They do very well, or at least well enough in this track test (track time is impressive even compared to petrol hot hatches):Wish MG had fitted performance tyres to the XPower, stupid to hobble the car against the competition.
Just picked up an EV 4 Xpower and I have a noticeable vibration at speeds above 70mph. It's very frustrating and shouldn't be there.The xpower is a replacement for my ice car that I use for work so I do a fair bit of motorway driving.
The Wakefield car, they called me the next day and said the wheel balance was fine but admitted the vibration was still there.
Like you say look out for it and feedback as I'd like to see if this is every one. 3 out of 3 have the vibration so far.
There is a separate thread discussing this issue.Just picked up an EV 4 Xpower and I have a noticeable vibration at speeds above 70mph. It's very frustrating and shouldn't be there.
Try going just a little bit more above 70 ?76 seems to be quiet again. (So I’m told of course)Just picked up an EV 4 Xpower and I have a noticeable vibration at speeds above 70mph. It's very frustrating and shouldn't be there.
Yeah, I also noticed that (in theory)Try going just a little bit more above 70 ?76 seems to be quiet again. (So I’m told of course)
H&R shouldn't be long with lowering springs, they usually aren't, already got springs out for the "normal" MG 4. ??Surely there will be significant demand for the suspension manufacturers to soon be offering ways to improve handling further.
There’s also now a Poll ... get voting if you haven't already ??Just picked up an EV 4 Xpower and I have a noticeable vibration at speeds above 70mph. It's very frustrating and shouldn't be there.
Yet went 2 seconds quicker around their track, than a BMW M2.Just got round to reading the top gear review, great in a straight line not to great in the corners, a bit dull to drive and definitely not a hot hatch.
Mixed bag of a review
Exactly, most of the reviews of the,Yet went 2 seconds quicker around their track, than a BMW M2.
Difference being the same good driver behind the wheel.
That knows how to drive cars quickly.
Yep exactly and most of the ordinary drivers (me included) won't be chucking it around a corner at stupid speed. I've done 550 miles and still getting used to it, but not gonna risk anything just so I can try and show off to some chavs on the road. I think after 33 years of driving I know my limits and finding out the safe limits of the car. Mine is a salary sacrifice lease so I'll never be racing someone round a track or a drag strip, if you own one, then go for it and enjoy.Exactly, most of the reviews of the,
X Power are by ordinary blokes, ordinary drivers like me and thee and most people for that matter. Get a proper driver behind the wheel and it proves how good the X Power really is. ??
I can't say from what I've seen that I thought the interior of the Volvo looked that special, obviously quality software, screen, stereo, seats etc look good.
The dash material looked like it was trying too hard and the 4 has more space.
Fully charged show raved about the quality of the #1 interior but I'm not a fan of the exterior looks.
X power is probably the best compromise if you won't a car with that straight line speed, fast, stops, not the best quality but best price.
I still think I'd prefer the extended version, best overall package in my opinion
