Things not to like on the MGS6

[SlowKitty]

Hi all. I am from Singapore and I am looking to get a MGS6.

I like to know from existing owners whether there are any aspects of the S6 that is quite unlikeable? In Singapore cars cost a lot of money so I'm doing research on this.

I am aware that this is an enthusiasts forum but I'm hoping for anything negative about the car ... sort of stuff that only real owners and not youtube reviewers show?

Thank you all!

Had ours for 2 weeks, it’s the Trophy long range single motor, really pleased with it so far, only negative would be the stereo system is lacking in bass, wouldn’t make me regret my decision to purchase though, the rest of the package is very impressive.

My only real gripe so far about the MGS6, which I've had for a week now (and done about 450 miles), is that the reversing light has all the illuminating power of a recently extinguished candle. It's fine in reasonably well-lit surroundings, when you might not really need it; but at night, in rural parts, when ambient light is akin to being down an unlit coal mine, it is useless. Reversing at night on a single-track road about 100 metres to a passing spot is 'hairy'. But to be fair, this was the case with the MG5 I had, and I think a few more MG (and maybe non-MG) models too. The rear fog lights, being red, add just a smidgen more visibility when reversing. So I'm hoping the reversing bulb is upgradeable at some point, though the user manual gives me reason to believe it might not be:

Bulb Replacement
Bulb Specification
The light sources of this model are all LED lamps, which cannot be replaced individually. If the light source is damaged, please contact an MG Authorised Repairer.

And being rural there is a fair chance that the reversing camera will also be regularly caked in mud. It really could have done with a washer jet to keep it clean. Again, this is an issue not limited to the MGS6 (or even MG).

I've (so far) not much to really gripe about. The handling and ride are superb.
