In praise of my XPower

[JustAnotherMidlifeCrisis]

Not here much these days but would like to record the fact that my (racing?) green XPower continues to deliver. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it since I took delivery in Q3 2023. Still love the styling. The power doesn't get old. I use it as a local runabout, rarely going more than 40 miles in one direction (for long trips we have a large estate). I watch Chinese EV news and still haven't seen anything to compete in the electric (properly) hot hatch niche, save perhaps for the Zeekr X, which I haven't driven and anyway I'm sure costs more.

Thank you MG for making the car I always hoped the EV revolution would bring.

I've only had mine for about 8 months, but I feel just the same, no problems, and no loss of love for the MG XPower.

Ditto both the above, posts. Can't fault it.
For the money, i can't see it ever being beaten, it's incredible.

Agreed with all the above.

And when i say, "can't see it ever being beaten" I mean, literally. Certainly on price. But more importantly the, Traffic Light Grand Prix.

Mine also, zero issues since I picked it up in February, always a pleasure to drive and costs less than peanuts to run.

I've just come back from a week Oop North with my parents, driving their Hyundai i30. It had some plus points (other than the obvious one that it's a tiny bit bigger than the X) - noticably better handling and brakes, more than double the range, and a physical button on the wheel which can turn off the LKA with a single long press.

But... OMG it was slow. I though my dad was just not revving it enough (it's a 1.0 3-cylinder turbo with mild hybrid), but, nope, so little torque it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Changing gear mostly just changed the pitch of the racket it made - though I will say I enjoyed actually doing gear changes again. Terrible visibility (especially for over the shoulder checks).

Getting back in the X afterwards really emphasized how effortlessly it delivers torque... and how good the visibilty in every direction but directly behind is - I really wasn't expecting the latter!

No problem but you might upset 1 or 2 people on here who claim to be the fountain of all 'knowledge' but in reality carry quite a large bag of sour grapes when proven wrong time after time
