Hi Guys,
Like many others it seems, I found this forum after having my interest piqued by the Outlander PHEV ads. I have always liked the EV concept but was not impressed by range anxiety issues. The Outlander ticked all my boxes when comparing it to my current Passat Alltrack diesel: towing capacity for the caravan, room for 2 Dalmatians in the boot, EV capacity for school run, dog walk and most regular local jaunts.
The 3 hour test drive impressed me with the car but I have held off on placing an order just yet as the car I have now is only 15 months old, so it is a bit extravagant changing just at the moment. The heart says "go for it" but the head is saying "the fuel & VED savings don't compensate for the cost to change".
I'll keep reviewing the situation too as well as keenly watching EV & hybrid developments from other manufacturers...plus finding my way around here in the meantime.
