In the end, I chickened out of buying a demo model and since I could not find a brand new SZ immediately available, I bought a eNiro 4+. Cost me 38k, so roughly 6k more than the SZ. I may still decide to put an order for a brand new SZ and part exchange it in 6 months. Thank you all for your...

Auto dim is minor anyhow in my criteria, I only gave it a weight of 2. It does take away another thing to think about (it's only when I get blinded that I think of switching a manual mirror). Auto lane keep however is a feature that I Iook forward to. I sometimes have to drive long distances at...

Just to confirm: they are offering you Long Range Trophy trim?

Got a call from my local dealer. The good news is there are cars available "very soon" but need to be sold asap. The bad news is that they are the short range ones, and there is no visibility at all about the long range timelines.

I mentionned in another thread that my local dealer said they had a call this PM with MG about stock availability, so could be that some stock has arrived.

The infotainment is only warrantied for 3 years? Same for the driver aids (which are safety aids!). Is that standard to all companies? How does it compare to Kia's 7 year, do they also have a ton of exclusions?

Are the charger all the same in terms of quality and safety? How decent is the Hive one (I already have my heating on Hive, so might make sense to consolidate my apps). Or should I go with whatever my power supplier offers? Would you recommend tethered or untethered?

I tweaked my criteria and their importance and cleared some of the unknowns. The overall message is the same: The MG ZS EV is by large the most rational choice for my needs, the Kia a close second, and the Teslas, although on paper better on most dimension is hampered by its price, warranty and...

Odd, I couldn't see the option to add the heat pump on their online car builder (must say though their car builder is horrible) so assumed it was standard on the 4. Otherwise yes it is a dilemma. 9-10k more is a lot. You could argue that even over 10 years, its probably only 6k more as the...

Guaranteeeing? In writing with penalties? That may shift the needle for me to Kia. Does anyone know here if real world consumption (miles per kwh) is materially different or similar between the MG ZS and the Niro EV? I am guessing there will be a difference in winter since the Kia has a heat pump?

I asked a dealer if they got some new EZ EV arriving in their stock,.they said they only received ICE cars in the last shipment. Maybe an unlucky dealer or a different boat.

What are the checks I should do and questions I should ask the dealer if I were to buy a used or demo car (likely long range trophy)? Anything specific to look out for (I know there is the fast charging problem)? Do they need to do a factory reset to remove all the settings the drivers may have...

Yes, however since the only way to fit a Tesla in my budget is to get 2019 or 2020 models, which means only 1-2 years left and maybe 20k miles. Buying from Tesla would give an extra year / 10k miles. Drivetrain would not be extended, so 5 years.

So if I buy a demo model, I can ask about it? What is the exact question to ask?

I believe Kia has an extra 20k miles (100 vs 80)?

I am new to this forum and was thinking of buying a ZS but this problem is scaring me a bit as it is not just an annoyance. Tried to read everything but not sure I fully understand: what is the problem has the root cause been identified what are the solutions (if any) How common is it on recent...

Following some advice here, I made a comparator of my current options using the Importance I give to each item. While all the yellow boxes have yet to validated (including the reliability one which is an importance 9), I must say I am surprised how the Kia came back strongly. It is solid all...

Going through the forums, it seems the recent ZS EV models have a common issue with some superchargers where the car bricks itself? And nobody knows the reason but suspect the 12v battery? Has it been solved? Or one now needs to look for specific charger brands, making it even harder to plan...

Hi everyone For various reasons I have to change car. I have been a hybrid driver for 10+ years and was thinking of moving to EV in the next 2-5 years and then keep the car for 10 years. However a surge in catalytic theft has pushed my plans forward. When looking at my various criteria, price...
