I was proud to see one MG5 EV at Mdina.

My grantfather got a Bakelite table tray from American army surplus store after WW2. The tray was in my childhood life for meals every day. It is still a part of my parents daily life for their meals. I used that tray when I visited my parents two weeks ago. There was no chip, crack or even...

My highest number is 4.8 on ZS LR for 600 miles in summer. 5.4 is for two return trips of total 150 miles.

Thanks for the comment. I did disable auto hold. I normally parked on steep down hill driveway. It is scary to use accelerator to move. I need to "learn" controlling of auto hold?

I have 2023 ZS LR too. I press brake pedal harder for reducing power consumption after car is completely stopped. I believe car is trying to creep forward when brake is gently pressed.

My worries were opposite. If my wife and I are both sitting in car, I do not wish both phone are paired at same time. It is good to know that the car has the behavior that I expected to see.

I managed to get "keyless start" working using iSmart on ZS Trophy Connect this week. I went for swimming twice. For reducing items to carry, I did not bring MG key fob. I used iSmart to open the door. I presses "keyless start" on iSmart before normal start. There was no problem when I left...

ZS EV Trophy seat is comfortable. It is with lips on side to hold driver body more secure. Because the thin lips on side of seat are high, it can be rubbed hard when getting into the car. The damage looks like printed coat on fabric wore out instead of cracking. Would you confirm? I will raise...

Complete agree.

The range is almost achievable. I repeated to get 5.5 miles/kWh between London and Southend-on-Sea several times. I drove 77.6miles round trip with 20% battery charge used the day before yesterday. I was following cars on slow lane at 50 miles/h speed on 70 miles/h dual carriageway. London to...

2023 Reg ZS EV LR 10000km 500 day check: Range 635km 394 miles in ECO mode.

I am a happy driver owning a 2023 MG ZS EV Trophy Connect LR with 10,000km on the clock. I plan to keep the car for next 15 years. I drove gently with average 15.1 kWh/100km for past 16 months. Efficiency can be reached to 11.4 kWh/100km repeatly. Most people who enjoy speed and comfort won't...

I always use KERS 3. I was driving in normal mode with 3.9 miles per kWh efficiency in the first 8 months. I started using ECO when winter came. I just reached 10000km today with 15.1kWh/100km electric efficiency. My round trip from London to Southend was with 11.4kWh/100km efficency or...

You are a good ECO driver in good weather. ZS LR City range is 370 miles. It can be achieved with following tips: - gentle acceleration using less than 20% power when it is sensible - steady speed driving - keep distance for avoiding braking - slowing down using acceleration pedal only when...

I think you can just put on seat belts for dummies as if they are sitting there?.
