Good grief!
If the new ZS EV is as good as I hope, I’m cancelling the Skoda and will order one. At least MG can tell you when it will most likely arrive…….
byeI've thoroughly enjoyed driving a Mitsu Outlander phev for the last 6 years but now in the process of going bev and was initially attracted to the apparent value of MG ev cars.
Unfortunately, after only a couple of weeks participating in this forum I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that from a quality point of view these cars are junk.
Now homing in on a Ford Mustang Mach E....rather more expensive but more predictable quality and support.
Maybe it's true that the quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten.
In all fairness to Ford - Sandy Monroe hasn't seen a Tesla that he isn't completely in love with. I have watched quite a few of the shows he participated in and what he does in his vehicle tear downs - he is a very peculiar character, but first and foremost a salesman for his own services....... well, now he discovered YouTube and cant get enough of the adulation and praise he is heaped on by the equally jaded Tesla fanboy community. Like all Tesla fanboys, his conclusion is simple - do it like Tesla or wither - and he seems to be right - all Tesla needs is a rumor of a big order from a bankrupt car rental company and voila, the value of the company increases by a a few hundred Billion $$$ ;-)When Sandy Munroe lifted the bonnet of the Mach-E he said oh dear what a mess! Apparently there's over 100 parts and numerous rubber pipes on the HVAC whereas on the Tesla its a single part. Worse than anything he's seen, many parts that fail easy (see below)

And even the Mg

That story repeats on many other aspects of the Mach-E making it an overly complex car that will fail often as it ages
Whilst what you say may be true, so are the facts Sandy has clearly pointed out!In all fairness to Ford - Sandy Monroe hasn't seen a Tesla that he isn't completely in love with.

Unbelievable !!!!!I've thoroughly enjoyed driving a Mitsu Outlander phev for the last 6 years but now in the process of going bev and was initially attracted to the apparent value of MG ev cars but a lot of the comments on the forum relating to issues with them led me to believe that the cars were low quality.
Following a lot of research outside the forum and my test drive of a MG 5 impressed so unsure whether to wait for the facelift model in 2022 or jump on the facelift ZS EV bandwagon.
Edited.
I'm just trying to catch up with some of you guys.Unbelievable !!!!!
UnbelievableI'm just trying to catch up with some of you guys.
?
I'm beginning to believe you may be ?Unbelievable
So how was the test drive ?... still going through the battle between emotion and common sense, and as the dozens of hours of research get logged common sense is gaining the upper hand so Mustang has bolted and I'm still anchored here and going for MG 5 test drive tomorrow.
...
I was very impressed.So how was the test drive ?
Yep your right I shall say no more ????Ignore him Headgas1 he's just trying to get a rise out of you, he's edited lots of his posts on this, as he knows he was wrong and in some cases just plain rude to some members.
let JimB enjoy his MG ZS which I believe he has now test driven, maybe even put a refundable deposit down, I don't know for sure.
Please lets let this thread die.
