Hi all,
I'm hoping to buy a used Mitsubishi GX4h - 64 plate with 65k miles on the clock.
As a bit of background I currently drive a Lexus CT200H which is hybrid and my previous car was a Nissan Leaf, so I'm am confident that the quirks of driving an Outlander won't be a shock to the system.
The big part of whether I take the plunge or not relates to how much the vehicle is going to cost me in fuel, both electric and petrol.
My commute to work is 21 miles which consists of city driving, a small section of motorway and then lots of hilly B roads.
I return the same route so there is quite a nice descent on the way home.
Realistically what can I expect on this 42 mile round trip, a ballpark figure for mpg would be great (my Lexus returns 50mpg) and an idea as to how long the battery may take me before it is fully depleted.
My leaf battery started to degrade after 3 years of ownership and the hills used to kill the estimated range.
Finally I've seen a few posts with concerns about the underside of the vehicles and potential rotting/rust - is this a rare or regular problem?
TIA
Paul
