Yeah now you've said it I see similar lines, for sure.
Which versions are you testing? I've only seen people try out the Brabus, but that sounds the power is abit to much for the chassis. Would like to know about the Pulse version, its AWD but is around 580hp rather than the 620+ the brabus has.
Yeah Brabus and I'd have liked the Pulse but the only other is the Pro or Pro+, I forget. So it'll have to be those two sadly. I think Pulse might be the Goldilocks zone but I'll certainly be keen to see what the Brabus is all about.
Very nice. The car reviewers say too fast. Do you know how to open the boot ?Test drive booked for next week. It was very nice and in the colour we both prefer.

But what about on the car?
I shall hunt for this "hole" on Thursday.
There was a huge increase in BEV sales in UK in 2023. Almost half of those cars were bought on 3 year finance. Most are going to hit the second hand market next year - so I'm thinking 2026 will be a fantastic time to buy a used EV. E.g. Hyundai Kona gen 2, Kia Niro EV, the Stellantis cars with upgraded motors and 51 and 54kWh batteries (Peugeot e-208, Jeep Avenger).

Yeah, my MG4 lease ends at the start of April so one of many back on the market
MG4's are already pretty cheap and I'd imagine used stock would increase massively over the next 6 months so be interesting to see. My current plan is to go back to ICE though rather than get another EV tbh, but we'll see.
It already is a fantastic time to buy a used EV to be fair
However most of these will have been salary sacrific and probably poverty spec so finding the good ones will be the trick
What's made you decide to go back to an ice vehicle?Yeah, my MG4 lease ends at the start of April so one of many back on the market

yes how much is smart #5 on SS £400 net ?
looks like the smart boot would require opening clearance in supermarkets (do any auto boots detect proximity behind/above during opening - audi doesn't)
Interesting to compare Geely cars on similar platforms, for cabin materials/ride, so #5 against new EX5.

Yes, for many years now.

Cost mainly really, it's a company car (my own limited company) so it's offset from my personal income but still a fairly decent chunk of cash. There's nice bits of EVs sure but not sure it's worth it, especially as I also quite dislike a lot of the new car stuff (lane keep assist is trash as are most/all of the extra 'safety' features imo, even ACC I don't really like most of the time) so yeah. Still not fully decided but that's my current thinking at least...
Won't a new ice vehicle have all the safety features that you don't like, being as its compulsory?
It won't be a new car, I kept my two cars I had before getting the MG4 (but had them sorn'd) so I'll get one or both of them back on the road.
If I was to be considering a new car an EV is a no brainer, but compared to an old car I already own it's less clear cut.
