Surely you shouldn't turn all your warings off? Wouldn't it have been better to just switch one warning off and see if that was the problem. If not do the same to each warning then until you find which warning alarm it is.

Because in Italy the dealer says they don't exist and on the website even when I enter the VIN code it tells me it doesn't exist. Thank you Andrew Ciao Colin Tin, vorrei chiederti se ti hanno dato il libretto d'uso della mg3, cioe quello delle istruzioni del'infoteimen.

The car is getting good reviews from the motoring press. Its a pity it is not available in orange like the MG4 as that is the colour i would want. I will look at the MG3 but i also have the Mazda MX5, Mini Cooper and Toyota AygoX on my list. You should have got mats thrown in as part of the deal as i have with every car i have bought over the years plus a good discount. Carwow are giving a £1000 discount off the MG3 at the moment. Can i ask if you can select by a button to only run the car in petrol mode so you can save the battery for in town stop start driving so when you are in town you can then press a button to only run the car in EV mode or do you have to let the car decide? Also how many miles can the car run in pure EV mode. Surely more than 3 miles? Does the beep noise default to on each time you start the car so you have to turn it off each time or does it stay off once turned off? Thanks guys and enjoy the car. Perhaps you can give me a ride in the car when in Blackpool.

Hi David, thanks for you comment, the only review that I wouldn't pay any attention to is What Car, as they are sponsored by the MG3 biggest rival the Renault Clio, so even though the Clio is 4 grand more expensive, they go to pieces on the MG3. I would give it a test drive for sure. You can't choose the drive train and you can't gauge how many miles it will go in EV as it constantly changes. I must say that in City Centre in EV it's super quiet and very easy to drive. It almost drives itself tbh. I read in a review that the car learns and adapts to your driving style and I am certainly believing this. The annoying warning beep was fixed by turning the setting of in the SatNav and it's stayed off since, I've not had to change the settings again. Good luck with the car hunting. I was tempted for the MX5 but it was out of my league.

The other cars i mentioned would not be new but used up to a year old so a massive discount on new price and more affordable Trish from auto social has just done a good review on the MG3. I am not changing cars until 2025 so plenty of time to decide. Next time you are in Blackpool try The SEA fish and chips next to the Winter Gardens. Everyone always mentions Yorkshire or Tower fisheries but no one talks about The Sea and it is so much better. Also try The Gurkha on Waterloo Rd an all you can eat buffet which is excellent.

Is it true that the seats can be pre-heated via your smart phone, so that the seats will be warm on cold winter days when you start to drive (and is there the same feature for the heated steering wheel)? THanks. Greetings from Berlin.

Hello and thanks for you question. You can pre-heat the seats from the comfort of your home by using the MGi Smart app. You can also unlock and lock the door. Handy if like me, I remembered I had not locked the car when I was at the other end of town. This pre- heat is just for the seat not the steering wheel. They don't have different heat stages, just on/off. Once again, thanks
