    Test drove and then put my order in

    Okay - what an absolute pain in the arse. Car is ordered with Tusker via work salary sacrifice (higher rate tax payer makes it worthwhile). Had an email yesterday saying the price is going up £42 a month from the original order - which is now more money than the other supplier my work offers...

    Maybe! I remember the last time I had a 400bhp RWD car in winter... wasn't overly fun.

    News on delivery of first Batch of IM5

    Lease company put my order in a week ago and I'm being quoted Jan 2026, which is in line enough with the 10-12 weeks. Although longer if it ends up being late Jan.

    Test drove and then put my order in

    Refuses to drive either the Midget or TF. To be fair to the Midget it's not stock and is 55bhp at the rear wheels last time it had a dyne run to set up the carb - it's a lot quicker than people think. I kept up easily with a Octavia vRS last time I had it out. It's faster than a lot of modern...

    Test drove and then put my order in

    It's why I always have scratch and dent insurance, also a dash cam with parking mode. My other half won't accept a car that doesn't do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Even the LR IM5 was a hard sell over the Performance. Even when we had a MINI F55 Cooper S I ended up with a tune on it to make it...

    Test drove and then put my order in

    Not a fan of any SUV really, they make me feel physically sick to look at and they drive like poo aside from the really expensive performance ones. Plus I like to be sat lower so something like a MGS5 or 6, or even IM6 (which I think looks awful in person - really awkward looking much like the...

    EV Database efficiency figures look poor

    I regularly see over 140kW on my XPOWER all the way to 50% when it tends to drop to around 80.

    Test drove and then put my order in

    Had my MG4 XPOWER since November 2023 and it's been okay apart from the usual XPOWER issues (70mph vibrations, black screen when using cameras when turning and CarPlay, etc, etc). It goes back to the lease company soon so we went and tried the IM5, ended up not bothering with the Performance...

    X Power Alloy Wheels

    Maybe it’s just me but I think all of these look vile.

    Bridgestone Turanza T005 EV tyres

    Compound vs. Tread pattern. Compound is more important and you have literally no way of knowing if they’re the same or not.

    Slippery when wet

    As far as I’m aware it does nothing to the way the car drives, just provides a timer.

    Launch ……..

    You don’t need Track Mode to launch, Sport is fine. And it hitting 100% isn’t launch mode either. If you put my car into Track Mode it doesn’t engage Sport Mode automatically. On mine I have to sometimes hold the brake, full throttle, and then press harder on the brake again, the car will jerk...

    XPower feels slow and launch control not working

    Still get reduced power 35% and under. Starts at 98 and reduces by a percent for each percent of battery SoC drop.
