Seems strange they didn't pick the X-Power given that most of the others in the test were the top-of-the range offerings? Probably wouldn't have changed the outcome but having driven both the ER & X-Power back-to-back, the X-Power is undoubtedly more fun.

Yes it stays.

No charge for the LKA update and I put in the correct complaints to obtain the R63 update as a warranty issue. Other Module updates wouldn’t normally be updated but master tech is a good chap and appreciates how badly MG customers get treated by MG UK, so did them as a favour. 100% shouldn’t be...

So had our first year service at Hendy Poole - £155. All went pretty well (a shocking change from the usual service here, at the service desk at least). Had pre-contacted the MG Master Tech there (top bloke) who agreed to check and update all modules, as well as install R63 and do the LKA...

Nailing each gear change perfectly?

Subtlety understated I would go as far to say :ROFLMAO:

We did - one year ago! Done 15k miles already

Agree with this - for me it's some of the flaws that give it some driving character, which in my honest opinion is missing from 99% of EVs currently available. Still chuckle when it spits me sideways on a slow damp corner and in normal mode, when the front motor kicks in properly, it's like an...

So has yours still got the gloss front lower section or the matte version that seems to be coming through on later builds? Bad luck on the vibes - it seems to vary so much from car to car. 15k miles in and oddly ours is the best it has been in terms of the characteristic’. Push dealer for new...

Yeah but this is to the 'cooking' renault 5 EV what the 6R4 Metro was the mini metro in 1985 (I'm showing my age now!) If we follow this analogy through, the 6R4 was between £40 & 50k when released in 1985 compared to the cooking mini-Metro at ~£4.5k, so basically 10 times the price. So with...

Ours replaced a Tesla model 3 SR+ (leased through our company in 2021). Good intro into the world of EV's (the public charging network back in 2021 was far worse than now) with their super charger network being a game changer. But it was never a car that you could get excited about driving -...

I would make it clear to the dealer that you are well aware of the vibration issues and that you'd be expecting one without this 'characteristic' - be interesting to see if the salesman admits hearing about the issue but at least you'll have made them aware.

No it doesn't - you need to go to the setting for this each time and either turn off or set to Alert only. Part of my annoying but necessary pre-flight routine.

Don't want to derail the thread either but just think more clarity, depth and stereo separation. Much needed to cover up all the rattle and creaks :ROFLMAO:

After a shaky start to X-Power ownership a year ago (brake module failure at 300 miles, months with dealer trying to sort the vibrations), 14k miles in and we are still enjoying it. All the software and 'safety' feature issues you'll be aware of from your SE ownership. As others have said...
