I'm from a totally manual gearbox past car history and I agree, it is totally counter intuitive. However, as others have said my mate who has only driven autos says its totally normal...

I've been watching / investigating the leaves and have decided that they are 100% pointless. As said before, if you drive 20 yards with no throttle and stop using the paddles you will get 5 leaves, however do anything remotely 'normal', ie brake, accelerate, turn corners etc you lose leaves...

Yeah, I had this yesterday, you have to push on the 'new route' button and then when it shows you a map with orange and yellow arrows on for old and new routes on the right it also shows 2 buttons saying old route and new route, to choose which one you want to use you need to push the...

Mine was inside the manual leather case, if you look on the inside of the front flap there should be 3 credit card size plastic parts. The SSID etc for my car was on a slip of paper hidden in there. It wasn't easy to spot, it looked just like a scrap of paper with the Mitsubishi logo on but I...

Just to add to the points above, for the first time I went further than my range suggested. Forgot to change last night so had 11 'electrical miles', the trip to work is 16 real miles and usually use 21 'electric miles' getting there... Today, I got to about 100m away from my work as the...

I had a Grand C-Max before this PHEV so I'm used to family storage holes a plenty and the PHEV seems positively stingy with cubby holes for tissues, sunglasses and the like...It does however mean that I won't be storing so much junk in them - when I cleaned out my c-max I found 12 pens in the...

Agree My drive to and from work is 16 miles each way. From a full charge my readings suggest I can do 34 'electric miles', so maths would suggest I could get to and from work on one charge... In reality, on my way to work I use up 21 'electric miles' and 19 on my way home. That's in eco mode...

Great analogy, I've often though B5 seems like a dodgem car. I too can't really get the idea of using the paddles to eek out that extra 5m of electric. Personally I've come to the conclusion that the paddles are good for big downhills or a bit of fun during the mundane drive but nothing to...

So are we to assume that 10m of B5 regen is better than 40m of B1 or 5m of just foot braking? I'm still struggling to see the benefits of the paddles other than to encourage you get a bit of regen in and not feather the accelerator when coasting...

Really? The 'auto' figures are for the past 4 hours but my 'manual' ones are - so far - for the whole time I've had the car... I'm off to check...

Hi, Been playing with the ev / range / mpg setting and seeing what works for me and after a fair few miles over the past week I'm coming to the conclusion that most numbers shown on the dash are relatively pointless as they are so dependent on driving style, road conditions, weather, how often...

Right, took the opportunity to have a check around the car while waiting for fish and chips and I found it. It's a small key size, (believe it or not), hole next to the cig lighter.

<goes off to search the car for a key slot>

This doesn't help you I'm afraid but...there's a key slot?!?!?

^^^ 100% I've only had it 2 days but this has annoyed me too. I drove to work this morning at 9am and while it was a bit gloomy it certainly wasn't dark. The car decided that it was still night time so the lights were on, dash brightness lowered and the map was the night version. My main...
