Hi All, As promised, here is my brief rundown of my first week with "the beast". Collected my car from Holdcroft Mitsubishi, Stoke - The standard option is to have the vehicle delivered by transporter but I prefer to collect and give it a good run back to Derbyshire ! The handover went well...

Thanks for all of the replies - I pick the car-up on Friday, this week is going so slowly... I have thought of a couple more questions please: 1) Charge Mode: Can I assume when Charge is selected, that by default it will also be in Save Mode ? (i.e. it will not "use" electrical charge for...

Hi, Another query please: I understand about using Charge Mode, in good time to ensure there is Battery Power available during the "challenging sections", (Climbs), however during the descents - is it possible to use the Paddles for regeneration whilst still leaving the Charge mode switched on...

Hi, Thanks for all the replies, very interesting and humerous ! I'll let you know how I get on, including the MPG for the trip and I'll update with my first impressions in a couple of weeks, when I have covered a few miles. Thanks again

Hi, I take delivery of a new GX4H next weekend and have a holiday planned in May to the very far north of Scotland. For those of you familiar with this route, (A9 through Sterling / Perth / Aviemore / Inverness and beyond), there are some quite challenging stretches - I am particularly...

Will be the proud owner of a Frost White GX4h on 13th March - Crosshill, between Ripley and Heanor

Hi, Does anyone have any experience of these Parking Sensors: http://www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/ They appear to be very neat and do not require any drilling - they stick to the inside of the Bumpers, although it does involve removing the Bumper in order to fit them. I look forward to any...

Hi All, Thanks very much for the replies - fully understood. Still, I am a little disappointed that the Grant does not have any affect on the P11D Value for Tax purposes, it is a Government based offer after all. Thanks again.

Hi All, I have just ordered a PHEV GX4h as my next company car due for delivery mid March. I have received a form to complete on behalf of the supplying dealer, which is effectively the "claim back" form for the £5K Government discount. My question is, as the Car will be leased by my Company...

HI, Thank you for all of your replies. I had a test drive on Friday afternoon and really enjoyed the near silent drive out of the centre of Derby, however, when entering a stretch of dual carriageway and accelerating relatively quickly, the increased noise of the engine, (sounds like it was...

Hi All, Thanks very much for all of your replies - It seems the consensus is: It shouldn't happen and if it does, it wont be for long and shouldn't affect performance. Regarding the Tank size, I thought that might be an issue for me, (I currently drive a Diesel Mazda 6 averaging 58 mpg and...

Hi, I am considering an Outlander PHEV for my next company car for obvious BIK reasons. As always, (with any purchase !), I have looked at loads of reviews, had a really good look around the car at my local dealer in Derby and I am really excited about the prospect of owning the Car - I have...
