Sadly EVs have a ALOT of negatives that scare consumers..
The 2 biggest is price vs savings and infrastructure..
How long before I really start seeing savings in my investment of 52k for my EV over an ice car if it’s 20 k plus cheaper ??!
Range is another granted the X power isn’t a range...
With very low sales of the X power I see little reason for them to actually do anything ..
Coupled with less than half maybe actually making a huge fuss about it there is little incentive for them to do anything about it ..
Think I’m just going to swap out the tyres lower it and just leave it...
Sadly I really feel MG are just going to shut there mouths now and do nothing ..
I took mine to the dealer to have the nav and software updated at the same time I mentioned the vibe guy test drove it confirmed it vibrated dealer was going to swap out wheels of new X power and do some testing...
I had a thought myself while I’ve yet to fully investigate a option ( personally I’m still trying to get my head around the cost more to fit lowered springs than the cost of the actual lowered springs )
Could you Jerry rig the pressure sensor off the stock front seat to a nice set of Recaro...
At some point you need to cool your expectations though I paid 52k aud traded my 2012 Volvo s60 r6 r design with polstar tune on mine and there are things my crummy old Volvo got more right than the X power has over 10 years ago
I don’t want to sound like a arse or rude but you didn’t pay a...
All that said does anyone really care that your not hitting claimed 0-62mph times when I bet 90% of everything you line up against will see you tail lights very quickly anyway!!?
For it’s price and if your talking EV no at the moment nothing comes close ..
But
After owning mine and doing just under 10000kms in it now it has a lot of shortcomings mostly for cost and some just plain silly design ..
To say the X power is a one trick pony would be semi accurate it’s DAMN...
I think you also need to look at tyres , road surfaces , condition's etc etc
So many factors that make up your 0-100km/ 62mph times ..
I’ve noticed trying to push 320kw /600nm through stock tires has varied results ..
I’m always rocketing off at the lights ( some say it gets old but nope when...
My plan is to chew out the stock rubber and switch to pilot sport 5s.
100% i dont like the stock rubber BUT im of the opinion that i know they are crap so just be careful when trying to push it in the wet till they need to be replaced !!
kind of a waste to throw the stock tyres away when they...
I have a question..
When you changed the tyres did the vibration stay or did it go ?'
My reasoning is took my X power into the dealer to fix the navigation the other day at the same time i had them test drive the car for vibration the mechanic did mention that some of the older MG's from china...
iam kinda lost now to which tyres to put on my X power ( at some point ) ..
My issue stems from ive used both michelin pilot sport 4 and the 5 tyres on my awd s60 and found that the 5s had better life span and handled just as good !!
Yet when i was at my local tyre shop the other day i...
yeah ive lost my Xpower a few times now in normal and sport modes with all the aids on in the wet!
Im going to chalk it up to the terrible stock tyres software and just being out right to powerful for its means..
when I say lost it slid around a bend where the stability / torque vectoring /...
Telsa may be the better buy ( I have not driven one ) but I own an X power ..
Things ive found driving my X power for bang for buck makes the X power a great purchase..
AWD: I don't care what anyone says AWD is just better the car feels more planted and safer in winter conditions ..
power is...
Dont agree with character .. squarely refinement !! IMO
Dont get me wrong its insane to have that sort of power at this cost but its not without its downsides with not being able to control it well enough!!
On a lighter note im going to a car wrap place tomorrow to see cost of a full car wrap...
My take on my Xpower after nearly 1000km..
By no means am i disappointed or unhappy with it and this is purely my opinion !!
( wanted to get that clear from the start )
1. The car lacks refinement ,, it needs better shocks and springs and i feel the tyres are a poor choice for the car ( im...
Picked up my MG4 X power this afternoon .. 100% worth every penny does have a slight vibration at 100 km/h but nothing i cant live with ..
I will keep my eyes peeled for the incoming fix from MG ..
Car drives , performs and looks amazing ( havent used the 320kw yet but dont really feel the...
Put simply is the MG 4 a hot hatch well YES but also a resounding NO ..
I think it depends on what you class as a hot hatch a true drivers car or just a fast car ..
I realized that last night after i thrashed my 2012 volvo s60 T6 awd thought the streets in the wet .. ( by no means is my volvo...
