I’ve had my HS exclusive auto since July 2020 and not going to lie there’s been issues, though in some of the MG forums if you share concerns or negative experiences, they can go for you. Every manufacturer has good and bad – hopefully MG has improved their QA but the dealers & MG U.K. have a long way to go.
Having said all that, despite the issues with the dct transmission & some of the electrics (ad hoc), it’s the most comfortable and tech laden car I’ve had in the scheme – more importantly it’s best for my access and disability needs – it’s the most comfortable and spacious suv I’ve had. The AP, even with the increase today, still good value in comparison to the extreme AP’s of other mid size SUVs on the scheme. The 2022 MG HS now comes with full digital dash too and other minor upgrades.
After 18 months of ownership I’m happier moreso because it meets my access & comfort needs – if it had been for covid, chip shortages and long lead in times it would’ve gone back in the first year.
