the lane control thing is insane, everyone absolutely hates it and is completely sick of it
some people are starting to even get them mapped out so you don't have to navigate through the menus to disable it
Is this an mg4 comment or just a general new car comment as they all seem to have it!some people are starting to even get them mapped out so you don't have to navigate through the menus to disable it

ID3 to X-Power for me.
There's really no comparison. The ID3 was a hateful car in many ways. The X-Power has it's niggles but I'd take it everytime over the ID3. I doubt the Born is that much different.
What made the ID3 so hateful? Software is dog water but I think has iteratively been updated to the point it's functional. Speakers are crap. Windows controls and controls generally are crap. Anything else?There's really no comparison. The ID3 was a hateful car in many ways. The X-Power has it's niggles but I'd take it everytime over the ID3. I doubt the Born is that much different.
Done a couple of hundred miles in mine. Managed to get used to turning off the LKA - its annoying but not as bad as i made out.
I have to say i quite like it so far. Charging at work every couple of days is fine, and i can manage 4 m/kw in eco mode.
Its a very easy car to drive. I actually think my dog could drive it. Just does everything with little drama and a reasonable amount of comfort. Build quality is better than i expected too.

XPower or Born V2? Same price on my SS scheme with work.
430 trumps 230bhp, but I guess otherwise the Cupra is the nicer and better put together car. Then again the Cupra is somehow over 100kg heavier so perhaps the MG is the nicer steer.
Thoughts? Anyone spent time in both?
hmm, what about the new 300+hp born?430 trumps 230bhp, but I guess otherwise the Cupra is the nicer and better put together car. Then again the Cupra is somehow over 100kg heavier so perhaps the MG is the nicer steer.

Main things for me were the haptic steering wheel buttons, genuinely hateful. The infotainment was awful too, totally under developed. The continuous error messages that came and went, adaptive cruise that would happily attempt to throw you round a 90 degree bend at 60 and then slow to 20 for slight bends. The fancy matrix headlights that we're not quite clever enough, I used to get flashed regularly. The overly harsh ride, the weird lack of traction. Despite having less than half the power of the MG it used to step out on most wet roundabouts.
I think the fact that some people paid £50k for them is just mental, the height of Covid nonsense.

Born probably more efficient too. I seem to be averaging 2.2 over the first 2500 miles.
I'm sure it was more like 3.5 in the ID3.
2.2 is appalling. I guess needs some context though, have you been sending it every drive?I'm sure it was more like 3.5 in the ID3.
Best I've ever got is 2.9 but 99% of the time it sits between 2 and 2.5.

Not massively. It does get a bootful on slip roads and I get up to speed quickly but not antisocially during normal driving. Cruise set to 75 on the motorway. A side note being the speedo is very accurate. 80 is a GPS verified 79.

I checked mine yesterday and according to the trip I have averaged 3m/kw over the last 750 miles.Best I've ever got is 2.9 but 99% of the time it sits between 2 and 2.5.
From my experiments it will be the 75mph cruise that kills it. If you set it to 65 it would 60% higher (particularly now it's warmer)

Apologies for thread diversion. I had a Duster then Chocolatefrog got on.I then got an MG4 Trophy and CF got his MG XPower. So CF behold your next car. You will of course though get the Brabus.
Ha ha! How do you like the smart? Not seen many out in the wild but I do think they look gooddrgoatboy said:

Someone suggested the vibration was from the brake covers as they're not rigidly mounted.
Sounds plausible although I have my doubts.
Anyone removed them?
They'll weigh bugger all. There's not a chance that those things vibrating could cause the whole car to severely shake in my opinion. Sounds plausible although I have my doubts.

I think the whole car vibrating is a very rare occurrence (from reading other threads), I think I have experienced it once or twice in 3k miles when I've thought "hmmm something feels a bit odd" but not much more than that. Nothing that would make me slow down or particularly worry.But I have driven lots of cars, a lot of which were old and broken. Maybe if I had never driven anything but brand new cars I might feel differently, really not sure
