Any one compared to an MG5? I was thinking of changing but was hoping for better economy, 70mph is around 3.4 on most motorways, had thought the MG4 would be lighter and lower so might beat that but seems not? Hopefully test drive on a road I know will soon to see for myself, everyone drives...

I only ever really use S mode, prefer the throttle response, more control. Only use E for parking for the light steering, would love the custom mode to just switch the steering at times for tight spaces. Zero difference in energy consumption, I find E throttle to be a bit scary, sudden power...

Not wishing to go into your finances but if you don't have a mortgage it would surely be much cheaper to re-mortgage and buy the car with that?

I'm not 100% sure, just used ABRP and imported into google maps but I did use the Exter service ones out and in and they worked well both times, just contactless. 35p KW/h and fast.

I always hated filling my old car up at the pump, raining, out of my way, just annoying. On this trip I actually charged longer than I needed to because I was in the middle of watching a video on youtube. The main thing I love though is the 108 KWh I've added for free at Tesco Podpoints!

Of course even though I tried not to I did feel a little smug driving past the huge queues to closed off petrol stations (which surprisingly didn't cause any traffic jam issues)

I did my first long drive, 600 mile round trip, Cornwall to London and didn't have any problems with charging stations, I traveled at night on the way there but during the day on the way back, two stops both ways and got a charging point each time without waiting and just used by debit card...

I have the affinity deal. They've lent me a cable anyway though until the MG ones arrive

2-3 hours at a 7kwh supermarket charger will do me for most weeks at the moment so works out pretty good seen as it's on my way home anyway.

I've not got a home charger yet, waiting for a smart meter install next month. They've lent me a Type 2 as there are delays on them, finding it very useful at the local tesco stores for the free charge.

One could build an app that used the car stereo for active noise cancellation, record the noise at different speeds and then get it to phase reverse through the speakers at those speeds, would only be needed above 50mph as it's super quiet below that. I've got a long journey coming up...

Cheers, not there, I'll drop them a message.

Thanks, just thought I would check. In the email thread when ordering it said it would include the Type 2 but I wanted to check that this wasn't the granny charger, I'll drop them a message. Where is the Type 2 usually stored, just in case I've missed it?

Hi all, I've just got my MG5, loving it so far and finding I can easily get 4+ mile per kwh driving around the Cornish country roads (Cornwall is pretty bad for efficiency in general, lots of little hills, always knocked my MPG down compared to the rest of the south of England) Quick...
