    My Android Auto problem solved ?

    Not sure. It was definitely a software update to Android 12 that killed AA on my machine.

    My Android Auto problem solved ?

    Pretty much the same. I had OK Android Auto on my Oneplus, but after an update it stopped working completely. And it’s not just an MG thing. My MX5 is really bad for almost all Android phones (my wife’s Samsung works on the MG but not the Mazda), but iPhone was so simple I didn’t even have to...

    Had my MG5 a week already

    Glad you’re enjoying it. As someone who has had a car for a year and 10,000 miles, the only other advice I would give is: If you keep it at 60, you’ll get a lot better range than driving at 70 or 80. If you have a heavy right foot, then prepare to shell out for a set of front tyres after a...

    Roll on Friday afternoon pick up time

    Hope you enjoy your new car. Had mine a year now and honestly, part ex-ing by V70 for this was one of the best decisions I ever made.

    Bit of reassurance for the MG5

    I’d probably say that’s slight hogwash. The materials are soft touch and quite nice, but they won’t age well. You would probably look at the unpleasant hard plastics in older MGs if you want durability. But I don’t want to dump on the id3. It’s still a good car for the price point. You see a...

    Bit of reassurance for the MG5

    My neighbour has an id3. I have an MG5. I like both and would be happy with either TBH, but they are different. The VW has a nicer ride and is a bit more dynamic. It also has nicer tech, which is probably more of a thing for you, Tweed. On the downside, it's a lot more expensive and there is a...

    MG5 vs Skoda Enyaq - three in the back

    I have to say, the Enyaq is a lovely car and I had three Skodas in a row before my current MG, all of which were faultless. But I know others on here have had problems, and the price difference is huge. Had the MG5 for a year now - just the basic spec short-range one, but it's so relaxing...

    The one really irritating thing about the MG5...

    Oh yes. Did the first one once. Was fortunately only a couple of miles, but was still silly.

    The one really irritating thing about the MG5...

    Had my MG5 for about a year now. Really happy, but there are a couple of things that make me scream: The radio coming on at startup whether you like or not. The screen having a five second delay before telling you that you put your lights on dipped/main beam. Android Auto having a flap since...

    This can only mean one thing!

    My neighbour had the unlooping going as his house and the house next-door had this problem. Was quite an issue getting organised, but the actual job only took a couple of days, mostly related to digging the trenches.

    MG5 owners only. Post on here what you think of the car.

    Before lockdown, I was doing 80 miles a day/400 miles a week round-trip commuting to work. It was costing me over £250 a month in diesel.

    Regen. when braking - how?

    It's not the brakes, but the regen is likely to contain a generator that will convert the kinetic energy into electricity.

    Granny charging - only option - will it be enough?

    I do a round trip of about 80 miles, and it basically takes half the battery (all motorway) when weather was OK. I used to find it would take 12 to 13 hours to charge up from that. Have a wallbox now, but would maybe check you have enough time at home to charge. Or occasionally top up at a...

    How much are you paying for insurance?

    Just got a renewal. Three years NCR (I had a bump four years ago) and I was quoted £260 by Admiral with £0 additional excess.

    What's your miles per kw? (Poll)

    Every time I do a trip, it seems to rain heavily and need a/c + lights on, so I've been getting somewhere round 3.2. Also probably doesn't help that I drive in normal instead of eco mode and have Regen set to 3.

    clock time out by an hour

    I didn't use the car on Sunday, but it was definitely out Monday morning. Suspect it changed a week early. This used to be a common problem on the LW signal, which would sometimes forget to change. As the old economy 7 timers would sometimes rely on this, we would get lots of angry customers...

    Have MG been naughty releasing MG5 LR just one year after they introduced MG5

    I don't think so, mainly because the tech from EVs is evolving so much faster than piston cars. You're going to see fairly hefty annual increments in most cars for the next three or four years.

    How long did you wait?

    Went to order a LR just over a week ago and was told Jan. Took a short-range instead as they had one in stock.

    MG5 LR Exclusive - How much did you pay?

    Think when we went to buy a week ago, we were being told that orders on LRs weren't coming in until January now.

    Show off your car on collection day thread?

    Picked mine up on Thursday from MG Richmond in Portsmouth. Only the Excite, but I couldn't be happier with it.
