Hi there everyone...
This site has been of great value already to me as a lurker, but time has come to change my car and I was hoping to get some input on my individual circumstances.
My daily commute is from rural Co.Derry in Northern Ireland into Derry city (around 3/4 miles of small hills and then 7 miles dual carriageway and finally 2 miles of city traffic-not to heavy in Derry compared to say London ), this is approx around 13-15 miles one way. I can (hopefully) charge during the day whilst at work in the free e-car charge points around the city centre so would be hopeful of using very little petrol. So far so good, as from what I've read this phev is made for short journey's. Now at the weekends I would do quite a few more miles, either to Belfast (approx 140 mile round trip) or into Donegal and I know I wouldn't get much more than 35mpg.
Does anyone else have experience of doing similar mileage and would they recommend the phev? Off-road capability is also of inteest but not a deciding factor. Thanks for any input.
