You’d have been doing well to get diesel 45mpg in an Evoque.
I just rented a Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV while back in the UK for 10 days and it just reinforced my opinion that PHEVs are a stupid compromise to be honest. It seemed really inefficient when the battery was flat (sub 30mpg!) and really inefficient in EV mode (no more than about 2 miles per kWh). On some longer trips starting with a full battery the economy seemed to settle at 42-45mpg which is probably what a regular diesel Evoque would have done but without using the electricity on top.
A full EV would have been much nicer.
But yes, hybrids aren't for everybody. Big mistake to get one and only do lots and lots of short journeys.
Congrats,Well I am off the ICE wagon, put an order in for the Hyundai Ionic 5 should be here by Christmas.
Congrats,
I would love one and have test driven a Premium in Galactic Grey and preferred it overall to the VAG Group equivalents and because of the 80's tech styling I put it above a Model 3 as well..
What spec did you go for?
I was offered an Ultimate with Tech/Eco packs for £47220 for December delivery, but I baulked at the financing options that just didn't make sense as it's really for the Mrs with me driving it very occasionally..
Grey, which is a bit boring, but it suits the car. Doesn't make it look quite so big.Nice, jealous! Hopefully mine arrives in next few weeks. What colour dis your boss get?
Yes indeed! Massive tablet in the middle ala Tesla, but with an added wheel. Lots of space inside, soft leather, etc. Funky door poppers for door handles.Apart from using the Mustang name I have always thought they looked good and great value for money. Good looks and well specced.
Probably did you a favour, lots of better options over a leaf out thereNearly bought a Leaf yesterday but unfortunately something came up which has dramatically changed my vehicle needs going forward before I'd committed to purchasing it and it would be the wrong vehicle. Glad I didn't go through with it as the salesman got quite narky with me despite being all no obligation kind of talk initially. I can understand the frustration it wasn't ideal but not very professional - wasn't like I'd left them in the lurch and made an effort to inform them as soon as possible - many people would have just left them hanging.
Funny how so many dealers are all smiles up front but once they've got your money (or not in this case) you see another side of them.
EDIT: Funny thing is though I didn't go ahead with that purchase I probably would have used them in the future but now I will likely avoid them.

That's fair enough, only you know what you need really.Being a little vague it suited my needs for what I thought was going to be the situation it would have been ideal for, was a fair price and had the features, etc. range maybe not as good as some of the competition but wasn't a huge issue but then circumstances outside of my control changed the situation I was in.
I quite like the Nissan Tekna trim level and design approach suits me so I tend to lean towards it over some of the competition.

I’m also trying Zap Map premium through CarPlay on the week trial. Pretty good, not perfect though so I’ll doubt I’ll continue with it.
