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...

One other question, does anyone know how much / far you have to push the brake pedal before it goes from useful regen to mechanical? Would help people make the decision whether to paddle or to brake...

As said before, think of it that your car needs as much help as it can get going up hills like that. You wouldn't attempt to climb Mount Everest by tying your hands behind your back - however, think of the plus side - on the way home just slap it into B5 and see how much charge you can get into...

Yeah, I was filling up £80 every fortnight with my old car so if I can stretch that out to filling up every couple of months I'll be a very happy camper. My plan is to leave the car on charge to full at work and then drive it home, top it up for 30 minutes to give me enough EV to get back to...

Most of my previous cars are no more than 2l diesel injection engines so capable of 30-40pmg, however with my heavy foot I can easily get down to the low / mid 20s... I do, however, own an old T2 VW Camper, it's also a 2l FI engine but I'm lucky if I get 18mpg out of it, and that's only if the...

Cheers Maby, That basically sums up / confirms my thoughts. I tried coasting on B2 and it gave me '2 bars into the blue' on the dial and I could coast to a stop in ~100m, doing the same on B5 went down to about 5 bars but I stopped in about 50m so I roughly worked out that the regeneration...
