i do like the idea of the rear wheel drive, mg4 drivetrain on the estate - will be interested to see where they price that version!

thats a good point re the expensive bit only kicking in for new cars post 1st April 25 - i hadnt spotted that bit!

Morning all, Given EVs becoming the norm (well ish... :D) its no wonder we will be paying car tax from 2025, but does anyone else think that the additional "expensive car" threshold of 40k is going to catch a few people unaware? Most EVs (bar the lovely MG) come in over 40k and by my reading...

What i used to do ( before moving to intelligent tariff) to do a flat charge on cheap was setup a schedule as follows Charge set on everyday to 100% target Set to price cap Make sure ohme has the right tarrif selected. Then you can plug in any day and it will only charge at the reduced cost...

see this thread New MG5 Rear Seatbelts Issue

This was the set I got. There may well be other makes about now, but that's did the job great for me and my kids Wididi 2-Pack Car Seat Belt Buckle Holder Buckle Up - Soft Silicone - Easy Installation - Holds The Seatbelt Receiver In An Upright Position - Makes Buckling Easier For Kids...

Yep it's standard. I've got some silicon covers that go around the buckles to stop them going down the holes. I thought they were dear at about £8 for two, but have been marvellous.

I think the challenge here is that there is no pricing on the MG, there are lots of rumours and lots of suggested pricing but nothing official. Until there is official pricing its just not a comparison. If it does come out near 60k+ then I agree with those saying it will be over priced, but...

looks online like a larger "compact SUV" shape but with bonkers power - there doesnt seem to be much about it in the UK press so i was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about if it might come to the UK? hoping it might be another cheep and cheerful option as they try to build a...

sounds like absolute bolox i have very much the cheep and cheerful version, wired into 12v port on dash, wires just tucked away and stuck on windscreen behind the rear view mirror. my camera cost me a whole £13 from robert dyas in one of their many sales but its enough for peace of mind given...

£225 for mine on Friday, booked online with Richmond who are my local franchise. Seems steep for what it is but everything has gone up and it's nothing compared to what I used to pay on ice cars!

i agree - all i wanted to see was a cheap and cheerful, simple, fun to drive - rear wheel drive electric two seater. what we seem to have (if the press is to be believed) is all of that ie. simple, rear wheel drive, but vastly over priced. there isnt a premium to be paid for electric cars...

yeah seems mad for some brake fluid + one filter

watching this thread, i have used Richmond MG previously and you can get a quote online Book Your Car Service Online | South England | Richmond Motor Group but its coming up as £225 for a year two service which seems extortionate???

Wow I can't believe how badly judged that position in the market is... I do love my mg5, and I was sold on getting one of these. But 50k+ is madness. No one is ever going to compare an mg to a porche, let alone of they do compare the two and find the porche is cheaper and then buy the mg...
