Got one on order but it's a bit of a leap of faith.

Theres precious little info on the interweb re driving, handling real world fuel efficiency etc

Anyone here point me in the right direction

Thanks

Hi,

Also took the leap :)

Again, also expecting it in February. There are few reviews around the web. There are two separated reviews stating a hissing noise coming from the electric motor. Fortunately my dealer has driven the car this October and the hissing is gone. It was there on early production units.

So far the only thing to regret is the lost space on the central column due to the batteries. We’ll loose the garbage bin... also a few liters of capacity under the trunk floor divider, the 12v is using that space (so no spare tire for us).

Cheers
