There are loads of MGs on the roads now, interested to see whether they crack the ev market. I was talking to a Dacia salesman a couple of weeks ago while looking at the Jogger and he said that they were hoping to bring a small ev to the UK market for £15 k , whether that happens or not is anyone's guess. I did like the Jogger though, fairly unbeatable value wise. Not sure about that Renault 1 litre 3 pot though.

The jogger is a fantastic car for the money, I bought one because I needed a bigger car that was ulez compliant. It's seats are fairly comfortable I drove from Blackpool to London non stop and felt fine at the end of the drive. It's really good on fuel 48mpg around town and up to 60 mpg on a run using E5 super unleaded. The engine isn't the most powerful but it does the job of keeping up with traffic and keeping pace on the motorway. I use E5 because I'm finding in getting on average 7mpg more over a thankful over E10. It takes 7 in relative comfort and the boot is huge.

apparently MG are about to shake up their dealer network, doing away with many of the smaller dealers as they become more popular & their model range grows.

They have been doing that for nearly 2 years.

The truly excellent Kerridges are long gone.

It's a difficult decision. On the one hand there are inherent risks buying a Chinese MG. Should sanctions be imposed re Tiawan etc or the Corsa which although it carries the Vauxhall brand is built in France. So the EU might go off in a huff. That said...MG vs Corsa not an easy choice. Personally I'd favour the Corsa despite the shorter range, as I prefer the styling. But what Ev buyers rarely consider is the charging network. Yes its a given you must have a home charger but be aware Tesla chargers are the gold standard. Plentiful rarely out of service. The rest of us mere mortals can only look on and hope that the situation massively improves to catch up. Tesla isn't just about the car it's the whole ecosystem. He's thought out the ownership experience and is years ahead of the rest. That's my opinion. I sold my ICE cars and went EV only, almost exactly one year ago. Has been no problem whatsoever. Just requires a tiny bit more forward planning.

The incidental snippet I did find interesting from the shouty man in a bus factory programme is that the black band, and dots, around the edge of a windscreen is known as a ‘frit’, and amongst other purposes it prevents the adhesive holding the ‘screen in from overheating and breaking down from EV exposure. www.autoglaze.co.uk/ever-wondered-what-the-little-.../

I hope you meant UV exposure...
