    With more people saying MG is better (myself included) you should go with the red, if you also like it. It sounds like fewer people have the radiant red.

    Definitely love my MG. I've been set on this color for a few years and was going to get a variation of that color no matter what vehicle I got. Plus my last vehicle was red so I wanted something different.
