I traded in a Ford Edge Vignale, 2.0 diesel, fully loaded, 17 plate 32600 mile. white.
The Edge was a very good car, no problems, a lot smoother and more plush than the MG HS with full leather seats, dash, doors etc. But it is unfair to compare the two cars, completely different price brackets. I only really now use a car for shopping trips and the like, whist the edge being a big car was more suited to motorways, very quiet and smooth. I obviously looked at other cars, Kia, Hyundai, Ford etc but I needed a power tailgate as my wife is disabled and I need to get a walker etc in the boot. All other makes with the power tailgate and other refinements ie heated seats, heated steering wheel etc were over £40,000 and I refuse to have to pay the Government an inflated Road Tax for 5yrs. I did this on the Edge as that was £45000 8 years ago.
The MG HS met all my requirements and the Hybrid+ go's a little way to saving the planet. I cannot have a full electric as I live in a first floor apartment and I am unable to have a charger.
I have only had the HS two weeks but up to now I am very pleased with it. I would have liked a space saver spare but will have to call on MG assistance if I have a problem.
I am sorry to see the Ford Edge go, but it is a matter of horses for courses, and The MG HS hybrid+ meets my requiements. Having no experience of MG I just hope it turns out to be reliable.
Hope this is of interest
