A "concept that previews" the MG2 will be unveiled at GFS. I'm not holding my breath.

One of the first replies to this thread was exactly regarding the average speeds shown, and this was my answer (to @NLMGSAN) at the time: This answer still stands today. The only type of driving that I'll do that I consider slow is when doing long-ish journeys on the motorway - in those...

First post updated, with February's data: PeriodDistance (km)Efficiency (kWh/100km)Average Speed (km/h)Up Time February 2026136316.0 (3.88 mi/kWh) 3538:14 Current overall combined efficiency, after 32,795 km: 15.4 kWh/100km (4.03 mi/kWh).

In my case, the high consumption is due to the heating being on. I've discussed here before how much this eats away the battery. Most of my mileage is urban and I never go above 100km/h on the motorway anyway.

I was very surprised to see various new facelifted MG4's being unloaded this morning from a truck, here at my local MG dealer (it's near the place where I work). Saw a couple of new colours and also noticed that the 18'' aluminium wheels are new and looked very nice from a glance (the cars did...

I'm not entirely sure I'm getting what you're trying to say, especially because you refer to "Continental PremiumContact" in general. As far as I know, there are at least two versions of the PremiumContact: the numbered ones ("5", "6", etc.) and then there's the "C". I can buy both the numbered...

By far, the car outperforms the tyre in that regard. I can agree with that, but only up to a point. Maybe I'm just being naif, but I wasn't expecting a well-known brand delivering such bad tyres, worst than unbranded ones. And I do question if the bad reputation the brands get for this is worth...

And yet it was you who brought it up. ;) Well, you can buy them in Europe, that's for sure.

Sure, of course. But it's much more than just that: these are downright terrible, regardless of the brand or origin. There are Chinese branded tyres out there much better than these ones (and costing 1/3 of the price). Again, these tyres have no place in such a car and no serious tyre brand...

Why are you pointing this out?

Today's post is not about consumptions but rather tyres, as last week I went and replaced all four of them. Looking back, I have never felt 100% safe while on the original tyres (Continental PremiumContact C 215/50 R17 95V). Ever since I received the car (in the summer of '24) it always felt...

Thank you so much for this! By the way, the guy on the video in post 10 doesn't show it exactly because he broke the tabs (he explains that in the video, which is in Spanish). This was the second person I've seen that had trouble with this and broke the tabs. Which is weird, because your...

I have a question for you all: did you find it difficult to open the compartment that gives access to the filter? I gave it a quick try but immediately felt I was doing something wrong... I wasn't getting anywhere and got the impression I was about to break those plastic tabs/fins.
