MG HS ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

Thank You. Well, availability of Hi- Octane is not an issue in Islamabad but it seems too expensive for regular use.

[aliabbassyed]

Thank You.
How is paint and built quality of MS HS and also share your reviews about suspension.

[pwuser159259702854]

It’s not even a problem for me who lives in faisalabad

[pwuser159259702854]

The build quality is fantastic it’s solid and doesn’t have any flimsy parts and paint quality is excellent as per my experience it is better then any other locally assembled car

[saadafaq]

Really? MG parts are already available in the market? That's quite a positive news if true. What are avg prices for let's a side mirror or headlight? And how long do you have to wait to get it?
As for resale i think only time will tell. Too soon to say as right now the resale is driven by artifical hype/ shortage of supply and the fact that it's a new launch. There is a lot of uncertainty around local production, parts availability, service centre network and local build quality and all of these will determine the eventual resale market. The current prices with +1m on are by no means a measure of good resale value

[pwuser159259702854]

I asked for headlights and they said 2 lacs for the pair which is quite decent compared to Sportage and Tucson their parts are equal to their prices if not cheaper
Once the car becomes common on the roads only then we can tell if it retains its value but as there is so much own on it I don’t think it will lose value

This has happened before so anyone considering an MG should keep this in mind... with changing governments something even passed in legislation can change when money is involved..

[fazalwahab11375]

I have heard that declared price of MG HS might increase by $2000 +/- . Mean $11632 currently as is will change. Obviously means 123.77% duty on $13632 something.. Expect a price change. Again nothing is confirmed. Someone from the industry is predicting and shared it with me few weeks ago.

[shapeesh]

this policy and the decision are whats called a "hail marry" where as MG is using the gov own prices devised a long time ago to import the vehicles. It can come in tax avoidance but not under tax evasion or a wrong policy thing.
But then again courts in Pakistan can decide what ever they feel like on anything other than justice itself.

Went to MG's Islamabad showroom today. This is by far the best of the new crossovers in the market. Barring issues with availability and parts, this car is an absolute no-brainer. The ZS however is not worth the price. Civic/Grande are far better options.

[Nabs]

Yes it looks good, but the main problem is its turbo engine requiring high-octane fuel and its DCT transmission, which is prone to failures.

And always remember, more features means that more things can fail over time. MG has no track record of reliability. I think its a risky purchase.

[darthvader]

True, but there's no track record for Proton, Glory, Tuscon or any of the other new brands. If you're going to take a leap of faith, I'd go with HS.

[pwuser159259702854]

Agreed HS seems to be the best option if reliability is concerned we have to see if it stands the test of time

[Nabs]

Yea, the engine fire risk in Tucson and Sportage is also worrying. Major recall and fines against KIA/Hyundai going on in U.S. against these fires.

I don't know what to buy anymore.

[shapeesh]

can anyone tell me what is the tax brackets for import of new cars? the divisions I see on the FBR website is for used cars for the expat scheme (more like a ponzy scheme by fbr for expats)

[the129man]

True
But the car also has a 4 year warranty

[the129man]

In my opinion proton and mg Hs provide the best value for money, with the most innovative features

The safest option to go for is sportage

Tuscon really has nothing special about it except it’s exterior looks

[fazalwahab11375]

Here you go.

Dear All,

I want to share my personal experience with MG After Sales Services Team (sector I-10). I was considering purchasing MGHS as I posted earlier as well and got good reviews from this forum so, I thought to pay a visit to after Sales Service Centre before booking.

I visited I-10 MG work shop with my friend. The situation was not impressive as F-7’s team was dealing entirely with a non-professional attitude. I met with supervisors Mr Ali and Manager Mr. Yasir. Their attitude was worst. When we requested them to show us the workshop, they refused. Upon our repeated insistence they let us visit. There they had only 2 lifts and they only have oil change service. And so far only 15 cars have got their oil changed. Upon inquiring about denting repairing facility, they told us that they have no such services and they provide new parts from 30-35 days. Paint booth and other services will be available after 5-6 months. Workshop was very obsolete. After this, I directly went to F-7 again to meet the same sales person, who then agreed with the story of I-10 team i.e they have no post sales services yet and only parts are available at outer market.

Please confirm, what is the situation of dealership in other cities.

PS: Booking of MGHS is blocked due to change in name of company.

Im not a pro MG guy but I dnt think any company would let people visit their workshops. In case you need to do it, you should get prior permission from their managment. Mostl dealerships would let you in if you have informed them in advance.
Also I dnt think after sales is a priority for MG right now, it would defo change in the future but right now they seem to be in an all out sales direction.
