At the Mitsi dealer yesterday I had a close look at an Outlander PHEV. We were actually there to replace my wife's ASX, but it got me pondering. I have a Discovery, which I do very, very low mileage on (it's about 18 months old and has less than 12k on), so I suspect I could be the ideal owner of a PHEV.
My driving is basically a series of 3 or 4 mile drives in and out of town (dropping kids off, and to and from the station), with the occasional 180 mile day up and down the A1.
So I've asked the dealer to do me some quotes on a GX4hs - i really miss the adaptive cruise on my old Volvo for driving on the A1, so that's another plus.
The only slight doubt is the "premium" feel of the Discovery and the fact (sounds daft) that I know I can get my bike bag upright in the back (meaning bike plus two kids fit on holidays). How have ex-LR drivers found the move in terms of quality and (particularly) space? I'll also miss the occasional use of seven seats.
So - assuming I can overcome these slight niggles (and there seem to be quite a few ex- Discovery drivers on here), what are delivery times like on the GX4hs? I've decided the GX5 doesn't offer five grands' worth of extra stuff, so it'll be the 4hs if anything.
