  • Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we’d just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it’s good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.

    This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we’d filled once every three to four days.

    It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn’t be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)…

    Just terrible.
