Changan CS75 vs MG RX8 Comparison

I've been torn between plenty of cars to choose from. I drove a Lexus IS 300 for over 5 years and promised myself to not let go of it unless and only if I find something worthy of buying. I was looking for reliability, performance and beauty yet affordability when it comes to finance. The four things I aimed for coming together was never easy until I came across the CS75 Plus, what a gorgeous one! It stole my heart. I was spending nights on Google trying to find proper reviews of the car but I wasn't able to find more than one or two, which is why I am writing this review for folks that are hoping to find proper reviews from real owners. I wont lie, I was hesitant to get into the road of Chinese branded vehicles because everybody seemed so certain about how the quality of the car. But, walk into the showroom and get your hands on a CS75 Plus, feel the leather and try out the technology in it, try out the AC and the car's performance and safety features when driving, and you will know that it is worthy of buying. Let alone the 5 Year Warranty that comes with the car, you'd also be buying peace of mind. And guys, the Salesman, Mr. Wasim is seriously the best thing that the company has invested in. He is honest, straightforward, very very helpful all the way, even after the car is sold, he is willingly there to help if you had any concern or inquiry. I guess that I've said enough, just buy it, it is a beauty.

Extremely Disappointed with MG RX8 2020 and MG Service – Never Again I purchased the MG RX8 (2020 model) from an MG showroom in the UAE, and my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare from day one. Initial Experience (2020-2021): Just 30 minutes after taking delivery of the brand-new car, smoke started coming from the bonnet. The issue was diagnosed as a coolant problem. How can a brand-new car overheat within half an hour of delivery? After a few days, they returned the vehicle, only for the exact same issue to happen again – overheating and smoking. It took them over a month to return the vehicle after replacing several parts. Later, while charging my phone using the inbuilt wireless charger, the entire electrical system shut down and the car stalled in the middle of a busy Dubai road. They blamed the issue on my phone case (which was MagSafe), which makes no sense. Instead of fixing the charger, they simply disconnected it without my consent and said the issue might repeat if left as is. Unacceptable. Ongoing Problems (2023-2025): Despite repeated complaints, MG failed to resolve several serious issues: • Transmission noise between 40-60 km/h – a loud, worrying sound that got worse after each service. • Persistent steering and body vibrations while driving and especially while turning full left. • Turbo failure before 80,000 km, followed by engine oil sludge issues. • Poor service quality during the 80k km service – the car was returned dirty and misaligned. • Every time we raised a concern, they either said it was “normal” or claimed to have fixed it, when clearly, they had not. MG Service in Dubai – The Worst I’ve Experienced: The service centers are unresponsive, unprofessional, and clearly not equipped to handle or resolve technical issues seriously. Their “solutions” were either temporary or careless, often making the situation worse. In 2025, I finally sold the vehicle. My experience with the MG RX8 was extremely frustrating and disappointing. I will never purchase an MG again and strongly advise others to be cautious before considering one Do not recommend MG RX8 or MG service centers in Dubai.
