Joining from New Zealand with our new Blue S5

[curiouskiwi]

Kia ora! We picked up our new 62 Essence three weeks ago. Loving it so far. Here it is on our first road trip where we travelled over the Te Ahu a Turanga–Manawatū Tararua Highway and stopped for a scenic shot!

Have been a reader of this forum for a few months while we decided on what car to get. So I just wanted to say thanks for all the information we found here to help us make our decision. Happy to be the owner of probably the 104th MGS5 EV registered in New Zealand.

Welcome to our cousins across the ditch. Congratulations to your car which happens to be the same colour as mine

Welcome to the forum.

Is it your first EV?

Welcome to the forum.

We've got a 2014 Smart Fortwo electric that we bought secondhand in 2021. There's no real comparison.
This is our first car with a reversing camera! And all the other safety stuff. Nothing like that in our old 2003 Picasso. (we don't replace our cars very often )
