Will it still look like that in twenty years time though?

There is an owner in Greenland who reports that with current temps at -10 degrees and the car in eco mode he's still getting 125+ miles.

Sadly my nearest place of work is 126 miles away, so I won't be risking buying one of these - Big Ron can get there and back twice with plenty of derv left in the tank.

It does look nice, presume that is Firefrost?

Only thing is those doors are not really practical, would have trouble in car parks plus I wouldn't be able to get out of it if I parked it in my garage (assuming it would actually fit in the first place).

Oh, and the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Unlikely, but not many people would keep a car for 20 years. My ZT is the 2nd oldest in the car park at work. The only car older is a battered old VW Polo that's on its last legs but the bloke who drives it uses and abuses it purely for work and back.

Yes the range could still be a bit of an issue, especially as it sounds, for you. But my daily commute is only a 50 mile round trip, so would be comfortably done in the current ZS EV.

The ZT would stay anyway, and used at weekends and for towing duties. But that MG in the original post is the best looking EV I've seen, at not a bad price, decent enough range for me, just hope they don't go and screw it up with the interior.
