If I set drive to E tegen to 3 and switch off HVAC completely a full charge indicates anout 170 miles ( summer) 145 winter but of course this is not real as i always have AC or heater on and rarely drive in E mode. Saying that i also never travel more than 130 miles in a day and always recharge...

You clearly either have a faulty car or just dont like it,. Either way get rid of it instead of moaning on here and go back to ICE as EV is too difficult for you to understand.

First question is were you actually getting 170-180 miles or was that just an indication? If its a mk1 thay are only optimistically claimed WLTP mileage of 160 in eco mode, so displaying full charge range of 150 in normal mode is expected. Mine has always been charged on a home fast 7kW charger...

I use adaptive cruise on every journey, even urban, though it can be too intrusive, especially around bends, and i find auto brake far too sensitive but cant change it. HVAC adjustment i again use every journey, probably more than any other control. Next most used is adjustments to power (E, N...

What about the "driver aids"? I have them permanently switched of as they are too intrusive. Starting to drive an MG4 is like flying a jumbo jet with the setting up within menus that you have to do. I want to get in and drive, not spend time disabling things first.

Neither does it mean you are. As i said a large part of my objection is that having to operate a touch screen when driving with your left hand (most people are right handed! ) is far more distracting and dangerous, just as much as using a mobile phone.

So you must have been very unlucky with your ZS. Which model is it? My 2021 ZS EV has been totally faultless in 2 years. Range still an accurate 150 to 170 miles depending on settings. Winter drops by around 20 miles but all EVs do. Indicator click noise is muted if seatbelt warning is...

Compare it with the new Kia Niro and the Hyundai Sportage/Kona. Thats the way to incorporate modern.

So who cares whether it is NCAP 5 or 4 or 3, certainly not me.

Euro NCAP scores are a total irrelevance and play no part whatsoever in my choice of vehicle. How comfy the seats are and how easy to use the controls are far more important. Totally irrelevant! Dont care what the NCAP rating is, in fact making these things harder to adjust is far more...

Euro NCAP rules !!?? Thought we'd left the EU and would abandon EU regulations! Just another Brexit lie then. BTW my 2021 ZS EV doesnt default to LKA etc on thank goodness! Just one of the (many) reasons along with horrible cheap interior why I wouldn't have an MG4.

Looks like you've rubbed it with a belt buckle or something abrasive when getting in and out of the car. Material should be more robust than that though.

Maybe true but at the moment electricity is over 4 times the cost per kW of gas. Also minimum temp for domestic hot water (to ensure no legionella) and for a HOT bath is greater than 60 celcius. Not sure if heat pump can achieve that.

Switch off HVAC with automatically puts into recirc mode (orange on) then press recirc button to activate airflow into car (orange light off). gives small amount of airflow depending on car speed.

Correct. I am on Octopus go and only charge at home and at night. The only true way of calculating real cost is to acknowledge that daytime use IS more expensive and average the total cost. On my calc my actual cost for electricity is 27p per kWh overall. My night useage is about 40% of total...

7.5p overnight is only actual if day rate is no higher than std rate. The Tory govt have abandoned any commitment to CO2 reduction. They removed the new EV purchase grant incentive (originally £5,000 now Zero).

A good driver doesnt need 4wd to avoid wheelspin. And as i said only car i ever had to take care to avoid wheelspin was a very powerful rwd BMW. You're confusing a tractor which is 4wd with a road vehicle which doesn't need it. 99.9% of the time they just use more fuel and make more pollution...

What? Not a rwd! Must be terrible to drive with the front wheels being driven! What SUV is that?

Having driven both I disagree, and you have your view but its nothing to do with the 4 being rear wheel drive. Good luck finding a rwd SUV suitable for your disabled wife. BTW even BMW have gone to fwd on the new 1 series which is acknowledged to be a fine handling car.

Nonsense! Why is it that ALL the fast and powerful hot hatches are front wheel drive. You telling me that an MG4 is better handling and a better drive than a Civic Type R? And its because its rear wheel drive? Get a grip!
