The MG HS has been the subject of numerous social media campaigns portraying it as horrifically unreliable and plagued by issues with the electronics. Sadly, that’s one of the downsides of social media because people are more than happy to use it to complain rather than praise.
The reality for for the vast majority of owners, myself included, is that it’s a fantastic car in pretty much every respect and as reliable as any other new car. I have never had a single issue with mine other than a number plate light bulb blowing.
Of course it’s not perfect and even after two and a half years, there are little things that annoy me about it but with the exception of physical knobs for the heating controls, I believe these have all been addressed on the newest model which I’m due to test drive next week. I’ll certainly have no hesitation in ordering another and the auto hybrid is the one I’ll get although my head may have been turned by the Ionic 5 N-Line. And if the IM6 comes on the scheme…..
