On the road it mixes poise with comfort, rewarding drivers who want a refined, characterful alternative to the usual suspects — and enjoy the odd admiring glance at the lights.

The MG4 seems more versatile to me than the Dolphin, which relies mainly on design. The MG4 has proven itself and remains an excellent used option with low mileage.
