 MG - MG5 EV - smokie
Following Lygonos' mention of the MG5 in a different thread, I took one out for a couple of hours yesterday and paid the deposit when I got back. I went for the top of the (rather small) range, but prices have gone up since that post - OTR price is about £29k.

I've paid a £500 fully refundable deposit, which secures the price, the govt grant and a car (they thought by late Nov). Warranty is 7 years and the salesperson mentioned a service plan she thought was somewhere around £10 a month for 10k miles, which I could buy for up to 5 years.

The car felt really very quick, more so than my current Ampera which is quick enough. It handled pretty well and while the range isn't great ( think they reckon 250 miles overall, 330 in city) , neither is it a top dollar car.

I think EVs will hold a second hand value quite well, despite rapid developments in their design. It has a few toys but not overloaded. Overall I was quite impressed, as was a petrol head mate who I picked up for a spin - so much that he is going to try one out too.

I've never owned an estate before and although it's physically bigger than my daily needs, we have a few ideas for extended motoring holidays over the next few years, health wealth and Covid permitting, for which it will be ideal (but I do hope they continue to improve public charging).

However I may still change my mind....
