    MG S5: first impressions

    Although I've just moved to a "googled" Android phone (after all my banking apps started to crash), I ran the iSmart on a non-googled FairPhone 3+ for the better part of 6 months. @stevedee are you also running MicroG? I never had a problem on the FP3 with iSmart. Clearly YMMV . . .

    Range - 80%

    We only do road trips once or twice a year. So when we're on the out-bound leg, I'll usually be looking for a charger at around 20%. However on the return leg, where I know with 100% certainty I can park and charge on the front drive . . . well, then I'll drive it down to 1%. Or less . . . . :cool:

    Range - 80%

    We really should tell @dx4100 what everyone in the EV community calls those gauges that estimate range. Doesn't matter if you drive an MG, a VW ID or a Tesla . . . they are a GOM. Guess-O-Meter And its almost always . . a bad guess.

    Phone mutes MGS5

    I've had this happen once. BT only, no AA/CP involved. I didn't think to try to swap the infotainment screen to "phone mode". Only seen it the one time, but I don't often use BT - who calls anyone these days . . .

    Best medium SUV 2025 - MGS5 Australia.

    Me personally . . I'd trade a few horsepower for a glass sunroof . . .

    MGS5 door opening issue

    It looks like China will demand that ALL car doors open with a single pull . . and will force current EV designs to be changed in 2027 to comply. MG is just ahead of the curve . . https://www.wired.com/story/new-rules-could-force-tesla-to-redesign-its-door-handles-thats-harder-than-it-sounds/

    Wireless phone charger (MGS5 EV)

    I too can report mixed results. My wife's Pixel (no case) charges perfectly, but my work provided Samsung (in a case) . . . charges sometimes, stops other times. I can't be bothered to take it out of the case, but I suspect that would improve the results.

    Forward Collision Warning into Sun

    There is no front facing radar on the MGS5 - sadly. Only backward for rear cross traffic alert and rear cross traffic break. Forward is vision only.

    MGS5 door opening issue

    What is up with MGS5 owners in Nepal? As others have said above - there is NO safety lapse in the MGS5 doors. Here is why we all should WANT simple to operate manual door handles in EVs . . . the alternative is disastrous. https://futurism.com/the-byte/four-die-trapped-burning-tesla

    DashCam turns off.

    I have a dashcam plugged into that USB . . and yes, I get this behavior. The dashcam starts up when I sit down in the car. I usually take a few seconds to get the tunes going from my phone and swipe down to set MG Custom. Then press the brake peddle to switch into Drive . . at that exact second...
