That'll be freaky deaky
I have to say the poor quality of the plastics throughout the car is a major factor of keeping the price down I think.
Isn't it quite heavily using Audi parts?
When you go beyond the front of the dash and start checking the strength of the plastic trims and the quality of some of the fixings, compromises have been made, don't get me wrong still a good value car but with the high spec. of driver aids, something had to give just be especially careful if you have to remove something or get behind a panel the plastic is very brittle, check the plastic under the steering wheel and at the bonnet lever for reference.
SAIC do build locally for VW and Audi, I'd expect the local product in this case to have a different quality of plastics as well when compared to European built VW/Audi. Although not the very best, I don't find the plastics on the car to be too bad at all, I think we have a few heavy handed DIY types on this forum, not everyone has the "feel" to be dismantling car parts...

When I first looked at the car the salesman told me that SAIC have a huge investment in VW Audi and use the MG etc and test out things on the MG, before utilising in the VW Audi if successful. Sounds feasible?SAIC do build locally for VW and Audi, I'd expect the local product in this case to have a different quality of plastics as well when compared to European built VW/Audi.

Sounds like typical salesman BS to me, even if it were true, there's no way some showroom floor sales wallah in the UK is getting kept in the loop, lol!
