I've got the Trophy and I love it but there's one annoying loud beep that comes on for about 10 times before it goes off. It usually comes on when I'm on the motorway or A roads. I have no idea how to turn this off. Can you help?
I agree and by elimination I think it's the Lane Departure Audible warning which you can turn off in the MG Pilot menu. It's too high pitched and goes on for far too long. Hopefully that will do the trick, if not I'm going back to the dealer 🤞
@@thechatterguys hi there. I've tried the Lane Departure Audible switch and unfortunately it didn't work! Any other ideas before I ring the dealer? Cheers
We purchased one. For the price, this car offers excellent value 🙂 Gearbox is a little weird but fine as long as your NOT an aggressive driver. Use the torque and she gets up to speed in no time. Only driven for 20 minutes but tbh we loved the drive. Forward vision is very clear and safe. We got the SE in silver, looks fab!
Hope you have many more happy miles to come. I'm trusting the MG Pilot more every day. I find it a pleasure to drive. The more I see of the silver colour, it's a great choice
Good video, I`ve ordered a Trophy in Arctic White....just jealous of those saying theirs are being delivered in days...mine not expected until late July, possibly early August
Thank you and hopefully it might get here sooner. I was lucky that I took a risk and pre ordered before any reviews were out and the car hadn't arrived in the UK. It will be worth your wait
Great video I’ve ordered mine still waiting for it to arrive they recon another week 🤞 i went for white the SE model as seemed to suit what I needed hope your enjoying your car 😊
Nice one it won't be long now. Someone in our village has a white SE great choice. You will see on an upcoming video why choosing Black is a nightmare to keep clean! I'm loving it though, a pleasure to drive. Happy MG Motoring!
Yes they seem to be popular which is good 😊, oh brilliant I’ll keep a look out for that I’ve subscribed to you anyway so I’ll be looking out for your next video 😍
Came across your channel and have subscribed. i collected my new MG3 Hybrid + Trophy in Battersea Blue on Saturday 4th May. Enjoying very much still getting used to the tech. Great Review 😊
Thank you. Oh wow, I keep looking at that colour and wishing I had waited a bit longer. I would have either picked the Blue or Red. The black was the best colour they were expecting in the garage when I ordered it. But I'm not too disappointed in the Black! Blue does look amazing. The only issue I have with the tech is still the random warning that comes on now and again. I've turned off one of the warnings tonight to see if that helps 🤷♂️ Glad your enjoying yours

Great review, I’ve been waiting for a review for this car since it’s release, an honest review from a regular customer and not a review from a car salesman. Did you manage to find out what the annoying noise was that kept warning you about something? also do the display screens have a day and night mode or do they remain dark mode?
Thank you Tony that's appreciated. I'm still trying to work that out. I've turned off one of the warnings tonight that the garage suggested, in the hope of an elimination process! Does not help that the only owners manual is on the info screen, the PDA has not been signed off yet to go on the website. I've not come accross any options to change from dark mode, but they are very clear and responsive. When you have android auto on the screen you have to press the home button to active the air con controls, but I had that on my old car, so it's not too distracting. All in all, I find it a fantastic car.
@@thechatterguys You'll find that that beep keeps going to warn of speed cameras and will go off once you pass it. Not sure if you can turn it off or make it quieter.
Thanks for you comment Anne, we found out that you can turn off the alerts within the sat nav settings, so now I have no faults with the. It just seems to get better with every drive 🚗
Hi guys, sorry to ask another question but is the Android auto and Apple play wireless or do you have to use a cable? I’m glad to hear the annoying bleeping sound has been sorted via the sat nav settings. I’ll be getting the trophy model in Dynamic red.
Fantastic choice of colour, I really wished I had waited for the dynamic red. I hace a wireless adaptor I use, which didn't come with the car, normally you would have to use a wire. Not sure if the adaptor I use, works with iPhone. And you can choose to use the entertainment display in dark more/light mode or adjustable. Thanks for your comment and I really hope you enjoy your car 🚗
Thank you very much for your time doing this review. I do have a question if you dont mind : I never drove something with Lane assist, is it any good on this car compared to other ones you have driven?
I've only driven a toyota corolla hybrid with Lane assist and it compares very much similar, it does take some getting used to, it's remembering to put the indicators on, if you forget, the vehicle doesn't like moving lanes 😂 I would prefer it being on though
Really good, I wear hearing aids, so sound quality is important for me, it was a worry, but surprisingly I can hear so much better than my old car. Hyundai i10, even on the mway it's very clear. I think you will love it
Thanks for your answer, this really worries me. Also, I’ve just done a test checking some quotes with insurances, my god, the prices are so high! 1300 is my cheapest quote
@@thechatterguys I believe what is keeping the prices high is that only a few insurance providers recognise the model. My current car is registered with Aviva, and on Aviva the MG3 hybrid model doesn't exist. I used the reg number of the car that was at the dealership and compare the market was able to see it, but also only gave me like 4-5 quotes. My guess is that the model isn't recognised by insurance providers yet and this is what keeps the few prices higher. I could be wrong, but the fact that I can't even access a quote online from Aviva is incredible
Could you please give an idea of how many miles per tank this does? Maybe you can fill it and see how many miles you can do by the time the low fuel light comes on :) car looks great so thanks for this video. Also I'm curious about how the engine sounds when you accelerate hard, it'd be great to hear this. I'm considering the trophy model in blue :)
It's averaging 50mpg at the minute, since I filled up, that's been mainly urban driving. However, I am going on a longer run tomorrow, mostly motorway, so it will be interesting to see if that changes. I did accelerate hard on an overtaking situation, it was smooth and left over cars in dust, not much extra noise from the engine that I noticed
This review was proper professional . I do prefer cars from the 70's & 80's they had class , character , individuality and beneath the bonnet you knew were everything was and you could even do your own repairs . Also, you knew you were driving it . ☺️🌟❤️🚘
Absolutely, I would take a car from that era any day. My dream car was always a Ford Capri Mk2, you felt like you were setting on the floor, but wow when you floored the pedal and I was only a scared passenger. Now that was a beautiful car 🚗 and thank you
He we have since learned it is a audible waning coming from the SatNav, and you can turn that off. It comes on even if you are not using the SatNav. It's a warning for when you are in a built up are, speed cameras, accident spots etc. Once i found that out, the car is a joy to drive 🚗 😄

Thank you. WOW that looks an amazing car, I have seen these at motor car shows but never driven one. Do you think it compares looks wise to the new MG cyberster?
@@thechatterguys funnily enough the MG Cybester looks very much like my Lotus Evora I’d never heard of it until now Looks a nice car but I’m a petrol head & love the sound 😃
Thank you for the driving report. Something I Miss here in Germany, where this car was only introduced, but never test driven. I consider to buy that car to save petrol here in Berlin, where we have that much traffic jam.
Thank you for your lovely comment. I dont drive a lot of miles, and luckily not in traffic jams. It's delivering really good mpg. Give it a test drive when you can. I think you will be pleasantly surprised
@@thechatterguys Sadly the vehicle is currently not available for viewing in continental Europe and is not available for test drives also. But it should still be possible till end of second quater 2024. I will definitely do a test drive when it will be possible and then decide whether to buy it. A question about the seat heating: how many temperature levels does it have (1, 2 or more)? Thanks.
You both deserve everything good that life can give you both are a joy to watch great future and love watching you are very genuine guys a rarety in this world good people are hard to find sadly 😳🤔😤 keep up the good work 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing this, it looks amazing! I've been looking at getting one 😊💜 I used to have an MG ZR and that was ace! We can have our own little car rally 😁 xxxxxxxxxx
Hi there. Nice review ans very informative. Im off to Leeds today to test a Trophy. I love the one in blue. Im looking forward to seeing the car and hoping they'll give me a good price for my car.
I hope they do give you a good price Andrew, it's the only regret that I didn't wait for a good colour. I would have chosen the blue or red. I dont think you will be disappointed. Thanks for your comment 👍
Don't hang on to it too long. I had to scrap my MG because they stopped making spares for it. It was only seven years old. Our dealership is dissuading potential customers from buying MG and persuading them to buy Dacia instead. I'll never buy MG again.
Thanks for your comment, I have noticed in the hot weather it's spending most of the time in EV mode. I won't feel comfortable buying a EV till the charging technology is better
Good looking car. It's probably made in China. Having said that, so was my 2005 Honda Jazz I bought new, and that turned out to be very reliable. Take one of these over any similar priced VW product 👍
Very nice car , nothing like it when you get a new car 🚗 the way you told us all about the car and gadgets you make a good car sales man and you could start doing car reviews for us as well as restaurants and hotels 😂
I like the Dacia sandero I don’t like automatics I wish mg had brought out a manual greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 the mg3 is too expensive for me I afraid
The Manual all petrol version will be released later in the year, will be interesting to see how cheaper this will be. The Dacia Samdero looks a very comfortable car
I hope you enjoy it half as much as I am, it's a beautiful, fast and efficient ride, can't fault it. I have another video ready for Friday, covering my first 250 miles, some good tips I've found 😀
My thoughts exactly, it wasn't just the salesperson that told me though, it was also a few RUclips reviews. Tbh with our good it's been so far, I won't be trading mine in any time soon.
The thing to watch with any MG is the build quality and transmission, this includes the gearbox and clutch, which can sometimes fail. Also, this can add to the poor MPG spec of the car. This is why normally MGS can be cheap on insurance as their parts are based on older technology which is cheap to fix but not for the consumer. Apart from the above, they look great and can be packed full of tech. The trims are higher spec than the European manufacturers too.
Hi Colin e thanks for your rewiew: I'll look forward further another videos about it. I'm an italina guy e I'm intrested with this new MG3 hybrid. Can I ask you your opinion about this What Car? video ruclips.net/video/KkH6f47T1KY/видео.html . they compared MG3 and new suzuky swift. Mg3 came out like loser. Thanks in advance and I'll stay connected !!!
Thank you for your comment and the video link, I found the comparison very subjective. Comparing manual transmission to automatic and expecting similar results is bonkers. I had 65mpg on a recent 165 mile jounrey. They also said the cabin noise was loud on the mg but failed to mention noise from the swift. The only real fault they found with the mg was the adjustable seat and lack of split fold on the back seat, which is not a problem for me. I found the review favoured the swift too heavily. I hope to have another upload shortly. 🇮🇹🚘
I had only just renewed my policy on my old car Hyundai i10 (which I presume is in a much lower insurance group) that was £420, to insure this with another insurance company, as mine wouldn't cover was £620
If it's anything to go by previous mg3 models the reliability won't be great and some parts are silly expensive. Don't mean to appear negative it's just from experience. I really like this model to be fair.
It's my first time with an MG3 so let's hope they have put all the experience gained into this newer model. So far it's returning good economy and it's been very comfortable to drive. But I do agree with your thoughts on the previous models. They were good value for some.
@@thechatterguys yes they do seem to be getting better and better to be fair. I think these new ones will be very popular if the reliability stacks up.
Anything German really the quality is just better. I work for a company which deals with ex motability cars alot of them are MGs mostly ZS and HS suvs the interior quality after 2 or 3 years of use doesn't hold up well. But my biggest annoyance with MG is the lack of rust protection underneath on the chassis they rust around the welds. I would definitely recommend getting it protected if you are keeping the car any length of time.
@@interceptor-ss8kb Well it is a cheap car so the interior is usually the place they can save the most money as a manufacturer. What's the closest German car size and performance wise? Polo GTI DSG but you would expect it to be a much better car as it costs 50% more.
No complains from me on the comfort of the car, a long jounry was very comfortable and the tech compliments the driving but doesn't take the comfort out of it either
MG's are great cars its such a pity the MG3 didnt come with a smaller petrol engine and a 20kwh battery. Then it would be truly as hybrid. If it could do 50 miles on electric it would be perfect
I am really enjoying the driving experience. If it was a bigger battery would it have needed to be plugged in? I couldn't be doing with that. I'll be filming my thoughts soon on my first 1k miles

Nice review ans very informative.
Im off to Leeds today to test a Trophy. I love the one in blue. Im looking forward to seeing the car and hoping they'll give me a good price for my car.
I hope they do give you a good price Andrew, it's the only regret that I didn't wait for a good colour. I would have chosen the blue or red. I dont think you will be disappointed. Thanks for your comment 👍

Electric vehicles only when you fully charge in 10minutes.
Thanks for your comment, I have noticed in the hot weather it's spending most of the time in EV mode. I won't feel comfortable buying a EV till the charging technology is better
Did you find the insurance expensive, only three insurance companies quoted on Compare the market?
I did unfortunately. I've never paid as expensive on insurance, cheapest I got was Admiral.
11:07 another thing, this isn't even sold in China. It was designed & engineered for the UK
And such a good job they have made of it. It's a beautiful ride
EVs are the future if you have the luxury of a driveway. What’s not to like at running a car at 1.6p per mile
That's very good value, we have a driveway but for the small amount of mileage I do, the cost of an EV was not worth it. Maybe next car 🤞
Good looking car. It's probably made in China. Having said that, so was my 2005 Honda Jazz I bought new, and that turned out to be very reliable. Take one of these over any similar priced VW product 👍

If you have to ask 🙄
It's calculated and used to work out future values for PCP etc.
It's surely a buyers interpretation of 'good'. My Mrs is a good cook - not sure who would agree. 😊
Disappointing to say the least, If you don't know what's going on try asking the dealer before you embarrass yourselves further.
Thanks for your comment 👍 I'll try better next time
All electric no no no great video 🙏
Thank you, appreciated 👍
Ah, actually thought you did fine if it's your first car vlog. Just looked at the What Car MG3 review and yours compared well, clearly vfm 🎉
Thank you, our normal vlogs will be forthcoming 🤣
Nice motor
Thank you! 👍
Im saying nothing but #jealousashell 🎉❤,enjoy guys
Thanks! It's done amazing on a longer journey. 65.3 mpg on a 87 miles motorway journey. I wasn't expecting that!
The thing to watch with any MG is the build quality and transmission, this includes the gearbox and clutch, which can sometimes fail. Also, this can add to the poor MPG spec of the car. This is why normally MGS can be cheap on insurance as their parts are based on older technology which is cheap to fix but not for the consumer. Apart from the above, they look great and can be packed full of tech. The trims are higher spec than the European manufacturers too.
Thanks for your comment, I will keep this in mind. It's definitely got a lot of tech for your money
Nothing old technology on any modern model
Hi Colin e thanks for your rewiew: I'll look forward further another videos about it. I'm an italina guy e I'm intrested with this new MG3 hybrid. Can I ask you your opinion about this What Car? video ruclips.net/video/KkH6f47T1KY/видео.html . they compared MG3 and new suzuky swift. Mg3 came out like loser. Thanks in advance and I'll stay connected !!!
Thank you for your comment and the video link, I found the comparison very subjective. Comparing manual transmission to automatic and expecting similar results is bonkers. I had 65mpg on a recent 165 mile jounrey. They also said the cabin noise was loud on the mg but failed to mention noise from the swift. The only real fault they found with the mg was the adjustable seat and lack of split fold on the back seat, which is not a problem for me. I found the review favoured the swift too heavily. I hope to have another upload shortly. 🇮🇹🚘
How much was the insurance. A ball park figure anybody know.
I had only just renewed my policy on my old car Hyundai i10 (which I presume is in a much lower insurance group) that was £420, to insure this with another insurance company, as mine wouldn't cover was £620
@@thechatterguys Thanks
👍
If it's anything to go by previous mg3 models the reliability won't be great and some parts are silly expensive. Don't mean to appear negative it's just from experience. I really like this model to be fair.
It's my first time with an MG3 so let's hope they have put all the experience gained into this newer model. So far it's returning good economy and it's been very comfortable to drive. But I do agree with your thoughts on the previous models. They were good value for some.
@@thechatterguys yes they do seem to be getting better and better to be fair. I think these new ones will be very popular if the reliability stacks up.
Not related to the original MG3 any any way
How can the garage tell you it's got a good resale value utter bollox it'll be far worse than any European car MG is renowned for depreciation 😊
Thanks for your comment 👍 it's far cheaper than any other European car, so I'll take the drop on depreciation
Couldn't live with that interior it looks typically cheap MG quality.
Thanks do you comment, but it's a lot better than my old hyundai 68 i10, what are you comparing this to?
Anything German really the quality is just better. I work for a company which deals with ex motability cars alot of them are MGs mostly ZS and HS suvs the interior quality after 2 or 3 years of use doesn't hold up well. But my biggest annoyance with MG is the lack of rust protection underneath on the chassis they rust around the welds. I would definitely recommend getting it protected if you are keeping the car any length of time.
@@interceptor-ss8kb Well it is a cheap car so the interior is usually the place they can save the most money as a manufacturer.
What's the closest German car size and performance wise? Polo GTI DSG but you would expect it to be a much better car as it costs 50% more.
Thank you. I will look into that.
No complains from me on the comfort of the car, a long jounry was very comfortable and the tech compliments the driving but doesn't take the comfort out of it either

Thank you for your comment 👍
MG's are great cars its such a pity the MG3 didnt come with a smaller petrol engine and a 20kwh battery. Then it would be truly as hybrid. If it could do 50 miles on electric it would be perfect
I am really enjoying the driving experience. If it was a bigger battery would it have needed to be plugged in? I couldn't be doing with that. I'll be filming my thoughts soon on my first 1k miles
It's not an MG whatever the reviews says. Its still a chinese cheaply built car as an ex MG owner It's an insult get rid 😊
Thanks for your comment, but I'll be keeping, vs my last Hyundai it's built a lot better
A very expensive Chinese takeaway
Thank you for your comment, Philip. We would be fascinated to hear about your experience with the MG3 🚗
Not take away . What is in uk what is in china ?..
