Does the MG Comet's quirky design work in its favour or against it?

It is this quirky design that makes me feel better about driving a small, affordable EV. It's too cool to be just a 'real' car, it looks intentional.

Comet has its own market but I don't see it competing with the Tiago EV seriously. People trust Tata more in India, they have a much stronger brand.

The Comet can definitely compete, I think. The Tiago is just an electrified version of a regular car, whereas the S1 offers something really different. The Comet's small size is a big plus for city dwellers.

I've driven them both and I'd say they are for different buyers. The Comet is perfect if you want a zippy little urban runabout and the Tiago feels more like a 'real' car. Both have room in the market.

What’s lacking is the fast charging that the Tiago EV has. The result is that it severely limits its practicality for anything beyond short city trips.

For me MG’s after sales service is still a question mark. I have more confidence in long term ownership thanks to Tata’s much larger network.

In fact, it's the Comet's secret weapon: its unique design. The more conventional Tiago doesn’t turn heads and get people talking, whereas this one does. It could compete on that free marketing.

India is a price king, and Comet is overpriced for what it offers. You get much more car for your money with the Tiago EV.
How well does the Astor hold up over the long haul?

I’ve had my Astor for over a year now and it still feels as solid as the day I got it. No rattles, no loose panels. This one is build quality well nailed by MG.

It hasn't had as positive an experience as I have. After just 6 months the door seals started making noise, and the infortainment system has frozen a couple of times. The price is not terrible, but for the price I expected better.

It depends, I think, on how you maintain it. I've religiously serviced and after 18 months my Astor still feels like brand new. A little TLC goes a long way.

I can say the Astor definitely feels more premium, coming from a Hyundai. I'm worried about long term durability, though. Can only time tell if it will match the reliability of more established brands?

It’s decent build quality, but not great. It's up there with the others in the segment, but don't expect Volkswagen levels of solidity. It’s a step up from budget cars but isn’t quite premium.

I’ve put 30,000 km on mine and it’s been beautiful. It's still got a fresh paint job and there are no rattles to speak of. I'm impressed.

There is nothing disappointing in exterior build quality but inside, the quality of plastics is a bit of cheap. Piano black trim is a scratch magnet. This is not a deal breaker, but you should know that.
Do some reviews claim that the Astor's infotainment system is as laggy as it is?
07 January 2025 06:25
I've had my Astor for about 8 months now and yeah, the infotainment occasionally lags. It’s not a deal breaker, but it can be annoying when you’re trying to quickly change something while driving.

I don't have lag issues, am I the only one? 99% of the time, mine works fine. Perhaps I just happened to have luck on my unit?

It’s real lag, but it’s improved with updates. When I first got the car, it was pretty bad, but now it's mostly smooth sailing. It’s not as snappy as my phone, yet.

I think people are too hard on Astor's infotainment. It’s not perfect, but it’s still one of the best systems in its class. Everything from the screen to the features is top notch.

There's definitely a lag, especially with Android Auto. It sometimes takes a good 5–10 seconds to respond. On this front MG needs to step up its game.
