Hi all. Been lurking for a while but just joined as I’m close to purchasing an xpower.
Long story short - have v expensive jap cars at the moment, absolutely bullet proof and pure luxury. Want a cheap EV purely for cost (fuel) saving and to stick some money into investments when I sell existing cars - like the idea of an MG4. Very very concerned about the poor (last place) reliability surveys of the MG4.
Considering a Trophy for the Mrs OR, an xpower to replace my car - having driven the xpower, I want one. But it’s an extra £10k or £100pcm on a used pcp.
I’m aware of various software bugs that I think have mostly been fixed, and the other issues like the undertray, but I haven’t seen anything that says these cars are as unreliable as the reviewers say.
Can get a 3k mile Green Xpower on this deal: £2.5k deposit, £270pcm, 10k miles, 48months.
Is 48 months too long for these cars? Will I likely run into a nightmare after the first 24 months or so?
Is that a good deal? Looks to be considering current pcp/lease deals.
Is it worth it?
Worth the extra money over a Trophy?
Worth swapping a perfectly good and reliable ICE car?
Are there any horror stories I should know about? Niggles and complaints are different to total car failures which renders you without a car for weeks on end.
Talk me out of it / talk me into it please.
TIA
