I found the Outlander painfully slow on take off, compared to my Leaf. Better at high speeds though. Only 16A AC charging would be a nuisance too. It does have Chademo, of course, but with the increasing useage of the rapid chargers and only 25 miles real world EV range, I probably wouldn't bother topping up. My initial test revealed a petrol only mpg of 30ish in normal driving, but by hypermiling I almost made 50mpg. The remote control of aircon is rendered practically useless by having to pair with car's own wifi - crazy idea! Couldn't get the Bluetooth to work properly displaying music track titles either.

Drives nicely, can tow and sensibly priced.

Good luck on your test drive Paul.
