+1 Very fair point, turning off LKA etc seams to be a necessity in most makes of car and it’s a faff / flurry of infotainment screen sub menus to do so in 90% of cars. I actually really like Renault E-scenic approach of gentle bong driver aids and then one physical button labelled “personal”...

So I know we have the other poll, but alot of us voted during the “honeymoon phase” This poll is for those that have owned their MG4 for at least 6months and would they buy another MG4 or even keep the one they have ? I had my launch model SE for one year then sold it, I personally would...

I sympathise with you, I had all the same issues and my car lasted just over a year before I got fed up and sold it on ( luckily / unluckily I got a bank loan for it, which meant I could get rid whenever, but did lose several grand - could have been worse) I was really annoyed with it by the...

Mine was still making a racket up to the day I sold it, I could even feel vibrations through my steering wheel when the a/c was running. By comparison my E-Golf a/c is completely silent, you have to pop the bonnet up just to have a chance of hearing it. Also no stupid contactors clunking in...

That’s my observation, James (from James and Kate ev YouTube / cleevely EV) has run a few MG5s and put superstar mileage on them without any issues to note. How did the MG4 get released so unready. Like did they not test any of the software or notice gearboxes leaking oil during R+D….

Sadly you can’t update the result of that survey otherwise I think a lot of us would revise and mark it down. I had a launch SE and whilst it was a great driving car it had tons of issues - Gearbox oil leak Bubbling dashboard Seat fabric poorly installed Cracks on tail lights Warped...

I had a MG4 SE from launch for a year, I thought I’m a modern thinking guy and Chinese cars seemed comparable to European ones, oh how wrong was I. Now don’t get me wrong my MG4 was a lovely car to drive, but that was its only positive; it had so many niggles, the software just beyond bad and...

It’s probably another bug……but a good one. When I first got my SR at launch I had a whole year of LKA staying off by default and it was bliss. I actually sold the car when the dealer forced the update on my car against my request during its first service. LKA is one of the worst things I’ve...

A lot of peeps have mentioned about Tesla extortionate bodywork quotes, but I’ve heard and seen that their normal parts prices are actually very reasonable. MG on the other hand for are a rip-off, they wanted £450 for just one rear light on my MG4 (when it was a warranty claim anyhow, had to...

You should be okay then as MG4’s have already hit that £16.500 trade in value after only a year / a few months. Hopefully the car still suits you if your keeping it for the full 4 years ??

I must admit the after years of cheap leasing and the MG4 being the first car I bought outright the depreciation was horrible and something that worried me daily - all the maths I did when I bought the car had gone to pot as the EV used car market crashed big time. I sold my SR for £19,500...

+1. I also object to the fact this “safety feature” is in fact dangerous and not required, the only people I ever saw that needed “lane assist” were muppets on their phone whilst driving.

My rear tail light had bad condensation and visible micro cracks, took a lot of arguing to get MG to replace it under warranty. They wanted to charge me £450 for the part alone!!!! Horrible company trying to make out these defects are not covered.

Not gonna lie, LKA being dangerous and a pain to turn off during every single journey and the build quality issues made me sell the car after only 1 year. It’s a good EV and one of the best handling cars out there, but software and assistance systems are garbage. Sometimes the main screen would...

Jesus, can mg just stop with the bad glitchy software. I had mine a year and the software still felt very much in Beta phase.
