    MGS6 getting closer

    OTA updates are probably close to the bottom of my wishlist, having a reliable, reasonable priced car is near the top, I won't be buying a Tesla or any other "prestige" wrapper, coz I too am retired and old school mean! Had more expensive cars when they could lower my income tax bill, but no...

    MGS6 getting closer

    Perhaps just a few of us are expecting too much for our miserly budget @tsedge? 🤣🤔😂

    MGS6 getting closer

    Longer range may be a thing to aim for, I virtually always charge at home, only on longer trips do I use public charging and then I try to stick with carefully chosen Tesla networks. OTA updates option appears to be available on the S5, if so will almost certainly be available on the S6, I've...

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    I emailed MG Customer service today using the email from @Ian Key, (thanks Ian) regarding the potentially dangerous Adaptive cruise control, I still don't know what if anything my local MG dealership did on the recent investigatory visit. MG's reply was as expected, but I'll wait for their...

    Upcoming 2026 SUV MGS5 competitors worth waiting for

    Total agree, cost cutting in the extreme, a weird decision!

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    Thanks @Ian Key, I'll pop an email to them, not sure I'm going to get a satisfactory, or helpful response, but it's something they should attend to as a matter of safety, as my local MG dealer looked at the owners manual yesterday, which definitely states the steering wheel button is on & off...

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    UPDATE 2 Wasted half a day yesterday, after dropping off the MGS5 at the MG main dealer, picked up about 2pm, NO CHANGE, the intermittent ACC fault still there. Unable to talk to the service manager, I was told "I think they've updated a camera" Will call today, but I think I'll try shouting a...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    Was there a particular reason you opted for 4 years, apart from the (hopefully) lower payments! Had my MG4 trophy PCP 0% on a 2 year deal, paying £230 per month, which I think I've actually done well on, it ends next week and will be returned to Santander, the balloon payment is more than the...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    My MG4 goes back anytime from next week when the final payment goes out to the finance company, I already have an S5 Trophy, paid cash, got a brilliant deal. No more 0% finance deals, nothing like they used to be.

    Thoughts after 24 hours

    Good luck with the new S5. I was actually considering posting exactly what I've turned off to save annoying bings, bangs and announcements, it may be useful to new owners. Oh, I've also turned off Bluetooth, I was absolutely pissed off with Android Auto constantly bringing up maps, when all I...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    Very likely leasing is the best option for most people, but the fabulous deals on the MGS5 of near £10,000 discount takes care of an awful lot of the depreciation on my car compared to a PCP plan at full retail. But I've seen even better deals on Auto trader than I got, I thought it was a great...

    Goodbye to my MG4, a cautionary tale

    I have exactly the same problem, but with me the diffrence is £3,600 out of pocket, the difference between the required final (baloon) paymennt and the car value, so the car is being returned to the finance company in a week or two . But I've stayed with MG, got a fabulous deal on a new MGS5...

    MGS6 getting closer

    I agree, I don't want to be the guinea pig, BUT with the S5, looks like MG haven't got it spot ON, in most areas it's brilliant value, but in certain areas, ie adaptive cruise control and the auto dipping headlights need instant attention. I KNOW I'm fussy, having had plenty of nice quality...

    MGS5 auto dipping headlights

    I'll probably do the same @Alb, but the S5 is far worse than the MG4 was, I'd expect it to be as good or superior not worse. I've driven a few cars with auto dipping headlights, the MGS5 is definitely the worst I've I've used! Not a good advert for MG.

    MGS5 auto dipping headlights

    The auto dipping headlights on my 4 week old S5 are terrible, often blinding oncoming vehicles, sometimes not auto dipping at all, needing to manual dip, feels so sluggish as though they've been on the beer and forget to work. Has anyone else noticed this sluggish nature on auto dip? I doubt...

    What car did your MG4 replace?

    Good choice @Rolfe, but having moved on from the MG4 and now with the MGS5, no real regrets, it's very nice to drive, but has a few glitches, outlined on the S5 forum and now not happy with the headlight auto dipping, I'll moan on the S5 jobby to see if there's a fix.

    MGS6 getting closer

    The MGS6 is actually the one I wanted, but I was lead astray by my local MG dealership telling me it was due when the S5 appeared earlier this year, realising they'd got it's delivery slightly misaligned (by over a year) I then saw the amazing deals on the S5 that's where I'm at.

    MGS6 getting closer

    Saw that yesterday, but using the same 64kWh battery as the S5, it's going to be sluggish, the 77 kWh NMC battery longer range will be the popular one I guess.

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    UPDATE - I visited the main dealer in Penton MG Salisbury yesterday, they were very helpful, neither the sales manager nor the service manager had heard of the ACC problem in mine and @Alb 's MGS5, the car is booked in for an examination next week (21st Oct) I cannot believe @Alb and me are the...
