Exactly as siteguru said. The Radio Frequency Interference Safety Case doesn’t currently allow for devices with those frequencies and powers to be near equipment. In reality it would almost certainly be ok, but work has to be done to prove it first. (Which will happen, as everything you buy...

Have to leave it completely off site in the car unfortunately, which is a pain for many reasons. It’s a nuclear power station.

No, I can’t. That’s why I said “in my own personal case”. I’m not allowed to have my mobile phone with me at work.

You don't miss what you never had, but going backwards in terms of functionality is often annoying. It obviously also depends on your use case. If you don't do the same journey at the same time 5 days a week it's obviously pretty irrelevant. In my own personal case, it also now means I can't...

Being able to set a schedule for cabin pre-heating / pre-cooling is one thing I definitely miss from my previous EV. It’s frustrating as it would have been an easy thing to implement on the app.

EU regs require the brake lights to come on above a certain deceleration rate. I can’t remember what the number is, but obviously in the MG4 whether it comes on will depend on regen level and battery level.

I struggle to believe for a second that something with the mass of the caliper covers could cause the level of vibration being talked about by some people. On that note, I've had my Xpower since Monday and I'm not entirely sure if I have the vibration issue under discussion here or not. I do...

Everyone loves a good 50/50 shot. My old Audi R8 looked like it'd been washed by Trigger with his broom. I enjoyed that one as the difference was amazing in the sun

My existing car is black, so nothing is worse than that to look after. Plus I’m fairly well equipped to keep cars looking their best….

I expect I’ll notice it to some degree, as I’m quite sensitive to what a car is doing. It’s more a case of exactly how annoying it is and how often I can feel it on my daily commute. Mine is white, as I wasn’t willing to pay extra for a different colour, so that left only white or bright blue...

Well I had the phone call today to say that they will be coming on 22nd April to take away my Peugeot e2008 and drop off my X-power. (They're both through a salary sacrifice lease arrangement) Looking forward to a change, and fingers crossed mine is one of the better ones in terms of annoying...

That is not correct. In July 2022 new EU regulations were introduced to make them mandatory. https://www.interregs.com/articles/spotlight/eu-regulation-on-emergency-lane-keeping-systems-published-000229

1 Bar is 14.5 psi. It's one standard atmosphere which is 14.7psi.

If it makes people feel any better, a friend at work has just received her new Mercedes EQ(something). I asked her how it was, and one of the first things she mentioned was that it had a really annoying 'lane assist thing', and that she had to turn it off every single time she got in the car.

Just reading through this thread and noticed your comment about not being able to schedule cabin pre-heating. That's really disappointing, considering it's a feature that's really easy to implement and is also one big advantage of EVs. I'm sure when it arrives I'll prefer my Xpower to my...

At the end of the day they are all made up terms without definition. Warm hatch, Hot hatch, sports car, super car, hyper car. People will argue over those definitions on the internet all day long, but it doesn’t matter. With your car history though I’d be very interested to hear your personal...

For SOME people, possibly. For people who do care about driving dynamics, or who are genuinely shopping for a hot hatch then those reviews are very useful and those reviewers opinions are important. That’s why you need to look at different reviews depending on what you’re looking for in a car...

I'd say there's a bit more to it than that. When it comes to 'drivers cars' (something which hot hatches are ideally supposed to be), then there are multiple things which in isolation seem small, but in overall combination can have a big effect on the driving experience for people who are...

Exactly. It’s literally not an issue at all. There are only two realistic scenarios: 1) You get a warning that a tyre has a significant loss of pressure so bad you need to stop. As soon as you get out and look around the car it will be obvious which one it is. 2) You have a minor loss of...

Well I've never had a car where you get multiple annoying chimes. You don't program the car to limit how many times can alarm in a set time period, that would be a silly way of doing it. What you do with any half decent alarm or control system is to program in hysteresis as already mentioned...
