I don't know if this applies to you, but my contract/order form had a clause that said if th dealer can't deliver the car within 28 days of the estimated delivery date, the customer can request delivery. If they can't do it in a further seven days, the customer can void the contract, which would...

Happy to report that yesterday my deposit was returned to me. I wasn't contacted to let me know or anything like that, it just appeared. Previous to this I'd sent a formal email stating my case, basically invoking the distance selling legislation. I don't know if this is why they decided to...

Nothing yet. I'm in two minds now. They said they would call back, and haven't (something of a theme with them). The termination clause in the contract states that if the car can't be delivered within 28 days of the estimated delivery date then I can terminate without penalty. My worry is that...

So I'm currently in a debate with this dealer. I am trying to cancel my order (Grey Trophy) due to a change in circumstances. I am attempting to get back the £500 deposit and they have suddenly gotten a bit...slimy. Awaiting a call back in the next few days. Very much hoping they'll do the...

So I finally got a call back from these guys. It was not encouraging. First he said the deposits are non refundable. Then he said that dealers get charged a fee by MG for cancelling an order. Then he said there's another fee to pay for changing which customer a given car is destined for. Then I...

A change in circumstances is forcing me to cancel my grey MG4 Trophy order. Here's the situation. I ordered back in October with a delivery estimate on the order form of 31st January. £500 non refundable deposit. The order forms t&C's state that if 28 days passes after the delivery estimate...

I'm 34 with the soul of a 60 year old. 6 year old daughter. Grey Trophy on order. I think we're all vulnerable to a bit of badge snobbery, but I've also always had a soft spot for the Underdog/newcomer. (And yes I completely understand that SAIC is no underdog, but emotionally speaking, the...

Because I was foolish enough to name my account "TheTallOne". Whoops

6ft 7" here (I bow to our 6ft 9" giant above!). I found the car very comfortable on the test drive. Head room was good, and I found my left leg slotted in nicely. I was worried beforehand about bashing my knee on the island but it just didn't really happen somehow.

Hmm. Point taken. I wonder if, in the sunny uplands of the future, we might able to select our preferred noise from a few options. That wouldn't be so hard, would it? There's just something about the Whine that's in vogue that grinds my gears. Especially the one on the old E-Niro. Lordy.

I have to say I find the requirement for a noise at slow speeds absolutely ridiculous. The roads have been silently crawling with Prius's since 2008, and yet the bodies do not pile high. It just feels like yet more defensive scare-mongering by the EV haters...

It's a tough call between the Long Range and the Trophy. And Johnny Smith makes a good point that "this isn't really the sort of car that you spec out with all the bells and whistles". That said, we went for the Trophy, for two reasons. 1: Cameras & kit. My wife is not a confident driver and is...

Hi all. After some pestering my dealer (of an as yet undelivered car) has sent me the service schedule he has for their demo car. This only includes intervals and costs, rather than being itemized. But it's a start! There is a clearly a typo somewhere here because one column says 10000mile...

I haven't seen a Mégane in the flesh yet, but on camera it looks absolutely Fugly. What on earth possessed them with the front end design. Just...no. Now if they'd made a full EV version of the old Mégane, which to my mind had really solid styling, well, then I might be interested. Not this...

Well done OP. This is going to be a brilliant resource for new owners.
