My last car was a Seat Arona FR Sport DSG . It was a lovely car but when the time came to renew the lease cost had risen by around £150 / mth ! As I do quite a lot of miles I was spending around £250 a month on petrol so decided to go for the MG 4 .My Hive app tells me that this year I've...

This is a hill I'm prepared to die on : We're not in the US of A . It's a "Froot"

Apologies , I though my input might help as the MG4 had similar patchiness as far as some cars having the insulation and some not . I'll keep my nose out in future :)

My 1st gen 4 didn't have it , but the version in the showroom did . I pointed this out and it was fitted FOC under warranty

Nationwide vehicle leasing have been good for me in the past

The Tesla chargers at lakeside shopping centre would probably be a good choice and cheap. They're just before the Dartford bridge on the M25 and open to all . You can take the opp to pop in to lakeside for a comfort break.

I have a very light foot!

I've done all four at 46500 and I'm pretty happy too

Actually the maths sometimes works out. If I was able to get of my finance with no penalties before the MOT is due , before a third service and before needing to replace the tyres, then getting into a new lease vehicle with one month's rental up front would make sense. Unfortunately the...

Just changed mine at 46000 miles . Decide to stick with the Continentals that were fitted on the car from the factory as I've been impressed with the wear and grip. Have to say that I've noticed that the car is quieter than before . I had a loan Trophy the other week and that was very noisy...

I have bundles of neg eq and a liability to Santander of around £2500 before I hit the 50% rule on my pcp at which point I'll hand the car back and terminate the finance I think . Unfortunately , unlike the olden days that liability can't be absorbed into the deal.

Mine are now at 45500 and will be changed in the next week or so , unless I can get my mrs to allow me to change the car itself!

I get that and my dealer has always been really good . They loaned me a trophy for 10 days while this work was being done and I've always been happy with the service I've received . It's more MG itself really and that fact that my car has now been back to them around ten times .

Actually, I'm now thinking of doing a lot more shopping about . I've just got my car back from the dealership and although they've sorted my problem out (see separate thread about an unusual fault) The steering wheel is now at an angle when I'm driving straight and the car was absolutely filthy...

I'm almost tempted to pause my desire for a MGS5 and wait until some demonstrator IM 6's start to appear
