Hi everyone.
I've had my 2021 MG5 SR for nearly a week. Got it from Cinch and part-ex'd my 10 year old Leon.
I'd watched a load of Youtube videos and paid for a carvertical report, then pulled the trigger!
Loving it so far and it's far exceeded my expectations. One previous owner, 44k miles and battery SOH is at 97% .. which I think is good for an exactly 4-year old? And I really like how solid it feels - no squeaks or rattles and you can tell it's a hefty 2-tonne lump, but nippy at the same time!
I'd heard and watched that the display is slow to respond, but tbh it's not as bad as I was expecting, and I'm using Carplay anyway so not really a problem.
Next step is the pod-point home charger install next week. In the meantime I've charged it at public chargers twice. Looking forward to 9p/kWh overnight home charging instead of the 80p I paid yesterday!
Anyway, I'll keep reading these forums. I smiled when I spotted a "sticking drivers door handle" post (mine does occasionally), and also a post about replacing the transmission wheel disc .. mine has a sharp edge where the inset ring has separated, so I've ordered a new one for £15.
