Previously said we have the newest model as fleet cars at work and they are still really efficient, I have done a mix of driving over the winter and the lowest economy I've seen is 3.5 m /kWh
And that was a really cold day with lots of stop starting journeys
Refreshed mini countryman is supposed to be good, they have made it more efficient (changed parts in the motor and bearings apparently on the 2026 model.
65kwh usable battery over 310 mile range, plenty space and luggage capacity and brand new £30k
There is no getting away from the fact that winter hammers EV range ( on the current mainstream battery chemistries) far more than it impacts ice cars, hopefully the new chemistries in development alleviate this
It is a real shame as you are obviously pretty invested in the car/brand, so much so you do the podcast but you have certainly had a few niggles!
As I've said previously it's not the faults any car can have them, it's how they are dealt with that brings customers back and MG UK are poor...
There has been no updates, no MGs in the UK get OTA updates, the cars are capable of receiving them but MG haven't enabled them.
Apparently the IM cars are due to receive OTA updates at some point this year but no confirmed dates.
Personally I think the OTA function has never been enabled due...
It's a real shame as the vast majority on here love there cars and I get that.
However there are far too many stories of fights with dealers (and it's all over, not just the same one or two) to make a lot of people not return for a second MG.
The warranty work should be seamless (it's covered...
Always thought the service was good with previous VWs, not EVs to be fair, excellent with my Cupra, obviously same group, and EV servicing is only every 2 years.
The big kid in me really fancies the performance of an X Power and I like the look of the facelift but after the hassle and...
Lots of heavy powerful cars out there without suspension parts giving up the ghost at 3 years, it's poor the dealer is even debating.
Speaks more to the hassle of MG authorising warranty repairs unfortunately
Unfortunately sounds like another example of poor MG after sales.
It isn't an EV thing, as I've had a few and never had it.
Could be poor quality parts
I'm talking about when people reset the GOM and it jumps back to close to the wltp range, people suddenly think they have more but it very quickly disappears when you start driving again, and adjust to a more accurate reading
It is a quirk of MGs that when you reset the GOM it comes back with an unrealistic range figure, that very quickly then adjusts to a smaller range as you drive.
My Born doesn't do this and a relatives Mégane doesn't either, it may add 2/3 more miles but stays pretty accurate.
It is another...
Didn't mean using the 0-60 was irresponsible, that's exactly why you get one, was meaning using it within a built up area was irresponsible
Which most "city" cars are used in.
Which brings us right back to it's not a city car
