What car did you have before the X Power. ?

Had a Focus ST, lovely colour!
I got bored with stirring the gearbox in the increasingly heavy traffic. That car had amazing brakes, far better than the XPower's - though the XPower would leave the ST in it's dust. If a performance car was ever under-braked, it's the XPower.

Tesla Model 3 here.
X Power replaced that, always liked look of MG4 in general and was super excited when the X Power version was released.

Immediately prior to the XPower I had the MG3 Hybrid, I only had this for 3 months before deciding I wanted to go full EV, and the XPower offered everything I wanted in a car.

Before the MG3 Hybrid, I had a VW Polo for 3½ years. You'll notice they were both white, and I was going to look for a white Xpower, but the wife suggested the Camden Grey, and she was definitely right, it's the best colour.

I like the thread idea! My car previous to the x power (still have it) is/was my grandfathers bog stock VE v6 Commodore 60th anniversary model. The car is 18yo, but has only done 90k kilometres.
There is no comparison between this and the x power, so to get any indication of why i might choose an x power, my cars prior have been mostly performance spec cars (gti's etc), or heavily modded v8's (Holden and Corvette). I don't care for smoke in any way (from exhaust or tyres) so when something can get traction for a sub 4sec 0-100... I'm on it!
my demo model x power cost me basically the same amount as a demo model ss 6.0 v8 commodore (10ish years ago), but is faster off the line, handles better, cheaper to insure, and way way way less cost to run. Ok, the noises aren't as good as a v8's, but i don't wake the kids when leaving for work in the morning either.

Ours replaced a Tesla model 3 SR+ (leased through our company in 2021). Good intro into the world of EV's (the public charging network back in 2021 was far worse than now) with their super charger network being a game changer.

But it was never a car that you could get excited about driving - felt like an appliance, totally devoid of character - the chassis stability control was so good that it took all the fun out for me and it couldn't be switched off or dialled back. It was also too wide & long for the narrow country lanes where we live and have to drive on a daily basis. The only areas that were better than the X-Power was the drive control integration (the one pedal driving control was far better) and the brake feel, which shifted seamlessly from regen to hydraulic. Ours was the last of the US built cars and had loads of warranty issues (I understand the later Chinese built cars were better put together).

We purchased the X-Power outright as a replacement as it it was a better drive, more interesting visually, a better size, cheaper and faster. Still enjoying it a year later despite the very shaky start (do you see what I did there ), having finally accepted that the software is and always will be rubbish along with the dealers.

Amen to that.
