Had my MG4 LFP battery version for 18 months now, purchased on a PCP, monthly payment similar to a lease but had to find some money up front. The only issue I have had is failure of the button on the drivers door handle. Tip - don't use the button if it's frozen. The car has been amazing, fastest, smoothest, best handling car I've ever owned. Easily does 4 mkwh. Hope they release the estate version as that's all I am missing in the car.
Ours had a broken button - got it replaced under warranty. Good tip about the frozen weather - we got our ex-demo in February so maybe someone had recently attempted a frozen push.
Yeah I’d probably agree with that but I really wanted the peace of mind of a warranty for now. Maybe a second hand model 3 might be a fun second car to replace my diesel Duster in a year or two
Given the rate at which Elon is screwing Tesla, I'm concerned they don't represent a great long term choice any more. The other manufacturers have caught up and are starting to overtake them at a tech level, and at some point soon these will overtake them on value too.
@@TheBadoctopus agreed. I nearly went with a Model Y on lease but worries about warranty being honoured, part availability, repair times/workshop availability and sky high insurance put me off. Just think about how many Teslas there are on the road and how few service centres there are. I know there are mobile mechanics but they can't do everything.
Yeah, in the early stages mine would choose not to charge overnight on occasion, which was annoying, but that seems to have passed. The lhs steering wheel shortcut button 'forgets' what it is mapped to every few days. If I've been playing music through Android auto, it restarts as soon as you plug the phone back in.

Great choice. I think you will love it. We have had a Trophy for over a year and apart from a few niggles with things like LKA we absolutely love it. It has taken us from our home in Scotland to Coniston in the Lake District and to Newcastle without any range problems. You should check out the MG HA integration.
I’ve had a play with the HA integration but it annoys me that it logs the phone app out because it doesn’t allow multiple users. I will cover it in a future video though.
@@SpeakToTheGeekTech I hope you can figure it out. My main issue is that the car disconnects from the servers within hours after shutdown meaning I can't activate the AC remotely without first sitting in the car again.

I've had a Kia e-Niro since March 2019 here in France. Totally reliable and has saved me about €12,000 in fuel, servicing and not having to replace brake pads and disks...which I would have had to have done by now on 108,000 km.
Best accessory is a Carlinkit A2A wireless Android Auto dongle, works flawlessly with my phone, by the time I sit in the car and put my seat belt on, it has connected and working with phone still in pocket.
Dont think youll be disappointed, ive had mine 20 months and love it. Had a LR mg5 prior to this but actually wanted a smaller car with more practical gadgets. Seat position seems to be better than the 5. The drive is fantastic..
Nice - we considered one of these last time we were changing the smaller of our two cars, but for us the small boot was a deal breaker and we went with a used ZS EV instead.
It’s bigger than the Corsa but I can see how it could be too small for a lot of uses. I can get two and a half large suitcases in it but not the four required for a family holiday.
I'm sure you are going to find the mg4 much better than the Corsa, SAIC are on their at least 3rd gen cars. My sister's ZS EV has been really good for her. The charger compatibility has been solved too. Did you consider a second hand Tesla as the reliability is good and the cost quite attractive? The MG4 seems quite a solid choice.
I would have liked a Tesla, but after the hassle of the Corsa I wanted the reassurance of the warranty. Perhaps in a year or so I might get a second hand Tesla as a second car to replace our Dacia Duster.
They are nice but the non Trophy versions don't have a lot of kit/extras. But it might be able to do CCS bidirectional charging if they ever get their act together.
I think there would need to be a UK-wide coordination of bi-directional charging for it to be worthwhile. Would be good that have that extra capacity available in winter though in the home.
I test drove an MG4 when they first came out, excellent cars to drive. A bit low and small in the back for what I needed but for most folk the ideal car.
I think it’s a great electric alternative to the Ford Focus so if that would have been your vehicle of choice then I reckon it’s perfect but its size does mean it’s not for everyone
I have had the same MG4 as you for the last two years its a great car but I wanted to change it for the model y but my other half won't drive it for the same reasons, it's too big. But I came to a comprmise I'm picking up the model Y next week and keeping the MG4 😊
My first guess was an MG4. We’ve had a 5 since the end of 2020, and it’s been really solid. Need to decided what to do when the lease comes up at the end of the year… 🤔
Long time yet till my Leafs PCP is up, but when it is I’m really thinking the MG4 should be next. It appears to fix all the main issues Nissan didn’t without pumping the price.

@SpeakToTheGeekTech Don't get me wrong, the car is great. Good range and handles well. But for me, there are too many little annoyances that detract from the pleasure. As you know, the LKA is one. There is a major update coming out for that. The infotainment ( at completely random intervals) can take a few minutes to boot up. Bluetooth can sometimes disconnect, so it needs repairing If you have a smart charger you won't have any issues but if not then the cars scheduling does not always work I currently have a renault zoe 2021 ze50 as a second car, and the renault is just a better car all around. Better software and better build quality and just works.
I understand, yes, the car is definitely quirky! I have a huge list of strange issues with it ready to discuss in a future video, but overall the car seems to work great as an actual car getting us reliably from A to B, Most of the strange issues appear to be software bugs or poorly thought out software-based implementations (like why the radio stays blasting at full volume when you've stopped the car, put it in park, opened the door and left... !?).
Good choice - I’ve had an MG5 LR Lux for two years now and it is very good. Musk is now so extremist that I simply wouldn’t buy a Tesla, even second hand.
@@SpeakToTheGeekTech And that’s the problem we ignore people yet buy the products they produce that help them continue to spout the racist right wing views that the vast majority of people despise.
I cannot do NHS salary sacrifice as I only earn £26k pa and it would take my leftover wage below minimum wage 😔 Which means it is only viable for people who earn quite a lot.
You would still be allowed to do a salary sacrifice for an EV if your trust is partnered with a provider - you would save 20%. However, quite often you will find that dealerships are offering equal or better deals directly through a private HP or PCP. The second hand EV market is also starting to take off, albeit slowly due to less supply, but I think in 4 years there will be a lot of choice especially with new budgets EVs (like MG4, Renault 5 and Dacia Spring) all moving on to their second owners as finance deals expire. But yes, cars in general are very expensive things and we need many more second hand £5k-£10k EVs available for people to buy.
@@SpeakToTheGeekTech NHS Leasing, on the phone, have told me even their cheapest car, after the sacrifice, would put me under minimum wage so it was not possible 😔
I understand :( I don't know what sort of range you require, but if you only tend to do short journeys and don't need anything fancy, the Dacia Spring starts from £128/month with 0% finance. These cars will be everywhere second hand in 3 years though for peanuts! offers.dacia.co.uk/cars/spring/personal-contract-purchase?offerId=366#cars I will probably get one then once the lease on my MG4 runs out. I will likely replace my Dacia Duster with a second hand larger EV, and probably get a small second hand Dacia Spring as our family's second car.
Having owned an EV for five and half years and done 108,000 km in it I should say he's very sensible and logical. I live in rural France and we do road trips in this big country as well as trips back to the UK to see family. Our charging speed is not as high as the MG4, technology has moved on!...but we've never had a problem on long hauls. The range is 450 km, 350 km driving on the autoroute on a cold winters day. In both cases this is more than I like to drive in one sitting which is two and half to three hours. The thought of going back to handing over my cash to the oil billionaires for the privilege of using a dirty smelly pump!?...Forget it.
Did you choose an ev or were you forced because it work related !! How much is road tax from april !! That will put the monthly cost up...on street charginghow much do you expect to spend for 15k miles a year ?
I chose it. Road tax is included in the lease. I don’t expect to spend much on charging - almost exclusively charged on my driveway off peak. If that was for all 15k miles then that’s £1200ish. I might do the occasional public charge, maybe 10 over the year at possibly £15 a go average.
@@SpeakToTheGeekTech Its a great resource. Very reassuring to EV newbies, though also people with complaints about the car stand out while those who are happy mostly keep quiet. Quite a positive place compared to many others on the internet lately. A little bit of banter.
Probably a good choice for young drivers and those in the city, but whenever I drive a tiny car (like a Twingo) on the motorway it scares the sh*t out of me!
Well, that’s a tricky question to answer because it’s obviously a yes compared to what I paid for it after 3 years. But I got what the dealer was willing to pay for it and I was happy to part with it for. As far as I can tell by checking the DLVA site it’s still not with a new owner yet though.
Well we should have made better EVs here in the UK at a reasonable price instead of farting about with that I-Pace and other inefficient expensive follies!
Same as with most cars I’ve driven with LKA, if you don’t indicate when overtaking then it’ll do its best to yank you back into the lane regardless of what is in your path!
You cannot say you are environmental friendly ! 2 EV in few years apart (and another one in 4 years), one from china… all of that pollution would be worse than any ICE car !

2 EV in few years apart (and another one in 4 years), one from china… all of that pollution would be worse than any ICE car !
I haven’t said that, but you are wrong anyway
I love stupid people, thanks for the laugh 😂
Stuck up p..t!
