I have to say there is much that I like about the MG4.
It has great get up and go, handles well and is sure-footed. I find the seats, both front and back, comfortable and leg room great.
We came to the car from a 2009 vehicle, so it is very different, and the touchscreen stuff took a lot of finding our way around. I still haven't managed to connect my phone via Android Auto and even connecting via Bluetooth is hit and miss. Most calls come straight to the phone and only the odd one or two go through to the car.
The gear selector mounting is a pain in the @rse, or should I say knees.
Visibility out the back is awful, but our Trophy has the camera, which helps.
The boot we are disappointed with, at 363 litres, as compared to 439 for our previous jalopy.
The servicing was a bit meh.
Every time I've ever taken a new car back for dealer servicing, the first question I'm asked is "Have you had any issues with the car?"
They never asked that, never offered me a drink and, when the car was ready, tried to get me to pay for it, when it was included in the agreement.
But our biggest issue of all was the driver aids, particularly the lane keep and the unwanted emergency stops.
We have not had any reliability issues, aside from the minor but persistent grumbling from the NSR TPMS sensor at very cold temperatures, complaining that it was under inflated while displaying the same pressure as the other three corners!
Adding a couple of decimal points of bar all round has sorted that.
As I have said before, I'm getting a bit creaky, so want something a bit higher up and easier to get into, and something with a bigger boot would be good too. But we have been a bit spoilt with the Trophy trim, especially the 360 cam.
We are going to have to go for a lesser spec for the next car.
I would have liked the electric replacement for the ZS EV, but we are just a bit bothered that MG told Which? that they were working on a fix for the driver aid software but did not nail down a roll-out time.
