I have Just watched the Jonny Smith review on the MG4 SELR, and he Jonny has shown to us and told us more in about 30 minutes than all the other reviewers put together up to now so well done Jonny.
Some of it I did like and some I didn’t so what didn’t you like I hear you all cry,
So today there as been quite a few post floating around about the drive modes and Regen settings or rather how you can set them. It has been said today that the star buttons on the steering wheel can’t be set to do this function on the SE spec only the Trophy can.
Now I’m not keen on idea of having to use menus in the screen while driving to change these settings, you see I use the toddle switches in my 5 all the time not so much the mode setting but the regen constantly, and by reading the road up ahead as much as possible and using the regeneration in the correct way by doing this I get good mileage and hardly ever need to use the brakes well maybe the last few yards when coming to a halt after 15000 plus miles there is no sign of an wear on the brake disc or pads.
Another spin off from this is how clean the wheels stay why no brake dust to speak of.
I won’t be using the 4 very much it will be my wife’s car that’s if she likes what she sees in the test drive, but I known she not impressed with have no rear wiper and when Jonny Smith said there is no grab handles in the rear she said how do you hang anything up then, I think referring to coat hangers when she has taken items to the laundry from time to time for cleaning or if we go away in it.
Not over impressed with them what look like plastic bits at the bottom of the doors but like a Renault Clio I think, what’s them for she asks, does not want the trophy model thinks it a boy racer car, so still got a bit of work to do yet to get her over the line so to speak, but yeh the Jonny Smith review was good best yet for me.
