Got my MG Comet's 1st service done: A highly practical car for city use

Will I recommend Comet? yes, if the need is only for the City, easy to handle, and easy to park.

BHPian mukeshannamalai recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

After one month, I scheduled my Comet's first service, which I completed today. This service primarily involved a routine inspection and they also performed a firmware update for TAV (an unfamiliar acronym to me). I'm content with the service I received, as everything was handled competently and there are no complaints on my end.

The car was given a thorough wash and cleaning. With a total of around 750 kilometres driven so far, I've found the Comet to be highly practical for city use. I've even opted for the Comet over my other small car for short trips, as it's remarkably easy to start and drive.

Charging the Comet once a week, either at my office or home, grants me a range of 170-180 kilometres per charge. While this range is satisfactory, it's worth noting that using the air conditioning reduces it slightly, though it can still provide about 200 kilometres without the AC running.

In summary, my experience with the Comet has been favourable after using it in my daily routine for commuting to work, shopping, and even a short highway journey, which it managed decently.

Will I recommend Comet? yes, if the need is only for the City, easy to handle, and easy to park. It takes away the stress of driving inside the city or to nearby short distances, you can just start and go. it's so convenient.

Few things require improvements.

  1. Front seat belt location - It is so inconvenient to pull the seat belt to wear, it is far away from the front seat, turning your whole body to pull the belt and you may end up getting cramps.
  2. Creep function - if they introduce Creep, it will be helpful in the city.
  3. Better Front seat under thing support.
  4. Slightly reduce A&B pedal heights.
  5. Tilt steering
