I didnt really consider the granny charger, I've been lucky enough to never need it. But again if someone buying an electric car blindly and thought a granny charger was the norm they could get frustrated with the length of time to charge and get rid of it. Didnt Giles Coren do that with his...

I've had my car for 2 years now and have had zero issues with mine, and I love it. My only regret is paying RRP for brand new and not waiting for a second hand one at a much cheaper price, but thats my fault for being impatient. I would recommend the car to anyone, its very practical and such...

I got the LKA update during my service last week, (and also the latest infotainment update R63 for Trophy) Its made a big difference to both LKA and TJA. I drove around a lot of winding country roads on Friday to test if it had improved and it only beeped once without any steering movement. On...

I found DC charging continues whether you lock or unlock car, with doors open etc. But for AC charging when you unlock the car it stops and then restarts after a while. I was told by the sales guy at my garage when collecting the car it wasnt possible to charge whilst being in the car, but...

You're right, I always thought they were the vents, oops

They are hard to see but theres one visible in your photo

Funny it didnt seem like it was going to win, but it still didn't have enough bad things for it to come below the other two. Glad that 2 years on from my purchase its still the best value EV, and I still love mine.

I got cold feet too after coming on and reading this forum, but I've had my trophy for 18 months now and havent had a single issue with it. I love it, the comfort level is much better than my Mercedes GLA and the drive is so smooth. No car is perfect and there will always be things you'll...

I originally got these pedals off ebay last year, just be careful with the accelerator as it has a tendancy to slip down. In the end I put a 3M adhesive strip on the inside of the cover and it hasnt moved since. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/brake-accelerator-pedal-plates.10600/

Its not like the original phase/version cars are years old, there are very little difference between them fundamentally. If you're going for a Trophy model the original version had 3 phase charging so can charge via the Type 2 connector at up to 11kW instead of 7kW. You'll be missing a rear...

I have some of these too, not sure you can get rid of them. Just a result of the plastic door cards being cheap and easily marked.

Yesterday my LKA was still active and when I had the indicator on and moving lanes, I think the system is active i.e. the icon in the driver screen top left is green then even if you put your indicator on it remains engaged, and when I say engaged I means it already controlling the steering...

I still have Trophy R30 entertainment system version :confused: but I know the underlying software has been updated as the traction control speed adjuster now moves by 1mph instead of 5mph jumps.

Since my service in April my TJA assist has gone from perfectly usable on motorways to very dangerous, veering to the left and right whereas before it was pretty much staying central in the lane and giving small adjustments when needed. However the LKA is much better, never beeps and even when...

I forgot the car did this, but I dont remember switching it off :/
