It's got 22k+ on it now, and my only problem has been recalcitrant remote opening.
Otherwise, a roaring bargain of a car. Enjoy!

As per my initial title " am I the first GM7 owner on the forum?" , you have not beaten me! (I was the first on the forum)

But it is good to see that you have already over one year of experience with a MG7 in China and drove already 22.000 Km. with it without any serious problems!
I just have driven 1000 Km. and I hope that my MG7 will show similar performance as yours!
In January we will drive to Hainan (China's only tropical Island) to spent some time in Wenchang, where we have bought a holiday apartment. From Chongqing that will be about 2000 Km. (We have driven the distance already a few times with my old car).
I will report on it later.

Hi. Technically correct, you were the first to buy an MG7 while a member of the forum.

We've driven to HaiNan a couple of times actually, but it's only about 700km from SZ. One of those was to Sanya, so well over 800km. Both times did it stopping only for food & fuel. You probably know that the ferry is about 500RMB each way, and leaves when there's enough business on board. One time we waited 4.5 hrs.
The one thing that crops up is the remote locking/unlocking. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Doesn't bother me much. Other than that and a fuel hose leak on my first fill up, nada.
I remain unhappy with the handling, but will wait for wty expiry before doing anything (unless I run into a hot deal on suspension parts). The car is far better than SAIC's "luxury" suspension would lead one to believe.

Hey guys! Roelof and Green&Blue

This is totally off topic but does the Mitsubishi Delica D5 live up to its name in China, what about the earlier Delica 1986 onwards such as the Delica L400 ?

I've owned a few here in the UK, all grey imports (even the Toyota Hilux Surf) now thats a beast......

Do you speak well of them ?

Regards Wes.

The only models on the website of Mitsubishi China are the following models:
ASX, PAJERO, OUTLANDER EX, LANCER EVOLUTION, LANCER EX,
GRANDIS and ECLIPSE.
So, no Delica in China.

Have a look in the attachement.

While cleaning up my computer files, I noticed this old link which motivated me to buying my MG7.
