Exciting that Toe. Please take photos and a full report too.Test driving an MG 4 X Power this morning. Hopefully a descent test drive and not just round the block, not ideal weather, but should give me an idea, what an EV is like.
Give it the berries !Good to hear, your friends like it. Just thought it would be a better test drive in the dry, especially if you want to exploit the power of the car, but then again I suppose, you'd want to know what's it's like in the wet aswell, we'll see.
Secondhand Tesla Model 3 and a brand new MG 4 are similar money, so not sure I follow your logic.
Enjoy and stay safe. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.Test driving an MG 4 X Power this morning. Hopefully a descent test drive and not just round the block, not ideal weather, but should give me an idea, what an EV is like.
Really?
Obviously I was comparing like with like....new cars with new cars.
I'm not a brand snob (maybe a little!).....but Stevie Wonder could see and feel the inferior build of an MG......as a Merc owner most of us will be used to rather better than average build quality, which only makes them seem worse. My 13 year old ALFA is way better put together internally. As I said before....would any of you not be embarrassed to drive a car called MG now that it stands for "Modern Gentlemen"?.....that would put me right off no matter how good it was!

"Nanjing's Zhang Xin has commented that the firm “wants Chinese consumers to know this brand as 'Modern Gentleman,' to see that this brand represents grace and style."
Yeah right....LOL!
And only a minority, if any would know, I didn't until I was told on here, wouldn't put me off at all.

. Thought my C207 was, quick, but this is something else. And car was very refined. I realise an half an hour test drive, is not like owning one permanently, as obviously it's novel, to try something so different, BUT it's definitely got me seriously thinking. 
I think that’s a cracking looking car, the spoiler is really distinctive too. A very Aston Martin kind of hue. AM + MG = AMMG so like an AMG but even better!Ok, just back from MG Cheshire Oaks, after test driving an MG 4 X Power. Have to say very impressive, seemed very well screwed together, doors closed with a pleasing thud. Panel gaps excellent, and the paint work also excellent, no Orange peel, they had a Volcano Orange one in the showroom, WOW looked fantastic. The actual test drive was great, a good half an hour, on all roads inc the Motorway, the straight line acceleration was breathtaking (literally) Coming down the slipway onto the Motorway looked down, was doing a Ton, backed off quickly
Couple of pics of the actual car.

Blimey! If it wasn’t for the fact you have an Alfa I’d say you were a badge snob.
. Incidentally how’s the Alfa build quality?
You ok there Rob?
Great that you liked it all Toe. Would it be a factory order? If so then would you go for the Orange?Ok, just back from MG Cheshire Oaks, after test driving an MG 4 X Power.

It would be a factory order, Ant, approximately 12 weeks. Almost certainly I'd go for the Orange, you know me Ant, like to be a bit different. No p/x offered yet, until I'm ready to do a deal. I did tell them I wanted to test drive a Tesla Model 3 Performance before I make my decision, over 34 grand is a lot of dosh to most people, certainly is to me, gotta get it right.Great that you liked it all Toe.

Or are there stock barons to be had?
Did they offer a P/X price against your 207?
there seemed a lot of very modern tech in there especially compared to the dinosaurs I drive these days. Seems like these will sell like hot cakes and so they should
