There was a fair bit of wind noise from the stuff on the roof, but not horrific.

We took a very fully laden phev down to Sardinia from the UK for a windsurfing championship - board plus a quiverack (long roof box) on the roof, plus loads of kit inside too. I wasn't sure what to expect on such a long trip, but the car was an utter joy. Didn't have any opportunities to...

In the autumn we're driving from the UK to Sardinia for a windsurfing event. Is it worth trying to charge at motorway services on the way, or would it require such a plethora of cards that it would be a pain to plan? Is there much free charging on the continent? I'd only be looking to charge...

I use charge mode based on the assumption that parallel hybrid is more efficient for charging, and Save mode can't predict the future road conditions whereas I can. I've become quite obsessive about not wanting the engine running whilst driving around town, as my assumption is that this is the...

A bit of a long shot I'm sure, but has anyone used the charging points at Southampton Airport? I can't find many specifics on line. Is it in the short stay car park? Ta

When I press the car 'on' button charging stops. Is there a way to turn the radio on (4hs) with the car off?

I got my lease company to quote with a towbar, which was fitted by the main dealer.

I think its about 1200kg, but don't quote me!

Very impressed towing a rib behind the phev this morning. Eerily quiet, even when the engine was running, and plenty of power. I had the battery at 75% in save, and cruising at 60mph using the ACC I was getting just over 25mpg. I'm sure I could get better economy without the cruise control...

The wider bars in general have a track in them, and you get an adapter to fit your box to the track. You can get square bars from Thule.

Does anyone know if the eco button has any impact on ACC acceleration?

:D The only time I've ever seen it in use was me during my test drive!

Got it on Wednesday. A beautiful gx4hs in Atlantic grey. I absolutely love it!! I've charged at work twice (for free), and from the data the screen is giving me I'm averaging about 65 mpg so far, but two days in its probably not that reliable a figure. Certainly,charging at home would make...

My cable from nuworld only took a couple of days. Car delivered today. Very happy!

Mine comes tomorrow morning :-)
