First of all, I don't troll..as far as I'm concerned I simply take part in some conversations. My quotes regarding what my Outlander can achieve whilst under pure ev power is just as relevant as references to any other bev, particularly as it must be less efficient than the MG4 under...

Well, they can't stop us laughing - although they're having a bl**dy good try! 🙂

The problem on forums like this is the people want to drive for fun all the time (who doesn't) but simultaneously moan about how poor the car's range is compared to the manufacturers claims. These will also have moaned incessantly when their ic car failed miserably to achieve anything like the...

Well, I suppose if anyone can, Shengis can.

They never have to get past me. Nearly all of them travel at precisely 56 mph satnav If any start closing the gap I nudge the speed up to stay clear of them, then if I start closing on another I safely overtake it, then when well clear resume cruise control, and repeat. It's not exactly...

What truck drivers are going to be p#ss#d off because you're in the first lane with them and you actually know how to drive?

You don't need to get close to trucks at 56 mph. I've just done a return trip from Chesterfield to Liverpool in my Outlander phev brick, 77 miles each way with 23 miles electric range outbound and 1 mile range at the start of the return. Plenty of hills at the Derbyshire side. Regen...

Doesn't it feature lh drive euro spec cars?

Reminds me of Robocop. 🙂

They've now put 20/04/23 on as delivery to dealer (includes about 6 weeks at sea from Japan) but who knows which way that'll go.

AdeMcG - Absolutely spot on! I've also spent a lot of time here soaking up information and hoping that an MG4 would fit our needs to replace a 7 year old Outlander phev and /or our Skoda Citigo, preferably both. However I finally came to the conclusion that the 4 fell between the two stools...

Oddly enough, after I'd looked at the Megane as it was using the same platform as the Nissan Ariya, realised that the MG4 fell between two stools as it wasn't a replacement for either our Outlander or our Skoda Citigo so cancelled the MG4 and ordered an Ariya. Maybe look at any forthcoming...
