Problems with new (ex-demo) MG4

I don't think Eco setting makes much if any difference, and I crossed France this summer with no issues. 

Depends on car.

Old E-Niro it did, but you had the option in settings to turn HVAC to normal mode in ECO driving. New BYD has no such settings, but HVAC runs nice & cold on low temp in ECO driving mode.

I drove an MG EV4 today (hundreds of miles), and I can confirm the heating/ventilation system is an absolute dog's breakfast. It is incredibly weak. The temperatures vaguely relate to reality, ie if you put a higher number in, it will slowly, gradually, get a bit hotter. I ended up setting it to 27 deg C on the display. It wasn't 27, but it was the level I'd normally expect other cars when its set at 20-21.

Also, the Apple Carplay doesn't work properly and its a hardware issue (says the dealer).

The lane departure system tried to kill me 4 times, and almost killed a cyclist too, before I turned it off.

The cruise control doesn't work properly either. And the stereo is absolutely pathetic, at its highest volume setting I can talk over it.

When you spend a considerable amount less than an equivalent European/Japanese car, what do you expect? Same level of performance, everything to work properly???

Also…..this made me laugh, in the dealership there is an "event" celebrating 100 years of MG. The current MG is NOT the true MG.

I would suspect that nobody at the dealership even knows what the original "MG" are initials for either.

In my experience with an MG4, it stands for 'Mug's Game'

We really need to stop buying these Chinese branded cars. From what I’ve seen they are just garbage.
