First week in new MG5S

[Hot Red 5S]

I have just completed my first week in my Trophy and thought you might like to see a photo of the dash with relevant info.
It looks like I might exceed the 300 mark with my current settings.
Obviously this will drop as the weather gets colder, but a good start.
My only complaint at the moment is that it feels a bit lumpy on rough roads but this is probably the tyre pressures. Other that that I am glad I changed over from the 5 with much more equipment in the 5S.

It's worth checking your tyre pressures as a number have been supplied with the storage pressures.

They start off correct but then they climb when I use the car.

That's normal. If the TPs read correct when cold they are at the required/recommended pressure.

Very true, mine were over inflated as well.

The ride is a little firmer than the MG5 but overall, I find it more comfortable.

I found dropping the tyre pressures from delivery 41 to the book 37 made a huge difference to the ride.

When I took the MGS5 out for a test drive soon after it came out the dealer had to put trade plates on it as it had only just been delivered and still had the protective foam in a couple of places.

Because of that it hadn't been through PDI and consequently unbeknown to me the tyre pressures were a lot higher than they should have been. The ride was too choppy so I walked away.

A couple of months later the dealer was offering the car at nearly £10k discount so I had another look and took delivery two days later. I'm glad I did.

£10?

£10?

Hey, don't knock it, a discount is a discount

Sorry I forgot the k. Now corrected to £10k
