I managed to get an extended test drive on the 4h.
About £36 worth of fuel at 1.24p.
So I got about 260 miles which got me 40mpg on average. This was 2 return commutes of around 120 miles with the added little trip with 2 full charges not 4. One charge on one end with about 6 miles local travel and the remaining motorway. Then again a return trip uncharged with the charge button pressed I got 36mpg. Then back again uncharged but with what was charged using the trip I got 40 mpg.
Then I charged it. Left the house on full charge and travelled 60miles on eco.
This gave me 60mpg.
The car was great and comfy to drive and I love the idea of driving an electric car its great when you see the indicator showing you that the car is running on battery and not engine and the regen set to 5 is pretty impressive.
I just wished that Mitsubishi could do a diesel hybrid. I don't think the phev in the petrol hybrid form could give me what I need for the daily motorway commute. However the car is great and I would love to own one if I did a shorter commute.
The mmcs is a little slow at times to react to buttons but I could live with that.
I had issues pairing my phone with the Bluetooth.
Overall I think the car is great and I really want one.
Maybe if I could charge at both ends of my commute id consider it even more.
Well done Mitsubishi! I just wish I could drive a little more gentle!![]()
maybe ask your boss if you can salary sacrifice some money in exchange of charging at work.
