Today I briefly swapped my mk8 for an MG4 Xpower to see if they’re as quick as the reviews make out.
Yes, it’s as quick as they make out. Bloody hell does it pick up speed rapidly.
It’s like being on a rollercoaster at full chat such are the G forces.
Despite mk8 Golfs not being exactly of VW like quality the interior of the MG is a step below, but if faced between a turgid ID.3 and an Xpower as a company car for example there really is no competition in my mind.
Great fun, and being as you can’t even order a sporty Golf anymore then a short wait for a MG4 Xpower is very compelling.
Oh, and it has an engine cover for the front motor, I checked…
