Having had several prior EVs, I am perhaps a bit more critical of the MG4 Trophy.
I'd buy it again, I am overall happy with it, but only in the context that several rivals have been discontinued or aren't available here yet. I think the next few years are going to be very interesting with the old ICE manufacturers going towards EV/EV only, and also other chinese manufacturers like BYD bringing models here, I think the MG4 is not going to look as good as it did. When it first landed a year ago, it was the only one with a similar range at this price point so it got a bit of a pass on it's issues, but that isn't going to last much longer.
Pros:
Decent battery
Reasonable drive
360 camera is nice
Cons:
Software overall
Lack of OTA/User downloadable software updates
TJA is borderline dangerous, LKA isn't too bad on latest updates
Lots of gloss plastics/cheap interior materials
Efficiency is middle of the road, prior Ioniqs I had were considerably more efficient
Earlier models seemed to have a lot of little niggles which they are slowly resolving
MG communication overall - both in terms of issues, and in general for example it'd be nice for Phase 1 owners to be able to get Phase 2 upgrades like rear wiper. Multiple garages advising it is hard to get info out of MG on latest updates etc.
Seats aren't the most comfortable (I'm 6'3 so I don't fit in some cars full stop though so context...)
Remote control via ISmart is very hit and miss. HVAC remote heating just does not work for me right now.
No auto windscreen wipers (seriously, on a 30K+ car...). SE/ER don't even have rear speakers so some definate cost cutting in places!
Most of my cons aren't a deal breaker, which is why I've still rated the car an 8/10 (almost got a 7/10), but they're still annoying and many of them just shouldn't be a thing.
Total 8/10
