Well I must have gone through a chunk of the SAIC MG catalogue, Mk1 3, GS, ZS mk2, 5SE, 4XP and S5 Trophy. All have been outstanding in their field regarding value, reliability, driving experience all-in and electrically at least super economical. To top all that off the residuals were better than good, coupled with a great relationship with my Main Dealer, which explains the frequent upgrades!
Following a gradual career wind down that rapidly came to a close, I decided to cut my cloth. A cursory glance at Auto Trader presented a one owner LR Exclusive at my nearest MG dealer. 65k miles, virtually mint, FMGSH and up at 9k. Went in on Tuesday, did a deal (that involved zero cash input to clear the pcp - only made six payments in the nil-deposit S5) and collected it fully prepped an hour ago. I’d kept the rubber mats, boot liner, spare wheel kit and unused set of mudflaps from my first 5 so they’re all in now.
I’m mightily impressed with the simplicity of the PFL5 and aside from having to plug my phone in for CarPlay, I have immediately settled with the OS. The only other stuff I have given up is one-pedal, the app, in fact that’s all.
Sitting here with a nearly-paid-for 71 plate car that I know is going to be long term suitable and has an excellent reliability record, well it’s kind of comfy slipper motoring.
One happy bunny….
