“The Ampera isn’t fun to drive in the traditional sense, but there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had in maximising the car’s range in battery mode.”
Owen Mildenhall, Senior road tester
I discovered Sports mode today and I think the Ampera is just as much fun to drive around my local country lanes as ever my BMW 330d was. In fact more fun really because in the BMW you can't play the 'see how far you can get on a full battery charge when I drive sensibly' game like you can in the Ampera. Also, passengers have hours of fun playing with the features not least of which is a great sound system and recordable hard drive!
