MG IM6 information & reviews

[NikLiverpool]

Bloody hell these so called youtube 'reviewers'.
Just seen another one last night; not going to put a link since I don't think the guy deserves a single view.
Sets the car on sport mode; keeps bashing it around and then complains about the brakes which he obviously left on default settings (comfort).
Then jumps on the conclusion that the car is dangerous...
I comment that he needs to set the brakes on sport too and carries on that the car is unfit for purpose and that I have not taken a car like this on track day!!
Like people will buy the IM6 for track days ***....

Fed up with this; take a car for like 10 minutes; not bother to actually look into the car functions and then try and influence people.
I am starting to understand why BYD is taking people to the courts now....

Track use invalidates the warranty anyway; it is about as far removed from track use as a car can be designed to be.

Reviewers get more eyeballs with clickbait headlines. A review that slates a car as dangerous will earn them more money. The good ones don't do that; but there are many that are not good.

They do this indeed. Problem is that people are influenced by these so called reviews.
Then when the affected company takes the legal road they complain about freedom of press/speech etc lol.
I am just fed up with people being in position to state whatever they want regardless of how clueless they are....Sign of our times I guess...(sound like my dad now heh).

Well in fairness MG needs a little breather from orders anyway. Availability is key now. Long waits kill reputation and lose long-term customers more than some crappy review. The number of positive ones outweigh any negatives.
