I think one pedal drive is a bit marmite, I just don't like it. I keep trying it but still prefer regen 3 and the brake pedal. I find the rear wiper very useful as I've removed the centre headrest so I can see out the back. For me the Trophy has a couple things I like: 1, 360 camera, great...

Mine estimate doesn't seem to up much when I do a reset.

It isn't really a car that appeals to me so doubt I will find out.

Might be just an XPower thing but the figure on my Trophy is normally pretty accurate. Obviously it can't predict the future but it normally isn't far off.

I never use eco mode.

The following are city cars (A segment) Fiat 500 Toyota Aygo Volkswagen Up! Hyundai i10 Kia Picanto Dacia Spring The MG4 is not a city car, it is classed as a C segment car (small family car).

I'm confused here, are you for or against the XPower? The MG4 is not a city car, it is a small family car, the same size as a Golf.

I don't get why they put the 64kWh battery in it, surely the 77kWh would have made more sense.

I think the bigger battery gives you flexibility on a journey. I have a long range (64 kWh) and yesterday I did an airport run, 59 miles round trip, nearly all motorway at 60 to 70mph, about 3 degrees and used 27% battery so that is about 218 miles range, which I think is pretty good in winter.

Just had a look and actually the top of the handle is about a third of the way along the door and the bottom is about half way along, probably why I've never noticed it.

I had the FN2 for five years from new, fun car when I was younger, just a shame the suspension was made from concrete.

I had a Type R as well, mad to think that my MG4 Trophy has the same power output and it's considered just ordinary.

Probably not the best example, I bet she gets out of every car like that :ROFLMAO:

It always felt like I was climbing into my Kia Sportage I had previously.

I've parked in plenty of tight spaces and just use the handles on the door to stop it swinging open with no issues, the only time I grab the outside edge is if I'm in a really tight space so I don't touch the car next to me.

Interesting read. I've always had fairly new cars so can compare my Trophy to those, and my experience is a bit different. The infortainment system, while not being great is perfectly usable, I tend to use Android Auto so don't really mess with it much. Seats, I find them very comfortable but...

These videos are good for narrowing down your choices, they certainly helped before buying my current car.

To be fair they only get to have a quick drive in these cars.

Exactly, it wasn't even a consideration when I purchased my car.

I don't have enough knowledge about if a heat pump is really worth it in a UK EV, but I think I would take it with a pinch of salt if a company that has decided they aren't going to fit them tells me they aren't needed.

That is the advertised price, it's been easy to get an MG4 Trophy for £24,000. I'm sure there will be some big discounts very soon.

No need for all of this, just press the heating button twice (off then on) below the screen, the full AC screen comes up.

It's better than this video I found on Youtube, it doesn't even know which car it is talking about.

It's a very positive review.

It also says the car is shorter than the ID.3, it's actually 13mm longer.

Just plug the belts in, a lot less hassle than doing all this and losing a safety alert.

Why would you need to do this?

Just noticed that a heat pump comes as standard.

Those look like the 17 inch wheels and the design isn't too bad. I took the covers off the 18s and the wheels are a flat design that doesn't look great, so the wheel trims went back on.

I'm with you on the scissor doors, a bit too much look at me.

I don't think I'd want one as a daily driver, mine is a fair whether car, it's sleeping in the garage at the moment.

I think the 'A mixture of the above four' should be removed as you can pick more than one option anyway.

Looks like Mazda has sold 30,000 MK4 MX5s, about 3000 a year.

I have an MX5 as a second car.

I have an MX5 and it is a no from me, mainly because it is too big, and also too expensive.

No,. not really. I retired last year at 55 and it was all about getting costs down as my Sportage was heavy on fuel. I looked at lots of options including hybrid, but loved how the EV drove.

The auto high beams on the MG4 are terrible as well. The zoned ones on my MX5 are excellent, never had an issue with them at all.
