Opinions on Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV

Scout is too low. Kodiaq is meh. Besides, don't want a new car. Sooner have something registered pre-April.

Well, I've gone back on this statement! We tried the Outlander PHEV, and whilst it was very nice we eventually decided against it because we are a bit wary of the pace of improvement to hybrid cars and whether the Outlander technology would quickly be obsolete, plus the dealer was unable to reach a deal with me. So we looked at a new Seat Ateca, which ticked the boxes on paper but was totally unavailable in the spec we wanted for 4 months. So today we went for a test in a new Skoda Kodiaq, and an hour later walked out of the dealers having placed an order. We should collect on Friday!

Did you plump for the 2.0 litre turbo 180bhp? ;)

Err no. The 1.4tsi turbo with DSG box. SE 2wd with a load of extras at a good price as that's how the factory had sent it out. Normally 4 months waiting list but actually in stock.
 
Good stuff, Stephen. :cool:

Would be interested how you get on with it over the coming months, so please would you keep us up to date? (y)

Got it today. All I can say, is WOW! It's only the SE so it's missing some of the bells, but it's comfortable, spacious, quiet and well-made. Wifey seems to like driving it, which is a first! Up to Banff next week, so a good test.
 
Done 1000 miles now (wifey driving), with 800 done in 2 days. No faults, extremely quiet and comfortable, and returning over 43 mpg at motorway speeds, on a tight engine. I've driven it around private car parks and it's easy to control. Glad we made this decision.
