[@macjim]

That’s the feeling I have about most modern car designs whether that is electric or ICE, the speedometer seems to be an afterthought and is either too small for easy reading on the move, and/or isn’t clear and legible to help you stay within the limits. Even when it’s a standard round speedometer with a needle, there is a tendency to show the speed in increments of 20’s and not 10’s (ie 20/40/50/80 rather than 10/20/30/40 etc) which makes it harder to read and takes your eyes off the road for longer than is necessary.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

Do you own a watch, does it have 1 2 3 etc all around the edge, does it even have numbers. I have been driving for over 60 years and having 20/40/60 etc. has never stopped me being able to realise what speed I have been driving at. Only a numpty would not believe that mark halfway between 20 and 40 was not meant to represent 30.

[@macjim]

@@grahamjohnson4702 first of all, there's no need to be rude by calling people names (you're entitled to your opinion)... Second of all, I'm a professional HGV driver to trade (with we'll over forty years experience ) so I need clear and precise information to do my job safely, so the more accurate that information, the better plus (clarity is paramount)... There are times when you have to glance away from the road quickly, such as in congested traffic, so to actually see the needle at 30 (and not a dash/vaguely marked space that's usually between 20 & 40) makes the difference to whether you are driving within the speed limit; or not. Penalty points on our driving license are something any driver does not want (and the fine either) especially if it was due too by being accidentally over the speed limit.

[@grahamjohnson4702]

@@macjim Well I was an HGV driver for over 60 years until retirement and never found it a problem to hold the speed at 30 or 50 miles per hour so being and HGV driver for over 40 years is guarantee that you know what is right and what is wrong, and I stick behind my post.

I wish someone would tell MG to drop the branding over hear, it hasn't been a brand that people associated with quality or seen in a positive way for decades. No one goes into Curry and picks up a Phillips branded TV because of it's historical branding

[@MartinzW]

idk, here in Europe you pick Philips TV because it's affordable and good set of features. Do their TV's have top of the line quality? No. But you can get a 65`` TV with Android OS that can play back all of your 4k content cheaper than competitors. That's just TV segment for them, no one matches them in LED lightbulbs. Anyway, I got defensive and hear you about historical reputation branding has - but most of other Europe has barely heard anything about MG so they have room to grow their brand.

Impressive charging speed. Driving speed should be very easy to see at any moment in a convenient safe position.Nice steering wheel. Nice inside and outside look. True real life range will be a make or break but SUV'S have a hard time getting 215 miles plus range for an affordable price. Anyhow we will see how the EU / UK version will be adjusted to the new audience. Could sell sell these in the UK but they would need to have a very good overall package / stats / price to cpmpete. I would not want to compete against the KIA NIRO which is similar & an exceptional good EV with an outstanding warranty & crash test results. One of the best imo. Will be hard to have an edge on them that is good enough to make potential customers pick them.
