Yeah, I've experienced the same sudden braking when using ACC, when the car thinks it's seen any kind of bike (motor or otherwise). Have never managed to catch what's on the display, it dissappears too quick. First thing I look at is my mirrors. It's the first car I've ever had where I hover my...

We had ours for 3 months, over 8000kms, and experience all the same niggles. Not sure how long we'll keep it or what would replace it. That said, I can't find anything else I'd rather own that drives as well, is RWD, similar size, as comfortable, with the same long warranty and at a similar...

MGS5 is my first EV, I setup the app via the QR code from the car's menu when we picked up the car. I see this on the MG iSMART app (Android), (after scrolling to the bottom ofthe list). Hope it helps.

We took delivery on the 8th, wouldn't matter anyway as the data is gone.

Was hoping to join in with some stats, but have noticed the Accumulated Total seems to have reset itself at least twice now (we're about 1200km on the odo). I noticed in the MG4 forum this is a common complaint. Wondering if anyone has seen the same with their S5 yet?

MGTitan Accessories, rear cargo mat and floor mats, 10 days to Australia. Ordered 2nd Aug, arrived 11th Aug. Will leave them out in the sun for a few hours to let the creases flatten out (where they were folded for shipping)

will no doubt be interesting. Until details are known it's a lot of speculation and guesswork. Whatever comes out, my guess is bigger motor and bigger battery will mean bigger sticker price. I could wait, and not start to enjoy any of the benefits or I could make the switch now, and switch again...

We managed almost 280 km, mostly country roads, with a good mix of driving and return trip of 170km, no crazy stuff, just a couple of quick overtakes. Passed through several towns on the trip where it drops down to between 50 and 70km/h. I averaged very close to 16 kWh/100km. So based on that...

Thanks, yeah that would help. 62kWh Top Spec (Essence). Going for a longer drive today, will see how we go.

Thanks for this forum, so glad I found it. The MGS5 has recently been released downunder, and I've had one on evaluation for the day. I'm new to EVs but have a had a few cars in my time. Two things I noticed that I haven't seen covered in this forum. Head light (or headlamp as it's called in...
