Hi folks.
Narrowed down my next car to be either a Kia Niro EV, or an MG ZS EV 2022 or later (updated version). The other possibility is an MG5 but parking near where I live is limited and the smaller ZS would be easier. Compared to the Niro base level, which is the only variant I can afford, the ZS has more 'toys' and certainly looks like a nice car.
I buy cars that are 2-3 years old and then keep them for several years. I've been lucky with my current 15 year old Citroen C4 Picasso (which, I've had for 12 years and seems to have survived this long relatively unscathed!) I know EVs have less parts and batteries are robust, and so my only concern for the ZS is rust.
Looking on various forums (including this one), I've seen some discussion about how some batches of early MG EVs had issues with poor rust protection. So - are these unusual cases?. How are more recent cars doing?
All thoughts and opinions greatly received!
