Interesting comment. We have a Lexus NX300h as our main car. I bought the MG5 as a rubbish / dog carrier with low expectations compared to the Lexus.
To my surprise I actually prefer driving the MG5. The whole driving experience is excellent. Obviously the build quality can't be compared to...
Exactly the reason I bought my MG - it was very good value used. ICE cars depreciate roughly the same amount. Very few people go back to ICE after owning an EV. Of course those that do, will be given LOTS of publicity.
These cars do tend to make funny noises, so it is hard to tell if there is a problem. My MG5 PFL makes a ticking noise but when stationary - no idea what it is but at this point I am not concerned. My Lexus hybrid makes all sorts of strange noises at times.
I hate rural roads and avoid using them if at all possdible. You probably have no choice. If two motorists are driving fast then the chances of having an accident must be high. Possibly it is my age but I feel the standard of driving and impatience is getting worse.
It is all about risk. If you are willing to risk it and it gets through you may have a smug look on on your face .......... but If it goes pear shaped then it will be you who will be picking up the bill. Far better to find an alternative route than try to save time.
I am intending to Lanoguard the underside and wheel arches of both my cars. It needs to be done every 12 months but is relatively easy to apply. Will do a post on this with photos when I do the work.
All dealers, EV and ICE cars, have been pre-registering cars via the manufacturer to keep sales up. That is why you see so much discounting. Especially where the cars are older.
However, will the bubble burst?
I believe any new model will have issues, from all manufacturers. Interesting that the MG5 complaints are not as numerous as the MG5 on the forum.
Just my observation.
