Changed up again, MGS5 on the drive

(Actually it’s the eye watering road tax that makes it a 5 year plan….)

How much is the Cyberster Road Tax?

 

[Mickandsej]

I think it’s got the £400-odd luxury car top up.

 

[Everest]

yes, it's (currently) a £425 supplement on top of the standard £195, payable for the first 5 years, though payable from year 2 (as first year is only £10). IIUC, that is.

It’s definitely on the bucket list, might defer my pension a year or two and stay on at work to get one!
My Dad held off buying an MGF until they’d dropped below 10k, same thinking here (though I doubt they’ll ever get down to that figure - hopefully they’ll start with a 2 in a few years time….)

No way I'd do that, my time is more important than owning stuff, can't wait to finish work in a couple of months time.

I do agree but suddenly my wish list has expanded a bit… Taking each idea one by one..

Picked up my Trophy LR today from Hendys, Poole and managed to get back to Liverpool without needing to charge. The MG pilot a huge step up from the ZS and loved the drive home on a mix of A/B roads and motorways.

Does anybody know if I can add/remove the online services apps? I'd love a native Tidal and YouTube Music app (can't seem to use youtube while driving, just for music? And not interested in TokTok on the car)

Finding the option to turn off the 'The speed limit is 30mph' after an hour seemed longer than an hour while driving, finding it I. The native navigation app, not under the car MG pilot settings ha.

Can't wait for many more miles in the car.

I see there is an ex demo Cyberster GT with 500 miles on it at £12k below list on AutoTrader so they should easily be hitting the £40-45k mark in a few months

Collected my MGS5 Trophy today after just 3 basically ok months with my XPower. My 4th MG from Waylands Oxford in less than two years - because their deals have been so good. ZS Excite 1.5, FL 5 SE, 4 XPower and now a grey S5.
Cash price was £21300 through last weeks deal, paid a moderate amount to px the 4, and cut monthlies by £100 too.
Finding my way through another MG operating system, largely going well. Great to have the OG stalks again as the MG4 ones felt clumsy and I frequently turned the lights off..
S5 softer than the XP but harder ride than the 5SE. Performance yet to be evaluated but so far so good.
But after the gloom of the XPower it’s great to have a light ambience, rear air vents, lights and armrest, decent boot and cheaper insurance and half the excess!
Decided to jump because the figures were cracking, and getting older the low car seemed less of a long term option.
Parked at work next to my mates ZS ice and surprisingly similar footprint but feels loads bigger inside - witness the scuttle width.
Happy chappy anyway!

Was this a pre reg / what was the deal? Sounds cracking but seems like I've missed the boat. Can see some for 23199 at the mo?

MG were doing a £9k off deal in June, but I'd say yes, you've missed that boat by now.

Probably/Possibly but no harm in asking.
They either say, yeh or neh. Worth a try.

If that's for the Trophy model. That's even cheaper then the June offer. Go for it.

One thing I noticed on my drive through the rain yesterday, is how tiddly the rear wiper is. The ZS rear wiper was small but this is in a different class of small.
