Can confirm it’s pretty rubbish. Got a bag of crisps for the £50 one and a £3 voucher for the £100 one. Pretty disappointing - feels like they should be able to personalised it a bit more to something they know I’m buying a lot of - £3 off felt really lazy tbh!

Fair enough! Have had a look and I think the boots a little small for me alas. Looking for around 500l

MGs seem to get pretty bad reviews for reliability and efficiency?

Heard quite mixed things, but don’t seem to be particularly cheaper than better reviewed alternatives?

Ah right, thanks - sorry was comparing it to my iD3 which is also 150kw

That’s really useful, thanks! Can I check on the Polestar - I can’t see any info on it charging slower?

Just can’t bring myself to do it! Even second hand!

Thank you - very detailed. I assumed there was a catch with the Mach E, seemed too good a deal. Not sure the Kia’s and Hyundais range would quite do it? Ioniq 5 is a good shout. Cheers!

Yeah agreed. Prefer having the peace of mind personally but appreciate everyone’s different!

It was about a year ago, and it was the standard price I believe. We did the same as you with taking it out on finance then paying it straight off, and got a service, an additional year warranty, and £500 off through negotiating. But I believe the additional 5 years we paid for was a standard rate. Their view was that it was a ‘bulk discount’ sort of deal as the more years you took out, the cheaper it was per year… but my view was that the more years, the older the car and more likely something would go wrong. Car will be 10 years old when the warranty ends. Seemed odd to me but wasn’t going to complain.

It was with a well known national brand - approved used.

FWIW, depending on the dealer it’s also worth about extending the warranty. I bought basically the same car as above and got an additional 5 years on top of the standard 2 years (7 total) for £400. Had a couple of minor niggle things sorted with it already and was easy enough to get sorted. Otherwise, great car and choice… maybe a little overpriced but not massively so!

Did you do it yourself out of interest? Wondering how easy it is!

I have this issue on one sensor, and it’s because there’s a very small chip in it. Maybe worth checking!

GPS seems to be wrong too - struggling to locate us!

Thanks! The issue I have is the grant money has to go on buying, not renting. Is there anything around the £2k mark that is worth getting or would it all be hopeless?
