Yeah hope not! lol. Only thing our dealer really got right was the collection day and time! The rest was basically downhill (mainly due to MG UK granted)

I think it's hard to gauge the ratio. Personally I've driven 3 X-Powers (one of which was my own) - 2 two had the vibrations and one was perfect. Also it seems that some cars suffer worse than others (there are videos of cars with the whole dash & rear view mirror shaking violently). The...

Agree. I think there are only around 1500 X-Powers registered in the UK so we are a very minor annoyance at best. Growth despite the MG4 being rated as the most unreliable new car of 2024! Guess the other models must all fare much better.

Really sorry to hear that you are basically experiencing the identical treatment that I had in April 2024. I did the same and put in a rejection request within days of buying the new car - the dealer had it for 6+ weeks during this process (gave us an MG5 to use). At this point car only had 200...

Yes agree

Briefly looked into this. Long and short was that it is possible but insurance companies (in UK at least) aren't keen as it'll be an aftermarket mod so ramp up the premium ludicrously which also leads to further devaluation of the car (and we really, really don't want more depreciation!)

Yep similar to what we went through one year ago. Really sad but not surprising that MG UK haven’t changed their approach. What’s the current situation with the group action rejection - must be 6 months ago it all started?

Similar issue with Admiral for me. Was £545 last year - renewal came in at £683 despite no claims, convictions or changes. Quick run through a comparison site - Autonet+ came back with £357! Went through the cancellation of auto-renew on Admiral log-in and they immediately knocked off £100, but...

That was one theory but remains just that - all we know is the mg technical bulletin referenced a driveshaft as an excitation source (didn’t reference front or rear AFAIK). Suspect SAIC know but aren’t letting on.

At least one member on here (from Australia) has had the stage 2 fix with a complete resolution, fuelling the wildly held opinion that MG uk stated that this fix didn’t work, due to the immense labour cost associated with it.

X-Power better than the base model 3 (had one for 3 years), apart from the software and treatment from the company & dealers. Thing is Tesla don’t discount on rrp so you would be paying the full ~£37 to 39k for the Tesla. MG dealers are discounting the x-power by ~£12k from list price so I doubt...

I think it's just lazy journalism - they were obviously the cars/models they could get hold of easily and fancied a road trip. As above, i5N glaring omission - almost wonder if they were sponsored by Renault/Alpine and so didn't want to include anything that might challenge for the top...

Seems strange they didn't pick the X-Power given that most of the others in the test were the top-of-the range offerings? Probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but having driven both the ER & X-Power back-to-back, the X-Power is undoubtedly more fun.

Yes it stays.

No charge for the LKA update and I put in the correct complaints to obtain the R63 update as a warranty issue. Other Module updates wouldn’t normally be updated but master tech is a good chap and appreciates how badly MG customers get treated by MG UK, so did them as a favour. 100% shouldn’t be...
