Not so much eerie. More like very civilisedIt's still a bit eerie just how quiet everything is!

Totally agree. I've had some old ICE cars that were deafening and it's quite distressing on a long journey - I used or wear ear plugs or in-earphones. The silence is lovely in the MG.Pre-pandemic, in the three years previously I had my Leaf, I always noticed on long journeys from Derbyshire to Edinburgh or the south coast I was much less tired than in ICE cars before. The reduced noise has a very positive effect
For me I think it's about vibration. A diesel engine running is lots of explosions in quick succession, shaking you around for hours. EVs are a much nicer place to be.Pre-pandemic, in the three years previously I had my Leaf, I always noticed on long journeys from Derbyshire to Edinburgh or the south coast I was much less tired than in ICE cars before.

Indefinitely AFAIK - sometimes it doesn't activate when you've stopped though - check on the display that the green Handbrake light is on. If not you can push the brake pedal a little and it should activate. Did it actually deactivate by itself after definitely being engaged? Not helpful if so!Is this Auto Hold function supposed to hold the brakes on indefinitely or just for a certain length of time ?
I tried it for the first time a couple of days ago, sat at traffic lights and it suddenly let go and started creeping forward.
It must have activated as it held the car for longer than the hill start assist does, although I'll check for the green light next time. I was wondering if I had accidentally touched the brake pedal again when it let go and if that cancels it, I definitely didn't touch the accelerator pedal.Indefinitely AFAIK - sometimes it doesn't activate when you've stopped though - check on the display that the green Handbrake light is on.

That's exactly what happened with my ZS.My ZS will disengage the auto hold after a short time, allowing the car to move forward. Caught me out three times while waiting for traffic lights to go green, as a result I won't use it anymore. I put it down to just another MG ZS quirk that one has to get used to and not use. ?
