Here we go MG4 Trophy in Volcano Orange now gone due to frankly dangerous LKA, EBA and absolutely shocking responses from MG UK when I questioned its safety. Did 18k miles in 9 months. In with Smart #1 Pro +. Absolutely fantastic car and despite being similar price is next level in build quality, tech and every single area. I say that as it was brand new yesterday.

I'm waiting to test drive one of those. Lots to like, but I find the rear roof/quarter lines a bit challenging.

I love the way you've eschewed the usual image editor scribble and obscured the plate with an actual analogue piece of paper!

Yep normally don’t bother and have zero technical ability but fancied a bit of anonymity. The looks are a bit previous Mini Countryman meets Vauxhall Adam but it’s really grown on me. The interior and toys are awesome. I think Premium is the real sweet spot with absolutely everything but the Pro + doesn’t lack for anything much. The tech is next level to the MG it’s like I’ve gone from Tandy to Technics (old reference). I was planning to set the LKA and EBD etc to my own settings but they just work so well and unobtrusively I’m not going to adjust them. You can really see the Mercedes influence everywhere in a very good way. Smart customer support has been incredible too. I would highly recommend it.

Nissan Ariya 87Kwh Sky Pack. No real issue except for the fact that it doesn't have car mats and it is raining outside.

Black wheels again on my white IPACE replacement with another IPACE.
This is a 400 SPORT (MY24.5) so back to an awesome spec and although I requested a build change to the silver 22" wheels rather than these the slot was already confirmed.... so its the BatJag now! tongue outcool

Same powertrain with 400bhp and 90kWh but a fair few upgrades over the white one; namely.
  • Carpathian Grey premium paint + Rear Spoiler
  • Oyster interior :Leather steering wheel & Windsor heated & cooled Performance Seats; heated rear seats Suedecloth headliner
  • Adaptive Dynamics so CONTINUOUS VARIABLE DAMPING on air.
  • 360 Surround Camera, HUD & Matrix
  • Meridian 3D Surround Sound System, Lower touchscreen & Configurable Cabin interior lighting.

I really fancy a (used) iPace to replace my little i3; must get a test drive.
I don't like the road tax that's going to hit them from next year though.

If it's used, it will be the same as an i3.

My first EV!:



I initially only bought the Twizy as a second fiddle vehicle next to my Audi S6 Avant, just for the daily work commute, but then it turned out to be such a delight to drive that it took over the role of main car from day one. = I took me only two months with both cars until I simply gave the Audi away. hehe

Yep, it turned out a little 20hp battery egg is even more fun than a big 435hp V10 with a Milltek exhaust system! bow
