    I’ve done 422 miles in this car and have had nothing but problems. I took the car out of the showroom and the sound system was not working and my phone did not pair up. It’s going back on Monday as there is a problem with the touchscreen going on and off, a rattle coming from the engine, and now the reversing camera has dropped and is only showing the number plate. What else is going to happen? It needs a software update but MG says it’s not coming soon.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    The inside of the car is well built
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    Software update for the sound system and mobile connection

    Tell us what you think about your car?
    This is the most comfortable car I have owned, it has lots of features and is very well put together, the PHEV is fantastic and has lots of power. The only negative is that the car doesn’t start in electric mode in cold weather, as it has to warm the engine for a brief time, although you can turn the heated seats on to overcome this.
    What's the one thing you like most about your car?
    Comfort, the heated leather seats are great
    If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
    An MG app to preheat car
    Would you recommend the car to a friend?
