Onto the car, I love that the MG logo on the stitching reminds me of their old turbo model. I love that they are listening to the people who pick faults. One thing I don't understand on these cars (and it includes my 1 series BMW) why when you pop the boot, why don't they make it open fully :) keep up the good work

Therefore if you prefer manual there’s now a 1l or 1.5 the 3 cylinder is more modern and uses the engine out of of the earlier Vauxhall’s namely Corsa, smooth better economy and enough power with better acceleration. The 1.5 is trusty unit due to no turbo does need to be driven harder. All boxes do the job well, hope this helps.

I mentioned it’s a GM developed with MG as well as what speed it is and it’s in the Corsa Turbo, and it’s an Auto, if it was CVT I’d say, if I mentioned every possible configuration our reviews would be double the length, also the driving section explains the driving experience.

@@PlanetautoUK thanks for the reply it is appreciated. The reason I like to know the gearbox type, is because I would like a car with a torque converter, I have just had to look up what gearbox a Corsa has! A simple aside during your review could tell me what sort of auto box the car uses. Thanks again 👍

Just tested one,terrible transmission noise constant resonating/chime noise changing gears and always slight cruising also sluggish and poor economy 36 mpg not a patch on Renault captur.

Have a brand new manual on long term hire whilst my Mitsubishi is in the body shop. The MG looks good, but the suspension and steering is awful. The lights come on in the daylight, and no...not the day running lights, the headlights, and when you remove the key the horn sounds and the doors lock and mirrors fold. It is a car that has got so much potential, but so little finesse. Leave it on the forecourt and buy something else.

That’s not our experience, even in pre production models, the suspension is soft granted, but we’ve always found the steering pretty good since day especially in Sport mode. As for the tech issues, apart from the odd over bong, we’ve never experienced those things, bar lights in say dappled areas, like most auto lights. Thank you Steve

We’ve had cars before 2 or 3k less than 6 months old with dodgy parking sensors, intermittent tech issues from manufacturers. It’ll be interesting to hear how you get on with it moving forward, how long have you got it for? you’ll see we attended the first launch and have driven every uk model since and road tripped a no. too, they’re very good for the money, the other great thing is MG address customer feedback, less bongs, more safety etc - On a side note we miss Mitsubishi.

@@PlanetautoUK most things are manufactured in China and the production quality for one brand shouldn't be compared to another. Also don't trust Chinese engineers. The only point this suv competes in is price, but saftey scores, running costs and features are lacking compared to other brands...and with a 1 liter engine with one 120 pound of torque its easy to see why. I'm sure this is the same engine hyundai and kai put in there small hatchbacks...not exactly suited for an SUV. It does have a 7 year warranty though so at least it got that going for it.

It’s all Stellantis now well for 3 days or so, bear in mind the ZS 1 litre was developed when Vauxhall wasn’t PSA. We think you’ll be surprised. EQA from Mercedes looks an interesting one and you can never go wrong with Peugeot - it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the MG, the 3 was full of hard plastics, the latest MG’s ZS and HS are a new breed, please come back and tell us what you think.
