Can't fault it

Not my "dream car" but it does what I want it to do, drives well and is economical with regards mpg.

I don't know how the previous respondent is only getting 29 mpg, I am averaging 60.2! I am mainly doing town driving and this car is not my first hybrid vehicle.

You need to select 'Eco' mode at start, make sure the auto box is set in 'B' mode and drive carefully. Also you need to deselect the auto function on the climate control otherwise you'll be using the AC, which will kill the mpg.

Driving is different in a hybrid vehicle, especially when the auto box is in 'B' mode as the car will break for you once you take your foot off the accelerator.

None of this is explained either by the Dealer or Manufacturer. Probably explains why so many customers are disappointed with the mpg. I only learned via videos on YouTube as to how best to drive a hybrid when I got my first one a few years ago.
