I agree all manufacturers have good and bad cars, problems are expected. But a problem only becomes a major item if it is not sorted. Why cannot manufacturers and dealers see this and make an effort to solve the problem without all the excuses and keep customers happy with the brand.

Thank you for the update

My ismart app would not connect this morning to defrost the car, Network not available. Do I need to rebind?

After reading your comments I checked my Hybrid+. Impossible to remove the fuse box cover without dismantling the shroud over the top. Zero out of 10 for design. English or Chinese? Having spent my working life as a design engineer I cringe when I see such poor design and wonder what other...

Why put the battery in the boot using up space saver spare wheel space. A battery under the bonnet is normal in most cars and can be accessed by opening the bonnet which is possible with a flat battery by using the emergency key to obtain access to the bonnet release catch. Or is this too simple...

Today was the handover of my new HS PEHV. I asked the workshop foreman how to jump-start the vehicle in an emergency and asked him to remove the cover from the front fuse box. But even he couldn't do it. He even removed the upper plastic part, but without success. So, in an emergency, if the...

We had a heavy frost this morning, windscreen well coated. Used app to start air conditioning at 24C and it cleared the windscreen in the first 10min run, well impressed. Didn't manage the heated steering wheel or rear screen? Maybe not setting it right, will try again. No problem to put on when...

I miss the heated screen on my HS Hybrid+. Have had a number of Fords with a heated screen and they are very worthwhile in frosty weather. It was a toss up between a Kuga hybrid with heated screen and a space saver spare, or the HS Hybrid which has neither. Agree the remote start is not very...

Spoke to my MG dealer today when collecting my MG mats and asked him why MG were cutting the list price so much on certain models, what were they hoping to achieve? He said perhaps it's because second hand EVs are not selling so well. Maybe true, maybe not, but that's what he said. He didn't...

Collected the MG mats from the dealer today, all good.

MG did similar in Sept for a new, unregistered HS Hybrid + Trophy for registration by 30th Sept. I saw a number available on Auto Trader but selected a dealer close to me (8 miles). They had a choice of colours on offer at £25,500 (about £7000 off list.) I chose Hampstead Grey. Paperwork with...

Thanks Clive, I have sent an email this morning to the dealer so I may get a positive reply

Have you had the coating done inside and out? If so what do you think of it. I have a HS Hybrid+, and was pushed by the salesman to have the Diamond coating, not that impressed with it. Happy with the car up to now, had it 4 weeks. It has everything I want for a price much less than the...

Interested to see if your space saver fits. See you have modified the polystyrene block. Does your boot floor still fit OK or will it rest on the wheel. Pity MG has fitted the 12v battery and charger in the spare wheel well and made life difficult for owners who would like a space saver wheel...

I bought my MG HS Hybrid+ new from Sandicliffe Nottingham. Part exchanged and paid balance on collection. They did not ask for a deposit and released the car from PDI compound, prepared and valeted all ready for collection.. Still waiting for the car mats though from China. Seems garages all...
