I wasnt accusing you of speeding or breaking the law, I know that limits are different and if you want to drive at that speed that's absolutely fine. I'm just surprised that you are disappointed that the economy is not great, as driving at that speed in an 1800kg SUV is not not going to be good...

I am generally doing 70-75 mph on the motorway and have no problem achieving 35mpg at that speed. I note that you like to drive at 90-95mph on the motorway, so its hardly surprising that you are going to get a significantly lower mpg figure. But presumably you must have known / expected when...

In my experience the opposite is true, i.e. the total range predicted is usually well short of what I can actually achieve. With a full battery, and full petrol tank, it quotes c.300 miles but bearing in mind the petrol tank capacity is 10 gallons, and you can reasonably expect to average 35mpg...

I agree.....but equally following a 'Don't Touch' approach will not result in a bad outcome. Whilst it may not be as optimal as using charge / save / paddles in an appropriate manner, for those who don't want to make the effort or are unsure of how to use the buttons, then 'Don't Touch' is a...

Re the range indicator, both of my previous car have done exactly the same, ie they show a predicted range until it gets down to about 25-30 miles and then it doesn’t show anything. That doesn’t mean your tank is empty and you are going to immediately grind to a halt, but it pretty much tells...

Lots of posts on this forum on those very subjects, so have a search around and you should find lots of detailed responses. But for what its worth, my take on it is: - Charge should only be used if you are going to be able to use EV mode efficiently at your journeys end. So if you are driving...

Don’t want to go over old ground from the other thread, but to title your list as ‘Wrong Design Decisions’ is somewhat presumptuous and misleading. You might think they are wrong, but others might not…..

It seems to me that you are in the wrong job, as clearly you should have been a car designer. I look forward to you bringing out a 2 ton SUV that accelerates from 0-60mph in 7 seconds, has a top speed of 150+ mph, returns 50+mpg in petrol mode, has a battery range of 200+ miles, has the off...

Agreed. I dont think anyone on here has a problem with anyone who comes on to make observations, suggestions or even criticisms about things on the car. But when we are continually told that these are bugs (when they are not, thats just how the car was designed) and/or that it is all part of...

My final comment is in line with what jaapv has said - there is a clear difference between a bug (something which doesn't work as it should do) and a design decision (where something operates in line with the decision taken by Mitsubishi, but an individual driver doesnt like it). I certainly...

Yes, its not only your point of view, but just because you, and a small number of others dont like the current design doesnt make it a bug, it just means its something that you are not happy with. Plenty of people, myself included, have no problem with the current set up so what makes you think...

On a car as complex as this, with so many features which are different to 'normal' cars, it is always the case that compromises will have to be made and decisions taken about what is the right approach to make the car work for the majority of people. You go on about these bugs and mistakes, but...

I noticed that this morning as well, having only started to use the preheating this week. Temperature was 4C outside, and when I went to the car it looked like the windscreen was half defrosted whereas the windscreen on my wife’s car was completely clear. On getting in to the PHEV it...

Can't say I have noticed any difference in projected range figure depending on whether I charge from zero or from half full. But as you rightly say, its only a guess so is not particularly relevant anyway. Unless there is any evidence that the actual range achieved is different when charging...

I'm just outside Edinburgh, and for me a full charge generally reads between 20-26 miles. Has been around the 25 mile mark for the past few months over the summer, but I've never seen it higher than 27. In any case, its not the predicted range that is important, its what you actually get/ My...

I'm pretty sure that in my last two cars the digital clock only worked when the ignition was on, so if you simply unlocked the door and sat in the car you wouldnt see anything as none of the displays were active, so I dont see how the PHEV is any different here ? As others have said, one press...

Having 0% battery on the guage simply shows that the dealer hasn't charged it up, probably because they either dont have a dedicated charging point or cant be bothered hooking it up to a normal 3 pin socket. And yes, when the guage says zero, it still has about 30% charge in the battery so...

Assuming you mean the display in between the dials which simply shows the number of miles travelled since reset (rather than the Auto or Manual displays in the MMCS) then I think the simple answer is that no, there is no way to do this automatically.

Of all the possible display options this one is, in my opinion, the most useless. It only ever shows anything if you are braking, accelerating or cornering hard....all of which are precisely the times you should be looking at the road not at the dashboard display. I see it whenever I cycle...

Surely your first port of call is to go back to whoever sold you the car and ask them to either provide the SD card or cover the cost of a new one ?
