My MG HS exclusive auto will be going back, once I’ve had a change to test drive & decide on my replacement.
I love the HS as it’s large, most comfortable / great access & tech laden.
BUT The auto caused me issues and despite going back to the garage to be investigated 3 times – there was no resolution.
I will miss the comfort, access and presence of the HS auto but a lack of clarity, comms and differing information between MG dealers & MG U.K. (In essence it’s nothing more than a glorified car import company).
chevk out the Facebook MG HS owners forum, very informative & some good dealers on there.
if the auto had been performed well and safely I’d have stuck with it, definitely – but in my case it didn’t & wasn’t resolved by either the dealer or MG U.K.
tbh Nothing comes near it for a sub £1k SUV on the scheme – for the specification
but a limited dealer network, bad comms & ineptness on resolving issues & farcical ‘software update’ fiasco by MG U.K. (SAIC Motors) tainted the experience – on top of the core issue with the auto.
tbh most people on MG HS forums have had no problems but most were those with the auto.
I think more chance of getting blood from a stone than getting a discount on an AP & tbh £199 is a very cheap AP with so many very large AP’s on the scheme now.
ordering will take time and get long in the too spec exclusive with red/black interior. An excite trim with black interior & flexibility on colour may be your best option tbh.
move done 4600 miles mostly local 23/26 mpg on average & on longer journeys, in between lockdowns, most ever achieved by the 1.5 turbo auto (DCT) with 160bhp was 39.7 mpg
whatever you decide – good luck
