troniccrypt Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hello, Tomorrow i am going to purchase a MG ZS 1.5 X for 789k from a maindealer as a runaround for my wife and kids. I was wondering if anyone here can give me any feedback with regards to MG ZS ownership experience. Interested in the remote control by voice aspect. Know that it is in Thai language only, wonder if it is possible to change that. Also, with respect to the Maindealer. I am a cash buyer. The quoted price is 789k. Is there any value haggling? Maybe offer 750k and throw in a couple of gourds. Seems the car is fully loaded. So don't know what I can add. Finally, I asked about the ability to drive abroad (laos, Malaysia, etc) and queried if the standard Thai license plate was sufficient, the dealer said yes. But I only see numeric number plates with Thailand written on it overseas. Am I missing something here. Cheers for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't own that model, but for cash it's always good to try to haggle shop around and ask for freebies that usually they give if you ask, and whatever the dealer tells you, take it with a pinch of salt, those guys knowledge about other information is very limited beyond selling you a car and say yes to everything only to relieve you of your money and get you out of the showroom...

ronaldo0 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Any feedback on the car ? Seen a lot of them yesterday on koh samui and good looking little thing in black and when I looked it up online it seems packed with stuff . Thinking about one for the wife to pop down the shops in etc and the few comments I seen from owners on thai visa seemed quite positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troniccrypt Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Update. Made the purchase. Bought the ZS and gave it to my wife. She has driven it for 6 weeks now and really loves it. The children are happy too. Parking is the simplest thing ever thanks to the rear, side and front sensors and the rear camera. The car is fully loaded, even comes with a crash camera and its own phone number. The onboard system is amazing. So many features that I printed the manual. The satnav is amazingly accurate. I have driven it twice now, only short distances and it handles really well. I think this car is excellent value. It is safe and drives smoothly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many Thais have a clue about the MG heritage, so it might as well be called a CMM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I did wonder why there is a 4 year warranty in LOS and 7 in the UK...???? https://mg.co.uk/mg-zs/7-year-warranty/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The designs looks good and the quality might be ok, but I would be more worried about the lack of spare parts. There are stories on the MG message boards of people having to wait 2 to 3 months for a windshield as these are imported by SAIC from China. Also the fact that certain "cheap" parts such as oil filters, air filters, etc are way more expensive than their Japanese counter parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bought it for your wife, and if she likes it that's all that really matters. There will be no benefit in canvassing members for their opinions.

Matt the Cat Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Chinese are catching up for sure just don't tell a local where it's made or they might get very angry, to say the least, as they thought they bought an English car. ????
