Am afraid this whole “it’s all online” service record is open to abuse or much more likely inefficient service personnel. All it takes is for the Service bod to “forget” to upload the service information or forgetting to press “enter” and there will be no record of your car being serviced. The...

Agreed. But the body style is not really relevant. The asking price is. The Cyberster is a big step up and on from the fantastic VFM MG4. Almost like the Cyberster is from a different manufacturer. The cabin looks and feels “expensive” and very well put together. A step up in charge speed should...

Totally disagree. Tesla, Hyundai/Kia & Porsche charge much much faster, and in the case of Tesla in particular, they have millions of miles worth of data with the batteries pretty much unaffected by regular rapid charge sessions. This is a roadster for Euro trips etc. And fairly fast charging at...

Did you manage to get the roof down at all? I am wanting to know the real world range/efficiency also. 3.0mi/kWh is not brilliant on an A road trip but so may variables with ambient temperature, inclines, use of SS mode etc. Only time will tell.

Articles in the (usual anti -EV suspects) press recently about how the cost of running an EV is going up due to the 10% increase in the price cap domestic electricity prices, with fuel costs lowering at the same time making ICE cars more attractive. And literally the next day warning fuel...

We had a nice reveal ceremony of the Cyberster at Hensol Castle in South Wales on the 12th August. Beautiful sunny day. 4 cars. 1 static and 3 for test drives. As it was held in Wales, was mainly arranged in conjunction with Nathaniel Cars who are the main MG dealership here. Liverpool & Wales...

The MG4 is a pretty efficient car. But 5mi/kWh would mean your range on a 100% charge would be about 310 miles. (62 kWh approximate useable battery). So possible but I suspect only if you were travelling at about 25mph for a few hours. So may be not the most accurate screen. My sister has her...

Thanks for the reply. Towards the end the CTR's ride was becoming unacceptable! Was about 3 years old then but this is in part due to the dreadful and ever worsening state of our roads. The Audi S3 was better in this regard. I am pretty sure from memory the XP felt very similar to the S3 but...

Test drove the X-Power over a year ago. Was very impressed overall. Efficiency was a little concerning at 2.7mi/kWh on a nice warm summers day which meant a real world range of 170 miles or so. (So even worse range in winter) I hope this can be improved up. I do not recall the ride being overly...
