Hi All, l am seriously considering buying the HS PHEV after being very impressed on a test drive yesterday.
However, l would appreciate some advice from existing owners if possible please as follows;
(1) l know the heating does not operate in EV mode but the salesman did not seem sure about the Air Con in summer. Does the Air Con need the ICE running as well?
(2) Can anyone give me an idea of what the typical max range is with a full tank of fuel and a fully charged battery?
(3) When l first drove out of the dealership and the car was stone cold l did notice a very slight jerkiness. This did seem to subside as the car warmed up but is this normal?
(4) When the salesman started the car l was still standing outside and noticed a momentary rattle like a chain rattle. It did disappear after a few seconds. Any idea if this is normal?
(5) l do have some concerns about long term reliability and MG after sales service. I guess most owners have not done large mileages yet but any feedback would be appreciated.
l realise this may see a long list but overall l was VERY impressed so l am VERY tempted.
Many thanks for any feedback.
