Thanks for your kind comments. My last car was a Mercedes SLK, so I've gone from one extreme to the other, but so far so good. Only done about 15 miles as I had things to do today locally, but the MPG is showing around 40mpg. The auto box is excellent (I will never buy a manual again, and haven't for about 10 years) and because it's
CVT, you just don't experience that jerk when it changes gear. It might well get a bit noiser at higher speeds, but lots of driving will be fairly local, so I'm prepared for that. Up to 40mph it's very quiet. I just hope more Hybrid owners will join the forum so I'm not Billy no mates....
Edit: Yes, I'll get a dash pic tomorrow.
