What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
Wanted electric, small, 5 seats. Something modern. Drove 9 different electric cars and settled on the MG4 - length and width were important to us.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
It was a peppy car, the automations were intuitive, simple layout on the dash board, it was a beautiful sky blue colour, it was shorter than a lot of cars, and its width was a little smaller. There was plenty of room for 3 teenagers in the back seat. Backing and parking are well supported by 360 degree camera. The steering wheel is not round, and is able to be adjusted up and down and in and out suiting my wife and I who are different heights. The individually heated seats pleases my wife who feels the cold.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
There are a whole bunch of settings that we were not aware of, and being able to voice control a limited number of actions was a nice surprise.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Sometimes the soft ware does quite respond the way I think it should, but that just means I have to adjust things manually. The settings I make when a I start a drive revert to the default each time I start the car. It doesn’t have dual air conditioning so that I can have a different temperature to my wife - who feels the cold more than I do.
Any other comments on the car?
Very pleased with it.
