turbo version.

    Originally bought 1600 twin webber model, progressed to efi (x2) then bought turbo brand new in 1989, I still have it, I will never part with it, since 1994 I have bought a brg one, a basket case white one (complete restoration), and am still waiting for my t16 conversion to be finished, so theres no hope for me, I guess I like them.

    This is a review that goes back to the eighties and I hope puts the MG Maestro EFi / Maestro Turbo in the context of its time. I'm making the comparisons from memory, but it's new car against new car, not twenty-year-neglected scrapyard candidates.

    My wife had two of these in succession from new (which has to be something of a recommendation) in between eight and sixteen valve Mk2 Golf GTi's, and was doing a 140 mile daily trip, so these notes do cover about 70,000 miles of ownership.

    This MG Maestro EFi / Maestro Turbo Sports car is one of the reasons we don't build cars anymore in great numbers. When I see someone driving one of these, which thankfully isn't often, they're usually wearing a Burberry baseball cap. I make a point of getting past them as quickly as possible before their testosterone kicks in. Seriously though, this is another car for the new 'Banger' section coming to the website soon.

    I like my MG Maestro EFi / Maestro Turbo 2.0EFI a lot. Its really good fun when you overtake so called better cars and the owner puts there foot down to speed up, but i still out accelerate them. 1tonne car with 115bhp 0-60 8.5 secs and lots of lovely torque. A k&N induction kit and some big cold air pipes improve upon this. People don't know about MG Maestros until there left behind...
    It is said that the handling is apalling on these cars. Standard Mg's have soft dampers and a horrific ride h ...

    The MG Maestro Turbo is a great car with a 2.0 8v Turbo and intercooler. The best thing about it is how it goes and boy does it go. Most drivers don't know this spec of maestro exists and think it's only a maestro with a body kit and try and having some fun tailgating and revving engines at traffic lights as if it's a Nova. Then they learn what a maestro turbo is when they are left for dead in the rear window. This car has a fun factor of 10/10 and performance per pound nothing comes close. ...

    This is an incredibly quick car that will show up high spec BMW's etc and the look on new expensive cars drivers faces when they are out performed by a Maestro is unbelievable. Fun Factor 10/10
    The body kit is smart but has that please rob me tag on it.
    There are a lot of upgrades for the MG Maestro to give it some more speed but mines standard apart from a K&N air filter.
    MPG on average is around 30 which is good for a 2.0 Turbo

    Largely forgotten among XR3i's and 205GTi's, Austin Rover's MG Maestro, and the limited edition MG Maestro Turbo, were the best performance-per-pound family sports cars you could buy.
    Suspect build quality among early models, and the fact that the Maestro replaced the dull and unreliable Allegro (or should that have been 'All Agro') tarnished the image of what was in fact a very advanced car for its age.

    What other car at the time had a digital talking dashboard, voiced by actress Nicolette ...
