Any car buyer will be concerned about the reliability of their car, but the concern is even higher for relatively new brands such as MG in the Indian market. As a newer model, the Astor doesn’t have the same long term reliability data of some of its competitors. As a result, there’s been a lot of talking amongst owners and potential buyers as to how the car holds up over time. Some users have reported trouble free experiences, while others have experienced everything from minor electrical niggles to more serious mechanical issues. The debate often continues on the quality of MG's after sales service and if they will be able to effect repairs promptly and effectively. But there's also the question of parts availability, which could make the ownership experience a lot more painful if something does go wrong. For some, the Astor is a balance between features at the cutting edge and the unknowns of a new brand's long term reliability.
