Hello all
Just picked up my new trophy last week
In Dublin. Some machine absolutely love it
After driving gen one leaf with 90km range
I will find it strange not plugging in every night lol. It's like a rocket in sport mode
So me thinks normal mode will do me just fine
Some of the reviews I came across during my
Research were not kind about the suspension
But I can't understand what they are on about I think it's sweet as a nut. What's the real world range pottering around no motorways
Will I get 400km? Thanks guys, looking forward to been here
Cheers

After driving gen one leaf with 90km range

My son has an old Leaf with a knackered battery and it has a 30 mile/50km range. He says that's fine as the only use of the car is the school run, which is a 16 mile/26km round trip. I am defecating bricks every time I drive it.

The cars are delivered to the dealers with the tyres over inflated to stop flat spots forming while the cars are in transit or storage. Unfortunately a lot of dealers forget to lower the pressure back to what it should be during the PDI giving a choppy ride.

Also they think because it's based on the MG4 platform it should handle like an MG4. Yes it is a little choppy on slower potholed roads but it's an SUV and once on the open roads or with a couple of passengers that problem disappears.

Yep my new MGS5 which i got last Saturday as well is light years apart from my MG5 SR 21plt I use as my work car
The 5 is fun but don't have the refinement of the S5

You need to turn it off in the sat-nav settings as well as the cae settings.
