Just driven home and can't agree more with the above. I'm getting smirks at work from colleagues but at the end of the day, it's cracking car and everyone will be "hybrid" at some point even if they're using hydrogen cells as it it just makes plain sense to re-use the energy lost in braking!

I'll post some more thoughts in a day or two but for now in case anyone else is teetering on the edge of going for it (this being the hybrid and not the diesel sub-forum!) I got 49.7 MPG average over the 60 miles so far and it's only going up. That was on cruise control at 70 for the majority of the way with some 60 and very little stop start so it turns out that this is definitely a motorway car as well as for around town.

Very pleased so far.
