Thanks for your reply Henri8 Went on a day out today (50 miles round trip) of approx 50 / 50 , urban / motorway . I only started with 22 miles on the EV , but was astounded to find it recorded 89 MPG out the outward journey , and 90 MPG on the return. The EV did show 0 miles left when I was...

Well I had a test drive last week and loved the car, I'm glad I knew the issue at 50 MPH in EV mode ( as my wife experienced it ) . So I have brought one from the guys at Paul Rigby Erdington, thanks Jon and Tom for your help on this. Just picked it up today , neighbours have been round for a...

I would they were very good when I test drove a phev.

Yes it's open , just opposite to the Volvo dealership on the same industrial land.

Hi Henri8 I agree with your statement the problem with forums are mostly only problems are discussed LOL. No car is 100% perfect for everybody , but its nice to know some of the problems and Its been good reading the posts and getting some feedback. Nothing on here has really troubled me , and...

Hi Henri8 thanks for confirming my understanding was correct. Do you think MG ever get to hear the customer feedback of their cars , as in the issues raised on here ( especially if it could just be a software problem). Or is it a case of you have brought the car and your stuck with it , and...

Hi Cocijo I far as I understand it , I think if you selected EV mode then that would happen , and it would use all the battery at all the speeds ( with the issue at 80 and 120 km and assuming you were in the default mode so not trying to keep the battery charged up) and then switch to ICE once...

Yes it would be good if you could trust the hybrid setting to do what you want. Could do with other phev drivers to comment on their experience.

Hi Henri8 no I cant understand that profile, but I'm glad I've joined this forum to find out all this information before a test drive in the next couple of weeks. In the UK apart from by schools ( 20 mph) most urban roads are 30 or 40 mph , so realistically I would not want the ICE to kick in...

thanks for clearing that up

Hi Henri8 thanks for testing that , its good to know you can have the blower on 16c while still in EV mode. Its a shame re the heated seats are only on or off , as on my present car you have 3 selections of heating. I wonder if MG will do an update ( comfort?) for this, as they seen to have...

Hi Henri thanks for your reply , I look forward to your reply re the test. As an aside , as a fellow golfer , I'm glad the golf courses are now open over here in the UK and I assume in the Netherlands also :)

Can i just ask another question re the heater. I have read there is no electric heater , so when you want to put the heater on it starts the ICE. I also read the HS has heated seats. So at present my car has heated seats and a heated steering wheel , and I find in winter I really don't use the...

so really, as well as a plug in , it also acts as a self charging unit .. I think that's good , but not sure lol

Hi Henri8 , ha ha its an expression of surprise. Just think how surprised you would be if you got knocked down by getting hit ( normally across the face ) with a big wet floppy fish . I'm guessing very surprised .. or is it just us brits that would be surprised lol ??

Re the charging of the battery when in ICE mode i sent a message to Miles to ask if he looked at this. Please see below his comments Yes, you can set the battery charge level to normal, medium or high. In normal mode, it will run the battery to empty, and not make any attempt to recharge it. In...

Hi g4rth , if you don't mind that would be great thanks

Hi g4rth thanks for the reply very interesting. What MPG do you get ( or is it l/1000km ? lol ) thanks

Hi g4rth that sounds similar to how I envisage my use. Can I ask what the mph is like when you only use EV mode compared to when you do the long journeys on petrol . What good points and bad points have you seen with the phev. Just another thought does the phev have a charging timing schedule...

hi Henri8 thanks for finding that , its very interesting
