MG IM5 information & reviews

[markp4200]

Also the boot size on the IM5 is limited by the fact that the car has a more shapely rear, which looks far better than the ugly duckling Teslas which is a saloon not a hatchback so less practical.

Thank heavens someone has raised the issue of 'looks'.
I am still waiting for my black IM5 LR and trading in a late-model BMWi3.
However I am reading so much about range, charging times and lots of tech stuff about which car has the most tech.
I am sure I am not alone in being totally swept away by the looks of the IM5. I discounted the Tesla 3 way back - the interior is soul-less*, and the exterior of previous Tesla models underwhelming (though I haven' looked closely at the latest iteration).
Where the Tesla looks bloated, the IM5 looks so sleek with that little kick-out ahead of the back wheels. It's the interior which is where the big difference is noticeable and MG/IM really have this sorted out well.
* I have been looking at images of the latest Tesla3 and the interior of the new one reminds me much of early Skodas and Dacias with hard-edged plastics. Overall, although I'm having the long range, the performance model perhaps should be compared with the Porsche Taycan?

Of course I have made my bed, and will lie in it as I await the car but unless I am very much mistaken I will love it.
I am simply not so interested in the charging times etc. which may fall short of the manufacturer's published figures. But it will be far better than the BMW i3 (although I actually love this too) and that will be a big +.
Finally I think I'm right in saying that Teslas don't offer discounts?
IM5s are even now at the start of importing, offering great deals.

I'm getting about 3.3 but then the conditions here in the UK are atrocious - heavy rain, cold...so full lights on AC on heating on etc.
