What a joke. Always been a person who likes to do his research before purchase. Fortunately, I didn’t fall into the pre sales sparkle of MG. Having taken the Hyundai Kona out yesterday, this morning was booked in to take MG ZS hybrid + for second test drive before make a decision.
Arrived to...
To be fair.. you can spend months doing research and end up thinking maybe you’ve made the wrong choice. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the decision you’ve made and try and not get irritated by the things you don’t like. Problem is…. I’m easily irritated!!
An example… test drove Toyota Yaris...
Hmm. I’m still dithering which car to purchase. But I test drove Hyundai Kona hybrid this morning and without the slightest of effort, managed to get 63mpg. It dropped into ev mode loads. I wonder why the difference, as the kona has a slightly smaller battery and I think… similar ish petrol...
Attention to detail not their strongest point. “It’s a feature” isn’t something you can tell your insurance company when your expensive camera gets nicked from your boot while having lunch in a pub.
Equally, “It’s a feature” isn’t something you want to be told after colliding into oncoming...
Which seems to be working for some owners and not for others. Although, it’s difficult to determine exactly what updates owners have had installed. Not even sure the dealerships know!
Think I’ve heard enough. I’ll be getting something else!! Long test drives in both Toyota Yaris Cross and Hyundai Kona and both performed flawlessly. Test drive in MG wasn’t great. So much to like about the car…… but I’m to nervous to own an MG. I sincerely hope you all get everything running...
Do keep us updated. Since there seems to MG ZS Hybrid plus owners that have had no issues, beginning to wonder if they realised a batch of cars on to market that still required updates. Very eager to discover if the updates make a difference.
I think ECM is electronic control module which...
MG know they’ve messed up big time. They’re also no doubt aware that they came bottom in customer satisfaction survey of 31 manufacturers. They probably hoped they could resolve the MG ZS Hybrid + power issue without admitting there was a systemic fault on all cars.
Seen the same attitude with a...
Cool. I’m a pianist / keys player so music is important to me. Having said that … never owned a car with high end Bose system or similar. As long as it is clear and is on par with most standard car audio systems that’s ok. Don’t necessarily want loads of bass. Just don’t want a car with harsh...
Can I ask… is the audio system as awful as some people are saying? Seen several reviews where they comment on the sound being very harsh and exhausting to listen to for any length of time. This video seems to suggest that even after adjusting EQ (which many owners don’t seem to be able to...
I think you couldn’t be more accurate with your assessment. Customer service have not as yet replied to any emails I’ve sent enquiring about the loss of acceleration and will all new cars be automatically updated before leaving showrooms. To be honest… it probably should have been a recall...
The infotainment update sends out subliminal low frequency messages convincing you that the car isn’t experiencing high revs or acceleration loss while overtaking. It also convinces you that you do indeed have a graphic equaliser!!
Thought a bit of humour might help. 🤣
You’re in Germany? I understand from this forum it’s just the UK that is experiencing slow update roll out. After the update have you done any high speed driving and tried overtaking at high speed. So have you accelerated from say 90kph to 130kph and experienced any issues with loss of...
Well, firstly I don’t own the car. I had one on order, not any more. I joined forum as I was hearing multiple complaints about the car. According to Nico (view posts above), the dealership said they had installed the update. Nico then says the car experienced zero acceleration while trying to...
Well this is interesting because every dealer I rang up and asked about PD052 said they had no knowledge of the update. I rang 10 dealers only a few days ago. So it seems that UK MG dealerships are either totally in the dark or lying to their customers. Added to this, if they have indeed...
So pointless in the UK and probably most EU countries as it’s illegal to leave combustion engine running? Let’s make a hybrid (and therefore by definition hopefully more environmentally friendly) but then add features that have been ruled illegal for environmental reasons! Hmm
Can I make a suggestion. Go to MG Motors UK YouTube page and start highlighting the issue everywhere you can in the comments sections. Any video that is getting thousands of views … leave a comment highlighting the loss in power issue and the fact MG UK or currently not acknowledging the issue...
