I've just looked at the spec, it goes up to very quick - probably not a good idea with my heavy foot ;-)

I find ACC handy around town as it helps me to stick to the speed limits. On motorways I compensate for the chunky speed adjustments by using the accelerator when/if I have to pull out to pass slower traffic. Again, using ACC on motorways helps me to maintain a sensible speed (no more than 70...

Push doors often have handles so that the door can be pulled to close it... I was teaching design (amongst other things) to post-grad engineering students on Saturday. Design is about compromises; cost, space, priorities, time, use cases, etc. We don't know what constraints the designers were...

Or, as an alternative view, in a complicated world this really doesn't add up to a hill of beans... You pays your money and takes your choice.

We'll be needing feedback and photos

All the sweet baby cheeses, I really don't need anyone else sending me messages. And I know if I've left the car unlocked, I can hear the radio... ;-)

I think you'll find that the decision was with @salty , MG just had to go along with it... 😉

That's what I use if I feel the need to "Finish with engines"

This is what I've got - screen off but not all off (unless I'm missing something obvious)

I couldn't find this option on the drag-down screen (I had a look yesterday as I sat for an hour in traffic, bored stupid, following an accident on the M25) - someone else was having a far worse day than me, so I don't quibble about being held up

I spent a while tootling around the motorways of the south-east yesterday (Maidstone - the OU campus in Milton Keynes and back). I only saw one other MG, a Smurf heading through Essex towards the Xing as I was going the other way in the morning. As it was early I can only imagine that the...

Black badge and fangs, sweeeeet!

Doing this I'm still spending less than I was on my 2-litre diesel (it was 12 years old, and I loved it because the roof folded down)

I can't charge at home, so I have a subscription with Ionity. I pay £10/month and pay 43p/kW, AFAIK you can take this out for a single month. I used Cobham Ionity chargers last weekend, there are lots and lots of them. There are also some Ionity chargers near Lewes, about 20 miles away from...

Some strange folk out there... 😉

How long are you away for? It might be worth taking out a subscription with a charging network as that can reduce the cost/kW. You'll need to consider how you might be using the car whilst in Eastbourne, if you are driving around the area and away from home charging, factor that in. I'd agree...

I understand that there are even people who don't like Volcano Orange! 😉

Good luck and welcome! My Trophy was 18 months old with fewer than 4k on the clock and I love it :) As you've already seen, there are cars in your price range and this is a great place for advice

A week in Cornwall and I didn't see another Tango, arrived at Cullompton to grab some Ionity and there was one already on a charger! Also saw one heading the other way at the bottom of the M5; it had a black badge and fangs.

If you are not defragging the hard drive and descaling the kettle, every week, all bets are off, amigo

Drove to Cornwall from Kent on Saturday, I've done a fair few miles since arriving. I've seen red, black, Camden grey, and Smurf but I've yet to see another Tango. It might be because we blend in so well...
