So, coming up for a month of ownership of my 5. I’d like to share a few things...in no particular order
overall I have got my head around charging & range, I am really liking the whole EV/MG experience. The roof rail issue doesn’t really bother me, we decided if we need to use a roof box for a trip for a week end etc. we will hire an ICE car.
- Apple Car Play
- the “slot” Next to my left leg, where I can store my phone when driving
- Quick warming up & demisting on cold mornings
- the “hold” brake function at 0mph (had this kind of thing on previous Mercs)
- the colour
- the £££‘s I’m saving already on running costs
- the “oooh is that electric”? comments
- smooth, quick pull aways from lights etc.
- to have rear windows that actually fully lower
- the ride is good
- peace of mind with a 7 year warranty
- running a car that isn’t directly polluting the planet
- this is the only EV at this moment in time I wanted considering range, price and body style
- not having to worry about oil, brake wear (as don’t use them nearly as much as an ICE car), gearbox, clutch etc
- comfortable seats
- rear camera, including how many cm before contact
- drive controls
- cold range
- not enough storage
- Headlights not as bright as other cars, but good enough
- I don’t really need to be told that my wheels aren’t straight before I drive
- front wheel spin (operator error)
- lack of speed limiter
