What are they mainly weak on ? First google hit below.


"Out of 30 brands covered by our 2020 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, MG finished in 20th place. Practicality and generally low running costs were praised, but poor build quality was a concern, and 31.2% of MG owners reported a fault in the first year"

Our ZSEV has been fine, had it for 10 months. There was a dodgy software update which affected the range on some but like I say ours was ok.
We traded in a two year old ZS to buy the EV, the only issue we had was a clip broke on the parcel shelf.
I believe surface rust has been identified on some early ZS's, mostly white ones

I can only speak for our experience with our cars but they have been great, would recommend

Built-in obsolescence in anticipation of no resale market? Or a lack of captive domestic market?
In any other car at any other time that would a massive vote of no confidence and hardly any sales. Decidedly one-time Eastern European.

The sensitivity and eloquence with which we tell fellow members that their pride and joy is a pile of crip is so heartwarming. Pure class! or is it pure posh?

I think your question should be clarified to indicate whether you are asking someone who owns the type of car in question or the many experts who have never seen or been near one!
