Likely to 'let go' of the PHEV early next year and no point in letting the dealer benefit from the extras. So there will be rear seat entertainment system (2 x DVD), dog guard and rubber boot mat available. Any interest?

Loads. June 14 car.

Thanks jdsx - I vaguely remember seeing this post now (maybe I just haven't actually posted anything for a year or so). It's a very good point and having a gangly 6 foot 15 year old in the car at the time cannot be discounted. Does it explain the inability to cancel cruise I wonder? At least...

Hi Folks, first time I've visited her for a year or so, so forgive me if this is a commonly discussed topic. Looking for anyone who may have had any similar experiences. Or if you can point me towards previous threads to save me searching and searching (not an easy topic to find a good keyword...

Never knew that. Thanks Mitsubishi :evil:

No questions raised about batteries by anyone at quote stage but if you continue to find problems you might want to consider Mitsubishi's own insurance - that's what I went for.

+2. It's not so much the difference between 3 and 5 hours to full charge - it's how much extra the dedicated charger will squeeze into your battery if you have an odd hour or so between runs. Perfect for Dad's taxi runs!

Here you go. The discussion starts around page 2 but the definitive answer (direct from Mitsubishi) is on page 6. :) http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=259&hilit=wading&start=50

There was a discussion about this early doors, I'll see if I can find it for you...

Just done a quick check on my road trip data for PHEV vs. D3 - not quite a comparable period, but both covering July to January. Not including electricity costs of course (though I can add that in later if you like). To cover 8045 miles the PHEV has consumed 331 litres of unleaded at a total...

What he said!

Maby - I must be living in a very different part of the South East as its rarely been above 7°C in Hampshire this month.

I'm one of the ex-Disco crowd, although mine was an 06 D3, so not quite as 'premium' as the later models. But I loved the car and, although it did have its foibles I never experienced the unreliability that LR's reputation suggests. I would sum up my views as 'the PHEV does what it says on the...

What, the range you mean? Could be I guess.
