Yeah, they just post a photo of the general model of car. The asterisk next to it then details the actual variant that’s got the particular 0-60 time. The picture of the Smart #3 isn’t a Brabus either for example.

Ioniq 5N does look very impressive. Only beaten by some pretty expensive machinery. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/30-fastest-accelerating-everyday-evs-you-can-buy-today Our X-powers do make it to 15th on the list though, which isn't bad at all.

Yeah, here's the link: Hot Hatch obviously isn't a defined term, but for me personally it's weighted more in terms of handling, braking, feel etc than it is straight line speed. And I think most professional motor journalists feel the same way, hence a lot of people disagreeing with some of...

Well, this video is reasonable evidence, and it's one which has been posted several times in the support of the X-powers abilities. The X-power was significantly beaten by the Kona N, i20N and i30N, Civic Type R (two generations), GR Yaris. All cars on the list you responded to. Given the...

Of course they will all have it, it's not like it's a mistake. Asymmetric wing mirrors whilst not common, are certainly not unique. Plenty of cars have had them over the years. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Skoda to name a few have had them. If you really want your mind blown, Google the Mercedes...

Exactly as siteguru said. The Radio Frequency Interference Safety Case doesn’t currently allow for devices with those frequencies and powers to be near equipment. In reality it would almost certainly be ok, but work has to be done to prove it first. (Which will happen, as everything you buy...

Have to leave it completely off site in the car unfortunately, which is a pain for many reasons. It’s a nuclear power station.

No, I can’t. That’s why I said “in my own personal case”. I’m not allowed to have my mobile phone with me at work.

You don't miss what you never had, but going backwards in terms of functionality is often annoying. It obviously also depends on your use case. If you don't do the same journey at the same time 5 days a week it's obviously pretty irrelevant. In my own personal case, it also now means I can't...

Being able to set a schedule for cabin pre-heating / pre-cooling is one thing I definitely miss from my previous EV. It’s frustrating as it would have been an easy thing to implement on the app.

EU regs require the brake lights to come on above a certain deceleration rate. I can’t remember what the number is, but obviously in the MG4 whether it comes on will depend on regen level and battery level.

I struggle to believe for a second that something with the mass of the caliper covers could cause the level of vibration being talked about by some people. On that note, I've had my Xpower since Monday and I'm not entirely sure if I have the vibration issue under discussion here or not. I do...

Everyone loves a good 50/50 shot. My old Audi R8 looked like it'd been washed by Trigger with his broom. I enjoyed that one as the difference was amazing in the sun

My existing car is black, so nothing is worse than that to look after. Plus I’m fairly well equipped to keep cars looking their best….

I expect I’ll notice it to some degree, as I’m quite sensitive to what a car is doing. It’s more a case of exactly how annoying it is and how often I can feel it on my daily commute. Mine is white, as I wasn’t willing to pay extra for a different colour, so that left only white or bright blue...
