    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    Why oh why is there no warning when leaving the vehicle with the side lights on? OK it does give a warning on the driver's screen when retuning to the vehicle, just a tad late methinks. Sorry if the above has already been covered, tldr.

    How to drive an electric?

    I had no problem with feet, braking with the right foot is the preferred way but occasionally I find myself in go cart mode using one foot for each pedal. The problem I had anticipated was slow speed manoeuvres such as parking as I had always controlled speed with the clutch - what to do now...

    Efficacy of Aero Wheel Covers

    No idea if the aero covers make a difference to economy, I asked for mine to be left on the boot and they have never been fitted, I just prefer the naked look.

    MG iSmart 2.0 [merged]

    First impression, it wasn't broke - but is now. I don't want range in metric, can't select imperial - it's greyed out. Left a "poor" revue on playstore.

Daily use is typically defrost using remote 10 minute cabin heat, drive 1.5 miles to check on my ageing father, stay with him for an hour then 1.5 miles home. I don't like winter, neither does the LFP battery. Longer trip (20 miles) will show...

    MG4 (Luxury) facelift or not???
