Thanks harry17,yeh took me a long time to convince her she would be fine in the 4,I have had my five now for almost 20 months and she likes the car but has only driven it 2/3 times when I have had one more than I should’ve and that’s only in the last couple of weeks,says it to big.
We have been waiting for MG3 Ev to come along but that never hasn’t happened as you know, she as had from new her Corsa 1.2 twinport for 16 years it’s only just done 60000 miles and is in really good condition, we where going to trade it in and got offered a decent price by when a few neighbours found out it was going we where having some much better offers for it so it’s going next door but 2, to my neighbour, he had a very bad crash in his MG5 awhile ago which you may remember I wrote about and he as been told. It might be next year before they can get the body parts to repair it not good is it.
But it was the colour that swayed the deal
She loves that MG red we only got the base model SR SE but it’s a bloody expensive shopping trolley LOL.
So when the 7year warranty is up it might have around 20-25,000 on it, but thinking about that could be a bit more as now when we go to a pub we can go in her car and she can drive me home. YEH

Your not a daft lad Les….you seem to have it all worked out !!
look brother, the MG4 is in most aspects …. Fantastic! Every car has risks set aside it….a Brand new car , more-so.
This car may end up with having a few faults that may require attention, but it is a brand new car, on a brand new platform.
As I have said a few times now, my car has all the trade marks re: recent members worries. But with this known to me (I agree I have the issues too), I thought ‘Bugger it’ (not literally I hope you understand), I am going to take it up north to show it off to my elderly parents up in the North East.
No it a single solitary issue.
loved it, my wife fell asleep in. It (typical, but at least I could listen to the sport on Radio 5-Live).
Had it charged to 100% for a LR trip….spent 145 miles and ended up with 42% battery left.
took it too a Fastned charger system at my mothers home town……charged up to 90% at a rate of 45 pence a mile (via Bonnet), worked a treat!!! Easy pEasy, lemon squeezY, curent fastned rate was 73p KWh, so result there !!
I have a fair bit iof oily stuff on the underside, will get it into my dealer, when I can (due to work stuff and life stuff), I’am not in a hurry. I know my dealership are monitoring their demo a lot since they have been informed of the ‘OilGate’ issue. So I know they will get a hold of me if needs be.
For me, the pros very much outweigh the cons.
As I have tried to say on every positive post, that I have posted, I do understand others trepidation in getting onboard with the MG4. There is no answer to this, each and every person needs to cover their own bases. For me it works for others it will not.
This reminds me of a quote I once posted ….one persons porridge, is another persons muesli
.
). Not something I often do, just that with most of my journeys being for efficiency, it is nice to have a little play now and then.
