Just got my license and I want to buy a used MG4 Trophy any advice?

If we are going to take the moral high ground then nobody should be buying Chinese made cars tech with their designs on Taiwan and their alleged treatment of minority religions

….. And the alleged conditions some of their workers are allegedly forced to work under

@redwood98 How's the MG4? Have you been out in it yourself yet? What colour is it? Picture?

 

[securespark]

Their tech is second to none, the look of the cars and minimalist interior might not be to everyone's taste but the efficiency they get other makers would love to have

I would question the tech. There have been a few prangs in the US because the car's systems messed up.

It's a bit dirty at the moment and needs cleaning but I have driven it twice so far today, (my insurance started today) I thought I was just going to do a little drive to try to get used to it as I drove a manual for my test but I got used to the pedals within the first few minutes. Been to a public charger to charge it already too. (apparently the cheapest in the UK)

I was talking about their motors etc the only thing I've seen that's close to it is lucid

Brilliant, glad you're getting on well with it. Working out how to public charge is a masive tick in the box regards ownership. Different chargers may have slightly different instructions, but as long as you follow the instructions they provide you shouldn't have a problem.

Did you use a Tesla supercharger? AFAIK they're the cheapest public chargers in the UK.

As for cleaning it, there are a few people on here who are a bit OCD in their cleaning (and I'm counting myself in that regard) If it doen't have mud flaps, then a set of those help cut down on the amount of muck thrown from the tyres up the sides and rear of the car. Can be bought very cheaply from places like AliExpress.

It was not a Tesla charger but a power company running off of wind turbines. Thanks for the advice about the mud flaps, I'll buy some now to go with my other AliExpress purchases lol. If possible could you post a link for the ones you got?

These were the ones I got from Ali ... they were half that price 3 years ago. (Showing as £21.69 for me ... no idea why the link shows text in German)

I've got these ebay ones, they fit really well.

I got my mud flaps from MGTitan (hit for me, a miss for others). I am convinced the mud flaps all come from the same factory so just buy them from a place that is affordable and you trust I would say.

I’ve driven manual for most of my driving years, and to stop my left foot using the brake pedal for a clutch, I always keep it planted on the foot rest.

I bought these recently as I managed to break one of the original ones I bought 2 years ago (caught it on a kerb in a multi story car park) They were cheap enough to buy an entire set of four instead of looking for one.
