It's a fair point. But this speaks to the problem with EVs being as much software as hardware. Everybody knows software is never released perfect and requires a continuous update programme but that is hard when you can't do or risk OTA. I don't know what the solution is other than to suggest...

Unfortunately you can't fit two children in the back :), or charge it from my fancy new 22kW EV charger I'm getting next week.

Second hand i4. Newer than the MG, old enough to have undergone a significant amount of depreciation for an M Sport with pretty much everything bar the adaptive headlights (which don't work, because no adaptive headlights can work on the twisty roads around here). All for slightly more than the...

Yeah. Mine is going back in a few weeks. Although with respect to the above I've had no issues with the charging or the AC once you adjust for the temperature offset and the software update fixed the DAB to the extent it only fails one journey in 10, rather than every journey. But the LKA is...

I had software updates applied in August of 2024. But not the LKA improvements and since last August nobody has bothered to contact me (or respond to my contact) to install them.

Another absolutely terrifying and random AEB event yesterday after several months of good behaviour. Was crossing into the Tesco carpark when it triggered after thinking the car about 100m away and travelling at about 20mph was going to hit me. This left my car straddled across the centre lane...

Yes - this is my experience. What the safety logic is I'm not sure, maybe to avoid the chances of people leaning in and starting on a slope without sitting down so the car runs away?

Nobody else with this problem? It's been going on for a while now and attempts to contact the dealer are fruitless. they don't reply to emails.

Mine has recently developed this despite no software updates since last year. 9 times out of 10 the boot won't open for the last few weeks and it is incredibly frustrating. Any fixes other than calling the dealer on Monday?

Are they doing recalls in the UK as well then, not just the EU?

I believe the software and firmware is likely the same, but the issue is that the climate, sunlight and roads are very different and the system has essentially been built for an environment where roads are wide, without narrow bends, and don't have dappled shadows from trees or frequent patches...

And also that a tight grip on the wheel isn't sufficient to prevent the car jerking when the LKA kicks in. I strongly suspect that the disclaimer in the manual wouldn't stand up in court should the LKA be found to have contributed to an accident. Things don't necessarily become true when you...

Mine has never made a sound at low speed. You can hear it because of the tyre noise or the slight whine from the motor, but there's no other alert.

I've been waiting 14 months for a replacement housing for the rear camera (damaged, but not significantly by someone else - their insurance is covering it). Still haven't got it in stock apparently. I suspect I'll have returned the car at the end of the PCP before it's ever fixed...

I'm getting really put off by a lack of care and attention (or just plain dishonesty) from MG customer services in terms of software fixes. The car is fine, and mine has had no significant issues with build quality or anything like that, but MG's inability to improve their software, whether it's...
