    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    We kept the order in initially but a few weeks later the dealer called and said they had a Pebble Black LR ZS Luxury arriving in two weeks and did we want that? So we took the ZS to avoid an open-ended wait and, with the exception of a few niggles, it's a good car (but not a patch on the Marvel R).

    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    Hot I guess. I can only show and tell what the gom and odometer show. That said, it's Chinese so it could be following the party line and lying regardless

    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    I guess that's why evil never wins; don't own and never have owned a BMW (well, if you exclude the R50 anyhow). Fairly happy with one EV, until they invent one that can do 650km or more on a tank an EV will never be our only car.

    Autonomia de Marvel R

    WLTP is 402 kms. Probably best to look on the MG europe website and use google translate - the Marvel R is not available in the UK, so few have experience of it. -- WLTP = 402 kilómetros. Probablemente lo mejor es buscar en el sitio web de MG Europa y traducir en Google - el Marvel R no está...

    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    I Still remember the "why do they fit heated rear windscreens to Skodas? To keep your hands warm when pushing them" jokes the first time around, but since they came into the VW fold they really are very good - why pay 20% more for a VW badge when the Skoda is essentially the same car?

    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    That's a difficult question because each person's criteria differs. The quality is a huge step up from the ZS and 5 (even the new 5 that you guys in the UK won't get until later this year); it's a good attempt at edging into the premium sector but for us, it would only have been worth it if we...

    Marvel R middle touch screen experience

    Undoubtedly (although I think chopping up a 24"- 26" filter to get it to fit would look 'a bit naff'), but when paying the thick-end of €50k for a car, I should not have to. It's a very basic failing.

    Marvel R middle touch screen experience

    I'm torn on this to be honest, basically, I think it is. But here's why I'm torn. In our ICE cars I have to look down and to the right to adjust any of the HVAC, heated seats, radio buttons etc. because they are all buttons. Yes, a few of them I can do without glancing down as muscle memory...

    Marvel R middle touch screen experience

    In a word, no. After using it for three days I thought is was style over functionality and would be far better in a more 'standard' position. What bugged me most was that the angle it is at means to do anything on it you have to look away from the road and it catches the sunlight a lot making it...

    Marvel R - thoughts after three days of use

    Over the weekend we were lucky enough to have a Marvel R on loan to us for three days. As they are still somewhat of a rare beast I thought I'd spend a few moments to write down my thoughts, mainly this is a cathartic process to get everything we thought about it on paper so as we have so many...

    Marvel R V2L

    We live in a pretty sunny part of the world (>300 sunny days per year apparently) and solar is well embedded, but battery and storage is virtually unknown here and those that are offered are disgustingly expensive as to make it totally uneconomic. I really want to jump in, but the finances just...
