Seems that if the contents of the userid field changes, it assumes you're a new owner instead of telling you that the login is invalid but instead of telling you that, it just goes to the vehicle bind screen...

I really HATE this iSmart app. Tried to use it this morning and it's decided that the token has expired and I need to log in again, it also wants me to rebind to the car. Who thought of this nonsense? --edit-- Ok, the rebind demand was because it messed up the userid field and decided I was a...

I always have my XPower in Custom - sport for the power, heaviest setting for the steering which is still far too light and a standard setting for the brakes which are too grabby in sport (you only need to glance at the brake pedal and it stands the car on its nose). If I'd wanted range I...

Think earlier cars had the issue in spades. Later ones, seem clear or very much reduced. Mine was built around March 2024 and seems to be relatively free of the issue - just a barely perceptible tingle starting about 65mph. I don't notice it unless I'm on a particularly smooth bit of road -...

In general, people seem to really like the car but aren't too impressed with the dealers. I haven't had any interactions with the dealers yet, apart from the one I bought the car from so I can't really judge. They're all efficient when it comes to selling...

I found the MG remarkably uncomfortable. Took me ages to get the seat and wheel in a position where I didn't feel as if I was contorting to both be relaxed and able see see whare I was going. It's still not perfect and I wonder if they designed it for drivers with different proportions to most...

Checked it specifically again today. Got in and checked the screen, OPD on. Pressed the brake pedal, OPD still on. Switched to custom mode as is my custom (ahem), OPD still on. If yours doesn't do this, I'd better not let a dealer anywhere near it!

Hmm. That must depend on the model. My XPower remembers the OPD setting. The only thing that cancels it is accidentally activating snow mode (!) I always use it on my MG, for consistency, because my Tesla has OPD which can't be disabled. I quite like it, actually. Once I got used to OPD I...

I haven't had that issue with mine. It's just your now standard noisy (random bongs and beeps) modern computerised nanny masquerading as a car.

Hmm. Not seen that on my XPower. I wonder if it has different settings, or maybe I just didn't notice :p Some cars refuse to move again for about 30 seconds after what they consider a harsh or emergency stop. That has to be the most stupid idea ever - leaving you stranded in the middle of the...

I haven't managed to do this but I have to say I really don't like that little flappy switch on the top of the stalk. It's like they think they have to keep redesigning things for the sake of it. I can't even see the damn thing behind the steering wheel without shifting in the seat. A nice...

I prefer the manual wipers on my MG4. I had to turn the auto-wipers on the Tesla off because they're infuriatingly bad. They either do nothing or wipe like the end of the world is coming. My old Focus ST was the same with it's auto-wipers, almost completely useless.

I leave OPD on for familiarity. I can't turn it off in the Tesla.

Mine did something strange this morning. OPD working fine on the approach to a roundabout but I needed to stop to give way to a vehicle that was crossing so I gently applied the brakes - nothing. Pressed a bit harder - still nothing. Pressed really hard and the thing stood on its nose. I've...
