Likes - The way the car drives, you really can tell it’s RWD, it has really good traction - my golf has decent tyres but spins them up in the slightest bit of rain.
suspension is dare I say it “perfect” ( very comfortable, handles pot holes well without being wallowy )
the overall compact size but having adequate space inside, the price.
Dislikes - I’m a confident driver but I don’t feel comfortable reversing the car compared to pretty much all other cars I’ve owned ( this it’s the small window, no rear wiper, large C pillars - a reversing camera would help massively )
the lack of a rear interior light - literally no excuse for this, such a cheap item to add at the factory, the lack of a light makes it very difficult loading my child into her car seat and looking around for her items. It doesn’t help that the interior is completely black on our UK models.
Seats - I find them okay overall, but the fact they came with “wrinkles” from the factory is poor and I have no real confidence that they will last well, the ones out of the MG5 looks Mike’s better.
The manufacture MG - I’ve got no real confidence with aftersales support, I feel if I wanted / needed a part for my MG4 that I would be screwed and I’m still amazed about the whole gearbox leak situation - how did such a clearly faulty design get past testing stage……. My Golf by comparison I managed to buy a brand new door and get it delivered next day form the dealer.
I like the car, but feel I couldn’t wholeheartedly recommend it to friends / family. If there was a European competitor for only a few grand more then I would go with them just for peace of mind.
