PHEV car

[Massimo Giovanni]

Anyone got one of these and any recommendations?
I am thinking of getting a Mitsibushi PHEV in near future as my mileage is generally 30 miles or less each day and so my fuel bill, from petrol, ought to shrink.
I need an estate SUV type so 330e BMW is out of the question until station wagon is being produced.
Thoughts peeps?

I'm holding out for the 330e touring I think, which is anticipated in the summer. Although COVID-19 has put car buying on the back burner for now.

If you're looking at a new car, seriously look at people like this:

Yes, that is a strong contender, my daughter has a 530e and gets about 35 mile on a charge, again no estate version yet: and golf e models are rarer than hens teeth.

35 miles, that all?

Yes, then it is onto petrol with a top up on the battery when it can. Admittedly that isn't a long distance but it does for town driving on my limited journeys. And more charging points will mean that for example, a Chelmsford or Bluewater trip it can be recharged there and a non petrol day racked up.

Hmmmmm
No idea if they are any good or not, but the example comparison on their website seems to assume that the buyer not using them has FA idea how to shop around.
Breakdown cover 144
Insurance for a 40 year old on a Zoe £1100 !
Seriously ?

But you don't have to take any of that. You can shop around, and get an even better deal. Even if you didn't you'd still be paying less than going to a dealer.

i think you have totally missed my point. Their example “illustrates how good their deal is by giving ridiculously inflated numbers.
Like I said they may be giving a decent deal, but their illustration is dog ****

I know what you meant. I think the example is there to sow the seeds and ensure people are aware that you can get insurance etc through them as well.

How about the BMW mini or 2 series phev, I don't think I have seen one, none for sale at Fairfields, are they any good?
The VW Gte golf and passata look fine but mega money.

I have a 2 series (not a PHEV) though and I love it...

I had a BMW MINI Countryman Plugin Hybrid Sport as a courtesy car a short while ago, was pretty nice to be fair although wasn't a lot of storage as you'd expect.
