For the price, compared to many more expensive cars, this is a very satisfying vehicle to own. Having come from a Jaguar 250 XF Estate costing nearly twice the price of the MG5 I am extremely pleased with the car. OK, it’s Chinese and some fabrics and plastics feel much cheaper than the Jag but they don’t detract from the overall pleasure. Just wish the windows had some tinting in them.

What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?

Gridserve. Only used public charging 3 times so difficult to make true comparisons. The first Osprey charger I tried didn’t work so they lose points for that. My wife used Gridserve twice recently with no problems at all so currently they are my preferred network.

List your top 3 favourite public charging networks (in order of preference)

• Gridserve
• Osprey.
