Exactly! I replied to the email with "No thanks! That makes it more expensive than petrol." Surely they've got their charging model wrong if it alienates the large PHEV market.

I'm pretty sure the markings on the paddles are just a carry over from using them for semi-auto gear change on other models. Mitsubishi just didn't bother re-tooling to remove or change the markings for the PHEV. You can imagine they mean whatever you want but they probably mean nothing! ;)

I don't think the ECO button makes any difference to overall economy, not in my pattern of usage anyway. I have mentioned this before on another thread though that I do actually think it has another use. By reducing throttle response it can make for a much smoother drive in stop/start traffic...

Had my first service today. Carried out by M&B Motor Group of Bradford. Overall it was a very good experience. The appointment was booked at less than 2 days notice, I was provided with a brand new ASX courtesy car, the service was carried out with no issues and the car was cleaned inside and...

I reverse in the dark every day and have never had a problem. I always thought the reversing light was to inform others that you are reversing, not to provide illumination for you to see where you're going and therefore the wattage is similar to an indicator rather than a headlamp. Isn't this...

I've never seen the reversing light... I'm usually driving when it comes on ;) What exactly is wrong with it?

...and the Green Cross Code man said "Stop, Look, Listen!" It's a stupid argument. If it makes pedestrians safer it's a good thing and of course, some people don't have the benefit of sight.

I agree. It is entirely natural for pedestrians to use their hearing along with their sight (assuming they are not visually impaired) to judge traffic conditions. Therefore I'm amazed there is even the option to switch the noise off. If there is the slightest chance that it helps to avoid an...

I have the 3h+ and am very happy with it. I prefer the seats to full leather but still get the benefit of heated front seats and the pre-heat function, which I do use every day at the moment. The reversing sensors are fine, my wife goes from her Chevy Spark (tiny) to the Outlander and has no...

I'm still on 1.3.7 I noticed the update but the "What's New" only says the following: 1. Fixes issue that Timer Charge does not work As I've not had any problem with this I didn't bother updating. Perhaps I'm missing things from 1.3.8 or 1.3.9 though??

I looked at the Merc too. Mine is a company car and I had two basic requirements when choosing a car. 1. Lowest possible BIK 2. Large, practical boot area (so SUVs and estate cars only) So the estate version of the Merc was an obvious contender alongside the Outlander. I was almost seduced by...

I do a 60 mile each way commute which is mostly motorway (although often congested). Charging at both ends (lucky to have free CYC charger in the office car park!) I can average over 70mpg if I keep motorway speed to 65mph. Pushing the speed up rapidly decreases this mpg and I've seen an...

I assumed this was intentional to prevent feedback on phone calls. It seems to work very well in my experience.

I tried to account for this in my video. I shouted "go" when I hit the floor with the pedal so that I would have a clear point to start the clock at zero. You can see that there is a delay between "go" and the car beginning to move and pick up speed. I suspect that this delay may be improved...

Sorry, I meant to set it to unlisted. You should be able to see it now.
