My guess [SENSITIVE CONTENT]@bloor@bloor.tw @vikki@know.me.uk @srtcd424@mas.to @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk I thought I spotted it in a previous picture you posted, is it good? I would really like an MX5 style EV.. but the MG is a bit big and pricey for me

    @nick @vikki @srtcd424 @neil I did not buy it new, the first-owner depreciation is savage. But I no longer fear buying an EV "not new" because MG's warranty is long and was hassle free one the one single minor issue I had with my MG4 (charging flap quirk).

    I do feel qualified to comment on how it drives because I have owned a Lotus Elise 111R and a BMW M4 Convertible before.

      Firstly it is a heavy car; almost 2000kg. But it does not feel it. And yes it's large-ish, larger footprint than the MG4, and I did worry about this, but in practice it is fine honestly. It fits in carparking spaces.

      It is very quick, and it handles well, it's not precise and as nimble as the Lotus. But I didn't expect or want it to be. It is a very comfortable, quiet, peaceful thing to drive. Very relaxing. But still extremely quick when you want it.

          @nick @vikki @srtcd424 @neil In terms of the "thrust" available, I suppose it is more similar to the BMW M4. Except delivery is perfectly linear. In terms of handling also more similar to the M4 but not quite as precise.
