    IM6 or Model Y?

    My IM6 purchase included one year of top tier insurance, along with the lifetime (whose lifetime) warranty on the battery and electronics. Obviously that is not a ‘guarantee’ that nothing will break. They will replace the part(s), not sure about labor. For the first five years of service, the...

    Glove Box/Compartment 🚫

    I feel like this small bit of information should be publicized. It was a real surprise to me when I went to put gov. docs in the glove box when I discovered there was no glove box. There seems to be ample space available, but perhaps the airbags are taking up the room. Not a big deal, but...

    IM6 or Model Y?

    I have no idea what the PM eating is on my air filter. This is a question you should ask MG support. Total cost for 5 years of service here in Thailand is ฿14,843, $468.04, €399.19, £345.26. Chump change Regarding the rear view, I have grown to prefer the rear view video on the dash over...

    IM6 or Model Y?

    Here in Thailand, it appears that all new cars include UV reflective tinted window film, including the windscreen. I chose darker tint on the rear side windows. The glass roof is a nonissue folks, it’s so dark it’s barely transparent.

    IM6 or Model Y?

    I don’t consider changing the cabin air filter annually excessive. I certainly appreciate clean air, and I have seen the old filters from many of my past cars, and they are all gross to be kind. The price of the ‘service’ is chump change. I looked up some prices. Air filter - $13, £9.66...

    e-Sim

    I use Apple Car Play. I have no idea how Android Auto works. Car Play does not support web browsing, however, the car is a hot spot, so your phone can browse the internet. The apps included in the car’s OS are Spotify, YouTube, Joox, and TikTok. It does support video play from a USB Type C...

    IM6 or Model Y?

    Nick, regarding trip planning, I use Apple Maps or Google maps here in Thailand. In both Apple and Google, I searched for nearby charging stations and pinned those of interest. I haven’t looked into charging app’s route planners at all. Here in Thailand, I got a lifetime warranty on the entire...

    IM6 or Model Y?

    Welcome Nick. My overall opinion is very good now, but the first few weeks were a bit of a challenge. Being such a new car, there is a lack of infrastructure and knowledge base. The owner’s manual is content free. There are a LOT of settings, some of which will be the set and forget type...

    MG IM6 information & reviews

    Regular service shouldn’t be a problem. A new cabin air filter yearly, new brake fluid every two years, and coolant flush every four years. No more waiting four hours for an oil change every six months. I love it!

    MG IM6 information & reviews

    You all are in for a big surprise.I got my IM6 last July, There were some teething problems at first, but all is well now. I think that this being a new car, especially in Thailand, that much of the infrastructure was not completed. No one at the dealership knew much about the car in order to...
