    No drive on MGS5

    I think you are over thinking! Get in, put on your seatbelt. Foot on brake and go into D or R and go, just like in any other car. When convenient (there's no rush) swipe down and touch MG Pilot and Confirm. (Don't press the MGP button too long, or it will reset to default.) The worst that...

    ...and drive in the middle of the road. You know, sometimes these truly great innovative ideas come from the tiniest of seeds. I do hope this thread is preserved for posterity.

    No drive on MGS5

    I didn't want to post this because I was only 99% sure, but I have now tested it, and my car drives perfectly well without my seatbelt on.

    One month in and still enjoying the ride

    The thing that both amuses and slightly befuddles me is that if you offer a private motorist (i.e. someone who pays for their own fuel) the opportunity of going to a motorway service station and paying £1.75 as opposed to £1.35 in a normal petrol station, they will roll their eyes and say "no...

    I'm joining the S5 forum

    My price change from a 2012 3 litre Audi diesel estate with almost no residual value to a brand-new EV was about 20% with Direct Line, which I thought was really good value.

    July MGS5 deals

    I’m really glad I went for the Trophy. You get quite a package of technology for a relatively modest investment. They also seem, from comments on here, to be the more popular choice, by a margin, and that could impact resale value for the base model?

    Accesories Opinions

    www.mgclubs.com is also available. They are newer and smaller that Titan, but really nice customer service who are very keen to help the customer. A sweeping statement, but I would say that Titan is better for practical accessories and Clubs better for pimping, but there are many counter...

    Collision prevention

    In my mind, even if not in the design, the three gaps are based on time rather than distance.

    Adaptive Cruise Control had a bit of a moment!

    I wouldn't buy a car without AAC, not since 2012, I love it, though the S5's is much worse than the Audi's.

    MGS5 Auto Speed Limiter

    MGS5 Locking Wheel Bolts

    To be fair, "fullness" depends as much on the size of the bag as the number of bolts. I am away from home, so can't look.

    MGS5 Locking Wheel Bolts
