    What's the missing button?

    OK so on the early models shown in reviews there were three switches entitled MODE, KERS and BATTERY. Now there are three switches but only marked up as MODE, KERS and blank. Nothing in the manual about it so assume it is redundant. Anyone know what this was all about?

    Making Phone calls

    Having been able to receive and make calls remotely by steering wheel controls on my previous ICE, am I correct in thinking you cannot make remote calls on MG5, only receive this way?

    Are you tired of your tyres?

    What does everyone think of their MG5's tyres? Has anyone had to do an emergency stop and if so how well did you stop? Since I've had my car I've wheel span it a couple of times, in the wet, coming out of junctions. I'm not sure how much is me needing to get used to the extra power of the car...

    Heating ventilation noise

    I picked up my new MG5 last weekend 30th Jan and I am really enjoying the car. I have noticed a loud humming noise from the ’engine’ bay, which you can also hear from inside the cabin. I can only hear it when stationary, say on the drive way. When I press the Heating control On/Off button on...

    MG5 Arrived

    Well, the new MG5 was delivered today with a total of 5 miles on the clock. Managed to take it out earlier this afternoon, on official company business and have to say I'm suitably impressed so far. Steering is very light with little feedback through the wheel, but I can get used to that. Nice...
