I agree with you. Strangely enough, I find the ACC better than normal cruise and use it all the time. In London traffic, I have driven quite long distances, nearly all at 20 mph, without touching the accelerator. MG Pilot on motorway journeys is equally useful. Unlike most people, I have had no...

It is true that there is a switch to turn HVAC on or off, which is good. However, this is only good if you have it set correctly in the first place. Even then, if you turn it off, you have to go back into settings to turn off recirculation. Turning on the heated seats requires you to use the...

I had an Exclusive SR, recently changed to the Trophy. I agree with slmorgan42 about the pros and cons. The facelift is a bigger improvement from the SR, because of the larger battery and MG Pilot. Whilst the extra range feels nice, it hasn't in reality made much difference. The SR went farther...

Unfortunately, different strokes for different folks. I generally have mine off, and only interact with it when I need to put it on, eg to demist. When that needs arises, I want to do it by muscle memory without being distracted, something I could do in my SR. I have had to represent several...

Whilst I have to concede that the Trophy is an upgrade on the SR I had before, the HVAC controls are a step back. Placing any vehicle related interaction on a touchscreen, let alone essential controls, is a serious safety issue and can potentially leave many drivers unfairly at risk of driving...

It was for me. I believe the issues many are facing, particularly with cost, relate to the older version, which you didn't get in Europe

I had the old one, now have the new. I'll admit being quite nostalgic about my first one! Was a damn good car.

My MG5 has the charger at the front. As long as I keep over to the right, close to the charger, it works without straying outside the parking space

The facelift came out during mid 2022. The earlier model cannot be upgraded to an app. I had an SR, now on a Trophy. The app is useful for checking the progress of a charging session; I rarely use it for anything else

No app works with the pre facelift, either SR or LR. I might add, it doesn't have the capability to set charging schedules so I doubt that is the issue

Well, slap my legs and call me Nancy. I never knew about that. Horrifying how much rubbish I have purchased over the years. Anyway, found the link: 9005/HB3/H10 LED headlight bulb,12000LM super bright LED headlight conversion kit, DOT certification,80W CSP chip, halogen headlight replacement...

Tried that. I got them 3 years ago and the history doesn't go back that far

I got them from Amazon but no longer have the details. They were about £50 I think

I am jealous. My new MG5 Trophy came with Maxxis tyres. Seems ok but no Michelin!
