I think i remember u in the korean car threads defending MIKs cars against the anti-MIKs who were making discriminatory comments against the likes of Hyundai and KIA. And here u are doing what they were doing over there - making comments you have no way of knowing to be true. If they don't have confidence, they wouldn't even bring in. You think a company as big as Eurokars group just simply "anyhow"?

Well, no point starting a quarrel with you. Whatever you post,  you happy can already.

Overseas has impressive 7 years factory backed warranty. Wonder why that's not the case here 

Actually how long the warranty  depend  on how much u pay for the car.

Certain brands that  offer 5 or 7 years warrently  

If u bargain hard enough. They  will offer to lower the price  to your offer.  But take out the freebies and in some cases reduce  the warrently period.

I think warrently length is just part of the package to sell car for most ad.

Yes. Perhaps. I tested the car. Felt that the engine was a bit rough. Gear shift was jerky at moving off. Brakes were too soft and had to press hard to stop the vehicle. Not too sure whether anyone had a similar feedback. Interior is certainly top notch though 

Yeah engine were abit noisy too but for daily driving i think that's fine. My only complain with the test drive were the brakes, they were too spongy!

5 yrs warranty seems to be the industry standard.

Personally i find them ok (although certainly not as strong as my Infiniti's) but a few HS owners have indeed upgraded to BBKs....some friends felt my Inifiniti's brake were actually too strong and were grabby and preferred the softer approach of my MGs...i guess to each his own and also depend on driving style.

this actually  very true. I dun know about inifintiti brake.

But some car i drive b4 the brake very sensitive  or very makan.

U step a bit.  It bite all the way like jam brake like that. I cannot get use to it.

Need extra care to control  the pressure

Yeah some like the brakes to "jiak" more, others don't. I think if not an aggressive driver than it should be fine. But if like to go fast and do late braking then cannot la. I am also thinking of doing BBK but partly due to cosmetic reason haha....

This individual is also found going around various car groups in facebook trolling, suaning & gloating at other members' misfortunes, he is now on radar on several car groups admins liao.🤣

actually i've been reading up on this MG and i'm quite tempted if i dont have a 1 year old car. for the price and specs esp during the launch >$99k really no horse run for a SUV with turbo. 

reliability of engine should be ok, only wild card is the gearbox and the availability of parts for maintenance down the road. seeing how popular this car in china, i guess most accessories can be gotten from taobao too.

hope MG comes up with better cars after this round, i might actually switch over once the reliability in the long run is proven.

Actually, all cars are rubbish:

American

Japanese

Korean 

Chinese

Continental 

Malaysian 

And I would never touch them.

 

 

 

The best car is my Kar (legs), made in Singapore. 😁

Because you don't drive long enough to get use to ut and learn to control.

If you are in a situation that need fast emergency brake to prevent you from an accident,  you will not complaint brake too jiak.

Went test drive the MG HS coz my bro was interested. At the price point, really have to give it a hands down. Was skeptical initially. Things I don't like:

1. The brakes are too spongy/ soft. Felt a bit dangerous for me coz it doesn't seem to stop the car unless I slam on it.. maybe it's me.

2. Low gear no torque. But once u gone pass 2nd, decent acceleration 

3. Paddle shifter not activated on D mode. Need to manually shift to S which is not as convenient if u need sudden torque for overtaking. Super S, don't really need it.. S is good enough.

4. Sun roof shade does not come with thick lining. It's real hot on hot days. Need a solar film up there.

 

What I like about it:

1. Price point, super VFM

2. Sales rep (CK) is a nice guy. Patient and approachable. I'm not the buyer but keep insisting me on test driving as well. Some SR I know, will not bother coz you are wasting their time.

3. The interior is well designed.

4. Decent boot space.

5. The gear shiter is a hit or miss. I'm not used to it being not manually shifting. If you drive it, you know what I mean but it's not a disadvantage. Just need to get used to it.

Needless to say, deposit placed on that day. Hahaha..
