I can only agree to this. The MG4 feels absolutely well-set and steady for a car of its size. The only complaint I have is a rather strong susceptibility to crosswinds. That said my car has been on Michelin Cross Climates from day one, because summer tyres wouldn't work here in the winter.
If you want to feel “twitchy” try a BMW i3 in windy conditions (otherwise excellent car) - that’ll keep your mind focused on the road ahead
Yes it does catch the wind for some reason, at 1.5m its a good 100mm taller than my last daily driver, a seat leon est which was a car that tracked straight and true in comparison.
Yep, I'll second that! It took me a while to adjust to the steering on our old i3. Loved the car, mind you. After that, I find the MG4 really well planted and relaxing to drive - not at all tiring on long journeys.If you want to feel “twitchy” try a BMW i3 in windy conditions (otherwise excellent car) - that’ll keep your mind focused on the road ahead

Similar miles, but not a lot of wear, which i beleive is part of the problem - the compound may be a little too hard - i put on michelin crossclimates on my previous car (VW 2008 Tiguan - current a spare! - as just couldn't sell it), great in the winter, but the cross climates wore down twice as fast as "european" continentals & and they were a little stetchy in heavy rain due to aquaplaning - they key thing with the MG4 is that in winter / wet (todate), just be a little careful in accelerating out of bends - i.e only hit the accelerator on straight roads!
Small price to pay for safety. My car with CC2's on is even more pleasurable to drive.
I've seen recommendations on forums to run higher than manufacturer recommended tyre pressures to increase range, but this comes at the expense of grip, comfort and possibly tyre noise also.
Definitely needs mud flaps me thinksI’m running at 2.7bar all round and haven’t had any grip issues on the standard tyres (except when forcing it to step out on roundabouts and sweeping bends). I’ve recently been doing a regular 105 mile round trip on some fun A roads, A272, A34, A30, and some narrow B roads, early morning with frost and ice and the return wet and patchy. No problem with quick overtakes and throttle control through quick turns and sweeping corners, even when testing the grip levels to lose grip on purpose it’s felt stable and controlled. Straight line stability under hard acceleration and at speed it also very good, very similar feedback and ride as the BMW i4 I had for a 4 day test drive. You can improve on the standard fit tyres on most cars but they are definitely not dangerous. Oh and my wipers are good too, work how they should even in the nasty winter weather.

Ha, they arrived from AliExpress yesterday so will fit them tomorrowDefinitely needs mud flaps me thinks
Nice one, I've bought so much stuff from them in the past two months, all I need now is the carHa, they arrived from AliExpress yesterday so will fit them tomorrow
I also have…….. a set of speakers ready to install (amp to follow), bonnet struts (will make a custom fit frunk), luxury boot liner, rear interior lights, roof rack, tow barNice one, I've bought so much stuff from them in the past two months, all I need now is the car
, traded the MG5 in for it which I previously swapped the MG ZS for Let us know how you get on - similar situation (very unclean car), my mud flaps arrived before christmas!Ha, they arrived from AliExpress yesterday so will fit them tomorrow
- which still need fitting... again likewise let us know how you get on the the bonnet struts, roof rack? & towbar!I also have…….. a set of speakers ready to install (amp to follow), bonnet struts (will make a custom fit frunk), luxury boot liner, rear interior lights, roof rack, tow bar
I do already have the car though
Hm, not sure that's true here in France. Our MG4 came fitted with Continental tyres, which certainly aren't downmarket and currently work very well (albeit on a brand-new car – I'll have to report back after a few 1000 kms of driving!).
