Having just returned from a 320 mile round trip (160 each way) in my new (week old) Trophy on R30, I experienced the following:
1. Using the touch screen whilst driving is a bit like shooting an arrow whilst drunk. When I did hit the correct area on screen, sometimes it responded, sometimes not. Very temperamental
2. The power graph under 'Consumption' is blank, a known bug I know.
3. The programmable star buttons. One on the right to bring up AC, one on the left to change drive modes. When pressing the left, the AC controls come up on screen and drive mode changes too.
4. Generation set to 'Strong'. I find this a lot weaker than the Hyundai I had and the car coasts a fair bit when you release the accelerator.
5. 'Hey MG'.... sometimes works first time, sometimes I can go from whisper to shouting fifty times and nothing... except a punch in the ear from my wife
6. Average consumption 3.6 kw/h
7. Spent about £40 charging, at home and two service station charges. Started at 100%, back home with 28%
8. Car drives amazingly well, feels planted, balanced, quiet and powerful enough
9. LKA was not bad. On the full setting it became a bit confused when met with a white painted arrow in the road but easily controlled. In the end I set to just beep / rumble
10. The speed alert signs (on dash behind steering wheel), quite often wrong for long periods. I turned it off.
11. Cruise control. Despite a button being on the steering wheel you cannot turn it on or off with that button. You have to enter the MG Pilot screen (seen point 1).
12. Travel directions created on the app on my phone then sent to the car, never appear
I'm booking the car in, to be upgraded to R33... hopefully some bug fixes.
