I am picking up a blue 4H one this Saturday.. so I guess it's time to say hi !
loved the test drive but immediately noticed the road and wind noise above 50mph .. even my 12 year old Diesel Mercedes was more quiet at higher speeds... but seeing as I am in Greater London 99% of my driving this won't be much of a problem I understand this is one of the things they are improving in the 2016 model -- but I can't wait !!
I am unfortunate enough to have a company car hire scheme that only goes up to cars worth approx £20k so I couldn't take advantage of the 5% BIK (Call me crazy but I'm actually buying this car on standard finance ) .. which also makes me wonder if I should have gone for a BMW 5 series instead ! But I do like the additional space. And the preheating app!
I plan on leaving an old phone permanently on it with a pay as you go sim card and a shared data plan (vodafone red+) so I can (hopefully) VPN to the phone and use the PHEV app from distances greater than the car wifi, and that can also work as a poor man's vehicle tracker .. what's the best "hiding" place for a phone with access to a usb plug? (With as little rewiring as possible)
I love how it has the electric drive technology but just looks like a normal car -- not spaceship!
