What were your needs when you bought this car? Has it fulfilled those needs?
Value for money Phev to avoid range anxiety on longer journeys. Practical and versatile vehicle with some off highway capabilities.. Yes hopes largely met. Powerful, comfortable quiet roomy good to drive but not a sporty vehicle.
What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Relatively good price. Larger than I wanted. Quiet a heavy vehicle but generally handles well. Vehicle appeared well built. Leather seats, spacious, quiet, powerful. Good guarantee 7 years. Has all the bells and whistles
What have you discovered since owning the car?
Main thing the computer insists on warming the engine and battery before allowing me to select electric power so economy not so good for short journeys. I achieve about 4.3L/100km around home and 6.5L/100km on long journeys whereas I had hoped to use battery only around town. Probably better achievable with 10-30km commute.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
Very pleasant car to drive but too heavy for sporty driving. Economical but not as good use of battery power as hoped for. I would like to be able to use brakes less and regenerate more. Not optimal set-op.
No spare tyre only foam repair kit. ( Replace range anxiety with tyre anxiety if about off the beaten track- I'm on the lookout for a second hand wheel to carry on longer journeys with a bit of unsealed roads included,)
Any other comments on the car?
Clunky computer control and display panel slow to fire up
Regular maintenance with local agent expensive ($500+)

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
Yes
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
There may be better options available with developments in technology
Unfair road user charges.
Complexity of two engines and drive trains-so far reliability is good but if something goes wrong????? Good guarantee mitigates this - I hope
