Skoda Enyaq, it's amazing.

To be fair I find that this applies to most EV's and not specifically MG. My wife used to have a Corsa Electric and the service she had from Vauxhall was truly awful. My manager has a Mercedes EV and his car went back to the dealer 3 months after he received it (lost all drive) and took them 7...

My solution was a bit drastic in that I swapped my 5FL for another EV. I'm lucky that it was a company car so I didn't have to take a loss but the change has highlighted further just how noisy the MG5 was. My new EV has zero wind noise even above 70mph and road noise is very well damped on all...

I had experience of EV from my wife's previous Corsa e but the 5 was the first one I drove regularly. By no means a bad car but just not right for me. However, if the rumours are true about the next 5 being based on the MG4 then that would be of interest.

After 14 months and 30,000 miles I'm swapping my MG5 Trophy for a Skoda Enyaq. Its a company car and the Enyaq was always my first choice but unfortunately as I placed my order it was removed from the options list. The MG5 has been fine, really reliable, well appointed, good performance and...

Compared to my MG5 Trophy my wife's MG4 Trophy is miles better, quieter, more comfortable, better to drive, better quality, much more modern. MG are also supposedly updating the interior next year giving it a more saloon car interior (the centre console is one of the few things I don't like in...

Legally you don't have to use a repairer recommended by your insurance company, you can use a repairer of your choosing however you will normally have to pay the bill yourself and then obtain a refund from your insurers.

Good luck with your job search, never nice facing redundancy.

Another vote for Chipex, I bought for my 72 plate Trophy and its spot on.

Thanks for clarifying, that must have been a quite recent change as I was looking about 3 months ago and they were still Intelligent and Go at that time. In the end we went with British Gas EV tariff because neither the MG5 or our Podpoint charger were compatible with Intelligent. The BG tariff...

Intelligent and Go are different tariffs. To get Intelligent you need either a compatible car or charger (or both). The MG5 is not compatible so you need to have a charger that is - e.g. Zappi. If you have neither you cannot choose Octopus Intelligent but can have Octopus Go.

You will need to wait until you receive the car as you need to scan the QR code. I assume its the facelift version?

Never seen an option on MG5 app to set heated seats, only HVAC

I installed a Nextbase into my FL Trophy using their hardwired kit. You can see more in the thread I posted about it including photos. Thread 'Fitted dascam in MG5 Trophy' Fitted dascam in MG5 Trophy

The MG5 is not very well insulated, probably more cost cutting. Both road and wind noise above 50 are much more noticeable on the 5 than my previous ICE car and even my wife's Corsa electric is quieter which I think dispels other comments that it's more noticeable due to the lack of engine noise.

The voice control only works with Android Auto or Apple Carplay, no control over Bluetooth.

It sounds like you may have a faulty AA Box. Since I bought mine it stays plugged in and connects immediately every time, in fact it will connect before I've even started the car.

I've driven one of the new ICE Astras and was really impressed. My wife's currently got the Corsa electric and was waiting for this to be launched. The RRP is high but from past experience Vauxhall dealers normally offer decent discounts so I would expect to be able to buy for about £35k. I...

I believe there is a way of doing it if you root your phone - not something I'm willing to do, but I havent yey found a way of doing it on stock Android.

I don't know about watching netflix etc, I've got a wireless AA box and it only does the same as the wired AA.
