    First long trip in MG4

    I know people have previously reported on their "long trip" experiences, and having had the MG4 a couple of months going no further than 60 miles from home, I was looking forward to seeing what sort of experience taking it on holiday would be. Warwick to Seaton in Devon. Actually only 160...

    Driving Roads

    Had family over visiting recently, so we've been doing the Montana-Sofia mountain pass a couple of times, and have to say the ZS is one of the best cars I've driven on the road. (Dare say there would be better electric cars for it), over the years I've driven the road in everything from Puegoet...

    Suddenly all was well

    Tomorrow will be three weeks since we collected Goth Leo, our MG4 SE LR. We have already done nearly 1400 miles. This forum was very helpful as we stepped up to make the decision whether or not to buy Goth Leo, but there was one aspect of it that I was aware of, and that is, in general, folk...

    So since a few people have done this so shall I. I'd already ordered the chargemap card, the crit'air sticker and the only thing i'd order now is the toll tag. Previous driving experience in Europe was about 15 years ago when I'd driven a Vito from UK to Milan via Zurich. Planned a roadtrip...

    Scottish road trip

    Got back earlier today from a 2-week road trip to Scotland with stops in Edinburgh, Inverness, Isle of Skye, Fort William and Loch Lomond. My HS PHEV is only a few months old with most of the mileage done in EV mode prior to the road trip so had a good opportunity to run the petrol engine in...

    Infrastructure rant- 1st long road trip disaster (long one)

    So I bought my ZS EV end of May and it has been amazing for doing my 60-mile round trip to work. However, I recently went on my first long road trip from Hull to Newcastle and then on to Edinburgh and back. Every journey was a disaster. So I planned my route, had plenty of stops so that I...
