    Range drops by up to 30% when it gets really cold to around 200 miles, so still reasonable. Excellent value and does what it says on the tin

    The car is a comfortable drive, has great range and its size wise works well for my family. It contains a lot of tech, which would be great if it all worked consistently. I have had Bluetooth and CarPlay reliability issues since the get go. All the dealer can offer is a factory reset. It's infuriating if you need to use sat-nav a lot, and want to do something as audacious as listen to a podcast or make a call. The lane assist is ferocious- not for nervous drivers, and has to be disabled every time if you don't want to use it. Overall, it looked good on paper but so far the negatives really take the shine off the positives. Would not go for an MG again.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    The range
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    The entire infotainment system.

    I got this car because MG said the Long Range could cover 260 miles, but in fact it has been getting about 140 to 160 miles. I waited a year to buy the car as it’s the new version. Very good otherwise, but range is an issue
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    The car drives very well
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    MG should be more honest about its real-world range

    Had the car for three months and covered over 2,000 miles so far. It has been trouble-free in that time, the only thing I dislike is the lane-keeping assist. It's too aggressive and I turn it off on most journeys. The car drives and handles well overall.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    The driving experience
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    The navigation sending you down very narrow roads unnecessarily
