MG ZS EV Wish List for Santa

[Pecari]

The wiper blades cannot be folded out to stop them freezing to the glass. On cars where the bonnet gets in the way they usually click into a suitable position. I used a couple of plastic things wedged in between the screen & the wiper arm.

The absence of a transmission lock & centre rear headrest seem a little out of step with the safety regs to me.
Still like the car although I have only driven it 3 times / 60 miles since purchase due to tier 4!!

With the bonnet in closed state, and within 20 seconds
of switching the vehicle power system to the OFF
position, operate the wiper stalk switch by pressing
down and release, the wipers will enter the 'service
position' and stop on the windscreen.

I can't remember now, do they automatically return to the park position when you turn the car on, or is it when you touch the wiper stalk ?

I don't get that from the description, But first put it back on the window to be sure.

My experience is that they get back to their normal positions when you start the car up, so be sure to put them down before starting.

I would love the following:

Auto wipers that work properly.
A light in the charging flap.
Charging flap to flip down instead of up to save my back.
Matrix LED headlights and interior lights.
Battery percentage indicator.
Climate control.
Better calibrated MG Pilot.
Real leather seats.
Heated front screen.
Get rid of all the messages at start up.
Heated seats that stay on door longer than 20-30 minutes and that remember they were on on the last journey.
Ability to electrically fold the mirrors whilst driving (down tight country lanes etc).
Fully digital instruments.
Bigger infotainment screen.
Upgraded stereo with sub etc.
Reach adjustable steering.
Lumbar support.
ACC to use regen.
Tinted windows on the Exclusive.
All windows to have auto up and down.

Too needy? Or am I just spoilt from having more upmarket cars?

Not too needy at all, just on the wrong budget

 

[SCB86]

Yeah, you have to manage expectations I guess. I'm still very happy with the car and three weeks and 950 miles in and it's not cost me a single penny to power it

On the exclusive just push the mirror button down and the mirrors fold in.

I like my mg but when it is time to replace , having an app would sway me to another make of car

In Norway, we were offered the tinted windows as part of the package. Is it a standard offer for most cars in the UK or is it seldom?

 

[Adi6phil]

This is not an option at all in uk on zs models

 

[Adi6phil]

Its the darker rear windows that are not available from mg

@Simondi

How much were they at Bryson's?

A £500 option that included window tints (excellent job by the way), mudflaps, mats and type 2 cable ( in lieu of spare wheel).

The place that does the tints is a local Ayr based company
