I don't think there is much reassuring to do as you already decided it is a hateful car. You can always sell it. I don't hate mine as it does its job alright, but it would be SO much better if MG actually fixed the usability issues. But as it turns out they seem to sell very well due to their...

Obviously they are trying to sell the car as much as possible, and having LKA permanently off helps. If it's a demo car there are no repercussions for turning it off permanently. The consumer will of course feel deceived and pissed off to the maximum when he/she finds out it cannot be turn off...

With the loading indicator spinning and trying to perform any action, I get this message. They couldn't bother to set the buttons and other controls to a disabled state while the app is retrieving data just shows how hastily the app was made.

Can't wait for battery tech to improve and overcome this limitation. It really is a big thing if you live somewhere colder. -3°C this morning and consumption is still around 25kWh/100km.

Another NCrAP requirement for their 5-star rating?

It is pretty much essential if you live in a nordic country.

It's down again. Thanks for not letting me preheat the battery at -16°C, MG.

Is the reading maxed out @ 29.8kWh/100km in Trophy too? Why couldn't they just put something like 30+kWh/100km instead. Gives a very amateurish feel of the software. Considering 87°C is not an uncommon internal temperature reading in iSmart, MG truly loves magic numbers...

I'd expect their OTA implementation process to be as "smooth" as, for example, iSmart updates...

I get the eCall system failure, first yellow, then red, multiple times a week.

Common sense? From NCAP? Don't think so. Most common sense would be to dismantle NCAP and re-establish a new organization with people who actually own and drive cars. Why does it have to be so hard to sit in a car and drive off without having to push a single button? It's a car, not a frigging...

I keep the battery heater on whenever it's below 1-2°C and also preheat for at least half an hour, unless it's less than -10°C, then I preheat for one hour. With cabin heater on, yes it will more than double the consumption for the SE without a heat pump. AFAIK, LFP is much more tolerant of high...

Because it is always cold. Well, almost always.

Not meaning to be harsh, but that sounds like something I would expect of MG. BMS configuration is a software thing so I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to mess it up too. The fact that my car is regenerating mildly even below -20° celsius when it certainly should not corroborates that. It...

I saw from some other local MG4 forum (IIRC) that the tolerance is something like +- 10%. Is that correct? That is a lot.
