Excite or Exclusive?

I know you already know the answer to your own question!
but I'll put it into words.
An incorrect ICE MPG won't leave you potentially stranded embarrassingly waiting for a recovery truck unlike a lying EV WLTP in winter.

No - Because the size of storage tank you are carrying around is massively different.
If the HV battery had the same capacity as a fuel tank in an ICE car, it would never be a problem.
Regardless of the winter consumption of the pack / tank.
Let’s say you have a ICE car that can give you 35 MPG in the summer, but only returns 25 MPG in the winter.
This is never a problem, unless you are running low on fuel.
Then you are blaming the CAR for consuming the fuel, too fast all of a sudden.
MPG figures never have, and never will be achievable figures in real world conditions.
This is old news, that ALL of us have been cheated by for many many years.
The fuel gauge on an ICE car is pretty accurate and can be trusted to report pretty close down before to the wanting a flat bed ride home.
The GOM on an EV is a little less trust worthy in this department though !.
Did anybody expect to receive the actual WLTP figures in their EV that is published ?.
Remembering it is conducted in a similar way to the old system of reporting consumption.
I have never seen any car that is able return the same economy figures in the winter as it can in the summer, that is pure fact.
We have two standards on reporting EV efficiency now, we have the WLTP range and the “Real World” range.
Who is this “Real World” governing body then ?.
It’s customers like us, that’s who !.
Who have proven once again that these figure that are put out can not be trusted.
We have travelled a full circle back to where we started.
Buying the car, then finding out what it can and can not do.
Come on you “Real World” people, let’s try and keep the flat bed folks less busy people !.

A duff petrol gauge will though
I can't think of one ICE car I've had where the gauge was totally accurate, most under read, which is fine, there's still some left when it shows empty. But some of the old bangers I had back in the 70s used to be all over the place, I've had a couple that over read some that didn't work at all.

In them days, we all carried a spare gallon of fuel around in the boot as well !.
Fuel gauges where ALL over the place then, reading empty one minute, then when going down hill, you suddenly still had a quarter of a tank remaining !.
Them where the days alright !.

I’m looking at the ZS EV but need to know what people think I should go for?
I’ve found an white excite for £19500 pre RPG 20 plate with 100 miles or an exclusive 70 plate in blue with 500 miles for £21500

Never buy mg cars you will regret

As a first post, your words aren't going to be taken very seriously and could even be taken as trolling @shukrullah
You've joined an MG forum where unsurprisingly, the overwhelming majority of members support MG. You'll find plenty of posts expressing negative opinion but these are all underpinned by evidence and/or developed argument.
Why not introduce yourself first then open up a new thread to share your own (presumably negative) MG experience? You never know, someone may be able to help.

for that much money, you should seriously consider new version, Mk2 with a bit more mileage on the clock.

You could as well say never buy any car, you will regret it, if it happens, it happens ...

I bought second hand one, happy with it. It breaks down? well, happened with all other cars I had previously ...
