I worry that some in here will argue that is a perfectly reasonable action if you want it off off...

Unfortunately there isn't a tone button, everything I type is with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I am a little bemused by how much traction the question has got, folks seem to take it as an affront to them personally that someone else is asking for help on solving what is a reasonably (I think...

Anecdotal data is anecdotal. This is a casual forum and I am not alone. Thats good enough for me. It is interesting that you both acknowledge that SAIC could do many things to improve the car. Whilst simultaneously insisting that the particular query I have, does not matter. So to your point...

Me: Hey, does anyone know if I can turn this car off? You : OMG IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY A HORSE!!?!? I have a horse.

Can you imagine this is an SE function only...there will be riots!

TRY IT! TRY IT IMMEDIATELY!!! (And then go to the settings screen and post a pic of the software version you're on immediately after!) Please and thank you.

For me, the fact that MG has incorporated an off button 4 screens deep, confirms that it is a function they believe is necessary. So in that sense they have sort of set themselves up for this. A stupidly simple fix would be to incorporate it in a front screen or immediate swipe/drop down. The...

Thats your 5th 'I give up' in this thread yet you appear to come back and tell people its not an issue the next day. A quick poll of replies in here puts it as an actual issue to 12 out of 14 individuals who have indicated their choice. Statistically, your opinion is an outlier. Embrace it...

In his defence he argues very passionately on their behalf I can't fault it! But none of my annoyance is directed at him. Its a great car. I like it. I want to keep it. I want to be able to turn it off without having to submit a retinal scan and 90 days of bank statements and maybe someone from...

I laughed...don't you start! (Pun?) No look I both respect and appreciate that @salty appears to interpret my observations as a direct assault on his sensibilities. I have no desire to meet at dawn at 20 paces over this. I do think given that I appear to be enjoying (broadly) acknowledgement...

Don't be sorry...I'll try to explain. I stopped the car, with an expectation of not being long. Now, in a normal, sensible, driver-centric car (you know, like the tens of millions already out there?) I would have turned the car off. And exited the car. Like a normal person. However, since you...

Popped into the car and had a few swipes, swiped up and down and left and right, one finger, two finger...multiple taps. There are definitely two screens. Drag down from the top middle: And drag down from either side from the top down you get a handy shortcut menu...but no power button for me.

As I admitted a day or two back to @MG Clive technically that is actually the answer! It does in fact power everything off. (Except the radio...oddly). Stopped at the outlaws yesterday to retrieve the dog and got out, wasn't going to go in but the FIL wanted help with a power tool. Next thing I...

You know that is the actual answer here...

I laughed...yes of course but I think 'hey, can I turn it off?' would be a reasonably low-hanging-fruit for customer happiness! :D
