    Would you buy an MG 4 again?

    I leave the air conditioning on all the time as it is a dehumidifier and removes the mist from the inside of the car on cold days and warm humidity on warm days. I just set the temperature I want and if the air needs directing to the wind screen to demist the press the demist button.
