@ashes_mtb I have heard from an informed source that the cars MG present for safety testing are quite different to the end product.
Apparently it's reasonably known within the industry not to touch them.
Make of it what you will
Had not heard that.
Sat in one last week and it reminded me of mid-2000’s Hyundai, just not there yet with finish and the screen performance is way off BYD (pretty critical given how much you need it). Seems to be quite a few reasonably common issues with them (warped under body panels, bubbling dash etc) that was putting me off too.
I was still desperate enough to get a car (haven’t been able to get out mtbing since selling my Pajero at NY) that I almost went that way. Base model is pretty compelling, it looks great externally, rear wheel drive, LFP battery etc. Glad I didn’t after reading that.
