    Have owned the Excite 1.5 for 6 months and this review is nothing but "spot on". The underpowered engine is more than made up by the spec, look and drive. It's a joy to drive. Perfect, honest and accurate review on all counts. Well done!

    @@divinesalon339 it's underpowered, but I wouldn't declare 'bad', and to be honest, I'm driving normally with good fuel consumption. Best I've had is 62.8mpg but I live in a very flat area. I think if you have steep inclines/declines the engine would piss you off in terms of power. I've done 21K from new and engine has remained sound so far. It ain't going to set the road alight but fine for sensible driving.

    The electric version on their website appears to still have the old dashboard (instead of this new 2021 facelift version) and as such still includes physical temperature dials instead of touchscreen - which is also smaller. I suspect this will change in time also? Great review btw! Your videos are getting really polished now and a real pleasure to watch! Keep up the great work! 👍👍

    Buying an MG supports the Communist Party of China. People that care about their own economy buy products from people/companies/brands that are designed and/or developed and/or researched in their own country or ally country. The people that work for those local companies, in free democracies, then buy other products developed in their own country or ally country and that keeps their families and friends in work and making money. Stupid people buy direct from Chinese brands and send every single penny out of their country and destroy their own economy and eventually their entire free society because they are cretins and/or greedy and/or want things they can't afford, and rather than wait and save. They are happy to screw over their entire economy in the pursuit of self-gratification, selfishness, and ego. Buying CCP owned brands and products fuels Chinese R&D and weakens free economies. Your children and your children's children will suffer as a result of your choices. This is not hyperbole, it is fact.

    Had a 2021 1.0T Auto Exclusive for a couple of months, for under 20K new (discount found) its astonishing. Even the fully automatic electronic handbrake works perfectly. It drive really well and is perky, super spacious, comfortable and extremely practical. Also no one has a clue what it is! the front is a bit of a homage to Jag SUV's to the point its hard to tell at a distance. The Only annoyance is the auto stop, not good when sat at a junction with an auto gearbox, if your trying to get away quickly. We have got in the habit of switching it off when getting in but I wish I could find a way to disable it for good. Not too worried by the NCAP, unfortunately it was tested at the point NCAP upped the game and demanded lots of electronic aids as standard, most of have survived many years with just ESC and anti-lock brakes. It does have blind spot and cross traffic radar now and the car feels plenty sturdy.

    Great video, Tish! Tbh I thought MG didn't exist anymore, and after looking into it, my theory about being bought out by a Chinese company was correct. It definitely seems like a good cheap car, but the lack of a rear armrest, no auto climate, only forwards and backwards passenger seat, and finally, the 5 speed transmission, clearly show that there was a lot of cost-cutting in this vehicle. Despite that, the interior quality seems to be pretty good, and it certainly isn't bad looking on the outside, either. And that acceleration run... good god is that thing slow.

    Much prefer a manual handbrake. For the Electrical handbrake you don't need to check it is sufficiently engaged. However a manual handbrake is larger and easier to locate and grab quickly in an emergency. It is not dependent on a functioning electrical circuit to operate. It won't suffer the problem of failing to release the wheels when you want to drive up a hill in wintry conditions when wheels might be slipping, and won't automatically release if you happen to release the clutch by accident. A manual brake lever gives the driver greater control. No complaints for the manual handbrake on this car, apart from making sure it is sufficiently engaged when parked. Steering is very light. Great for ease of urban driving, manoeuvring and parking, but I might get a little nervous long distance driving on the motorway- not much feedback to the driver, you hardly feel the wheels bumping the kerb. Reasonable leg room, good ride height, I found the visibility not an issue. Suspension very much in the German style- quite hard when compared to French cars like Renault or Citroen Power, feels decidedly under powered if the car is fully loaded with family etc and you are trying to overtake on a dual carriageway or motorway. Verdict; a fun run about, though you might want to be more cautious when you overtake others. Good boot and loading space. Quite impressive. And no complaints from passengers. Would I buy one: Well just might!

    This is weird to look at since I have had an Electric version of this car for the past 6 months. The great thing about electric is that most get the engine right, we can talk about range and battery all day long, but the electric engine is undeniable braking down less often than a ICE engine. If I had gone fossil again I would have bought used, not first generation and mostly Skoda or Toyota. The MG is a great value electric car and most likely a great value as a ICE car too, I'm just sceptical to the engine. The ICE engines are an engineering marvel, but that's also the problem with them even if they are new. I remember with horror my fathers brand new 98 Passat, in and out the workshop all the time. The newer cars where better, but usually there was always something - My MG EV - one time - needed a software update. There have been one thing though. It have sometimes not been able to turn off, lucky there is ctrl+alt+delete function: Brake+speed+startbutton - it resets and everything is fine.

    I really like these. They look good inside and out. As a driver, I have only driven manual five speed cars with a manual handbrake, and being honest, I would prefer a manual handbrake. It is likely that my next car will be six speed, so that would take a bit of getting used to. Chances are, it will have a manual handbrake too.

    Hi there, fellow ZS owner in Australia. She's now got about 1500km on it and I have to admit I had the same complaints about the stiffness and weak performance of the base model 1.5l in front of the 4 speed auto. But a few weeks in and it has gotten a little smoother, softer etc as the components wear in somewhat. The engine feels more snappy than to begin with so another few weeks should see some improvement. The real issue I have id a standing start- there's a good second's lag between the pedal going down and any actual response. If that doesn't sort itself out it may need MG to take a look at it. Can anyone vouch for the same problems?

    Love the review. But I wouldn't consider purchasing this china made MG. At least not anytime soon given their failed history of being known for being notoriously unreliable. They even went bankrupt years ago because of it. Here in our country (philippines) where some MG's are already starting to fall apart after only 1-2yrs of use, parts replacement take 9-14mos because none are available. Their warranty might be 7yrs but you'll spend most of it waiting for parts that may or may not become available. The seat foam becomes deformed w/n 1yr, the engine mount rattles w/n a yr, and headlight moisture is a problem at yes...w/n 1yr. Worst part is MG doesn't want to fix the headlight issue because according to them "it's normal". Owning one is going to be a huge headache.

    Failed history and bankruptcy was from a totally different parent company. SAIC has purchased the name of MG after the failure so it is now a totally different company and products. I’m not sure about falling apart but delay in parts there is some truth but not 9-14 months. Condensation in headlights are indeed normal, have a quick google. Each country is run differently and the handling agent for MG is also different. MG UK and MG Europe is a separate handling company.

Look on the roads and you see how well they are selling. I went into town the other day and saw 3 in a minute then add mine, 4. My dealer says they sell like hot cakes. His issue is that MG are opening dealerships at pace this Will affect his sales.
