You said “it’s only an issue if you make it one”, which is not expressing just an opinion, it’s invalidating others.

Yeah. It follows the same design school as putting handles on push doors, it’s not a case of learning, it’s simply bad design.

Yes, but all you are showing here is that you think your perspective and lifestyle are fully representative of everyone else, and that, if it's not a problem for you, it can't possible be a problem for others. This is the definition surely of ignorance? The turning off issue is most certainly...

It’s deffo an issue. Just one that you don’t care about.

Yep, and if they followed what Hyundai does and push messages you a few minutes after leaving car unlocked I’m sure this issue wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

The person above (if you’re quoting the person I am) is talking about the pull down menu, not the multiple click option you a referring to. Don’t think you are as I have same.

There’s screen off, but no system/car off.

My car only ever came with the update, so I never got to experience the kamikaze setting. In my experience TJA and LKA fight with each other and this causes the car to sway from side to side making far too many adjustments "fidgeting" about and sometimes even calling itself out by beeping at you.

I agree, it always perplexes me why people treat feedback about a car like it's a personal attack, they didn't design or make the cars. All cars have their quirks, good points and bad points. I can certainly see the MG4 doesn't fit my lifestyle as I struggle with these negatives day in day out...

Are your motorways in Cyprus like what I experience in England, very much doubt it! Without trying to sound too condescending I'm doing longer journeys many times per week, not just "a few" like your experience has been based on. Yes, my car could be a lemon, but I doubt it, based on what I've...

Do you mean like where a motorway has a junction / left turn off? I get this issue when there's a solid line on the left when in lane 1 which then changes to a dashed line, the car will try and steer off the motorway. It's a pain in the backside. Also, get quite a lot of the system "giving up"...

It might be worth checking when the car was made. Probably been sat in a field for a year and a half like mine was, with the battery slowly draining, and knackering it.

Yep, or possibly a double press of the P button in quick succession, or holding down P button

It is when your drive points upwards straight into the neighbours windows like mine. The point is that this is basically functionality that almost every car has (for a reason) that MG’s penny pinching has made life unnecessarily more difficult for zero benefit to the customer.

Off mode would stop the car lighting up the house across the road like I’m hosting my very own personal lighthouse. Or are you going to say people need to turn off their lights manually too? What about the DRL’s, can’t do that at all.

I do get that warning, but like all the warnings on this car, they don't remain for very long :). I've turned off the voice warning, as that is very annoying.

Couple of weeks ago I got it down to 2% and the car was a bit more sluggish but still going. I notice when less than 50% it really doesn’t like motorway speeds.

It shows from c.145cm. If you park further away from cars or walls than this then you'd have never have seen it :)

I have this too, although very frustratingly only present sometimes, and not others. I know taking it back to the dealers is a mission in futility as mine is intermittent. However, if you have this all the time you could try taping bit by bit to see if you can find the offending seal.

Sorry to be pedantic (as it's a great summary) but it's not electric front seats, only the drivers seat. Shame there's no lumbar support for driver either.

This didn't work on an MFG charger I was at when the screen was blank. Tried it loads of times to no avail. Luckily for me, a school boy error of wearing polarising sun glasses whilst trying to look at the screen was the culprit, took the glasses off and as if like magic the screen appeared in...

I presume we are not talking about the Overspeed warning (which is enabled using the smaller drivers screen via the menu buttons on the steering wheel, but instead the "intelligent" speed limiter / warning system (not sure what it's called) but enabled via the Infotainment? Neither the...

School zone is flagged up in a yellow box (along with a verbal alert if enabled). This single bong has no visual indicator on the map, it appears to have no obvious trigger. The speed camera sound is more of a ring tone sound and when sounded indicated on the map. Next time I hear this single...

Not that I buy this as a reason at all, but if that was the case, then are we saying the product isn't fit for purpose?

It's a shame they didn't use the system Hyundai uses where it detects the car in front and constantly adapts the auto-regen to make the best of both worlds. Setting my previous Ioniq in Level 0 and Auto-Regen was brilliant as it would allow the car to coast, then as you approach a car say at...

Good spot! I'm certainly going to try this one out as that blooming useless blue bar is in the stupidest place ever. I mean come on MG how are we supposed to see what's coming up and where we should aim for on larger roundabouts or complex road systems with the current auto view.

Just get some black non-slip matting as used for kitchen drawers and cut to size. This is what i do :).

Same here, i was a little confused to start with too. I suppose it's because people are only pressing the pedal lightly to come to a complete stop thus they have to "con" the car in to doing it by pressing the brakes on, off, on. Seem much more logical to push pedal all the way down as you...

The overall vehicle warranty would never be "voided" because you have attempted to fit extra speakers. It's possible if you damage a wiring harness they might refuse to repair on the cars wiring, or if you scratch the door up and it leads to rust they might refuse corrosion claim.

I'm sure it could be "fixed" in a few strokes of code as it's likely already a parameter available. However, as MG want to spend as little money as possible on after sales support they are not going to bother making any changes.

Seems a bit backwards in this day and age for them to need coding to the car for which wheel they are on. The car should be able to work that out for itself like many other brands can.

This random beep without any notification of what the beep it is trying to convey happens quite frequently on my car too. It seems to do it without the Sat Nav being active, so is not related to the route. Not worked out what it is yet, as there's nothing shown on the map, nor shown on driver...
