    Terrible default Tyres

    I find wheel spinning a bit of a problem, there doesnt seem much traction and even moderate acceleration can cause a spin. Of course having all that torque does encourage a bit of a rapid start..

    Warranty vs Mileage vs Battery

    Yes, the smart mechanics will be thinking about how to capture the market. Older vehicles are their bread and butter, a surprising amount of people service cars in warranty via the dealer. Once we start getting volumes of old EVs the process will become more common.

    Driving with my Flap open

    Did it twice Within the first few weeks of ownership. Not since. Handy routine someone mentioned on here or on Facebook, take out the charger, don’t focuse on putting the head on the charger or putting it back, make inserting the rubber and closing the flap on the car as always the very first...

    Eeking out range

    Having bought my mg5 in the week it snowed on November, I was more than a little miffed, even though I knew to expect it that the long range was really only about 180 miles at zero degrees, and that’s driving carefully.

    Warranty vs Mileage vs Battery

    With no mechanical understanding of how the batteries are accessed in the mg5, is the process designed to be easily done? It sounds like something beyond the skills of a fitter at a dealer.

    Rapid charger not very rapid!

    12.5kw power would probably equate to what we got.

    Displayed range at 100% charge

    Even 215 miles in todays weather is very optimistic. I‘m a 1000 miles in and I’ve yet to get over 180 miles on a full charge.

    Rapid charger not very rapid!

    I was able to get to Lancaster services. It charged fine there.

    Rapid charger not very rapid!

    It was quite cold, but i was at 13% battery. Would 15kwph charge be considered normal with that amount of battery left and it been about 1C?

    Rapid charger not very rapid!

    there seems to be complaints of it not been very fast, 37kwph instead of stated 120kwph. But nothing (other than my comments now) about 15kwph. terrible thing was this was first rapid charge, our first long journey in the car, and wife was with me. I could feel the “you said an all electric...

    The 'Three Cars' icon

    Ive been using this, its a little bit scary, especially on a roundabout, you need to have your wits about you. The car began to launch onto the roundabout as a car was coming round to my right.

    about 180 on mine.... Only 12 days in though.

    250 miles.... NOT!

    My qashqui has done 36,000 miles, 1.5 diesel 2018, the combined mpg on the odometer withou ever been reset is 62mpg, I don’t think that’s far off the official rating. I worked out it ran at about 10p a mile, with the mg5 been 1.2p a mile if I charge between 12:30 and 04:30 and about 3.5p a mile...

    250 miles.... NOT!

    The more efficient ICE cars have got the more it is noticed. In the past there was so much heat generated from the engines that it was sufficient to heat the cabin, but i understand that auxiliary heaters are now becoming more and more common as the engine becomes more and more efficient.

    Volume between car play and infotainment

    Is that true? i though I had turned up the volume to full before connecting. I’ll try tomorrow.

    Volume between car play and infotainment

    Anyone else seen a way of changing the volume independent of each other? The volume on carplay needs to be increased to play music/podcasts/ take calls. But that means when the car is switched on and it defaults to the infotainment i end up with a very loud absolute radio/radio4. If i then turn...
