I feel exactly the same. Though I have 18 months to go still. I've given up asking for stuff to be fixed. 1st service they told me they couldn't fix any of the issues I had and claimed my car was up to date (I knew it wasn't).Oh absolutely, I am done with MG, once the finance term runs out I will be handing it back and walking.
I've raised the issues with Octopus who engaged MG UK, who told them the same. Gee thanks. I told Octopus I'd never have an MG again and thought the aftersales was awful.
It does drive well. It's spacious. It's comfortable. It's fun. But it's tried to drive me into ditches more times than I can count. It also feels particularly keen to invite the car behind into the boot in a hurry too with its various phantom braking.I don’t think it’s all that bad.
MG cars are reliable, well-built, exciting to drive, and offer excellent value for money. Every brand has its pros and cons.
The main shortcomings are clearly the infotainment system, which is about a decade behind its competitors, and MG’s approach to updates.
I believe many customers don’t even care about updates…
In my case, I find it particularly frustrating, especially since I also own a Tesla, which sits at the opposite end of the spectrum—though it comes with its own set of drawbacks.
