So the 24 model is better with recognising speed signs but they’ve taken away the manual limiter. So if it gets the sign wrong, you’re on your own. You only have an automatic limiter and you can’t set it a few mph above the limit. And the sensitivity is wild. If a butterfly flaps its wings in your car, the extra pressure on the accelerator will override the limiter. And none of the pilot functions work below 20mph. Given the whole point of a limiter and pilot assist is to stop me inadvertently getting speeding tickets, especially crawling through 20mph zones in London, all this drIves me nuts. (Pilot assist does work at 20 but you can’t kick it off til you are at 20 and not below, while the automatic limiter works the whole time unless aforementioned butterfly gets frisky).

You really can't go wrong with an Outlander PHEV. Drove one myself, can corroborate. 50 MPG plus 60 miles of electric only range, smooth ride, quiet too. What isn't to like about it?

Yes annoying software - you're so right. Total loss of 4G signal, and then the connection network - even when 4G magically reappears! Loss of Google maps at random times, and again whilst actually en route (lucky I can read a map!). Not phone connection, no contacts... oh I could go on and on... AND - braking for no reason (including on the motorway, with kids onboard). Windows opening when the car is out of sight? Air con on full, everytime the car is started... Polestar's response? I've been waiting over 2 weeks for them to reply. Stop building new models, fix the ones we've spent money buying into.

I'm considering buying this as my first car. Would you recommend for someone without plug-in capability at home, i.e. charging only on engine/brakes? I figure it would still save me a lot in fuel costs. What attracts me to this car is its size, quietness, and affordability. Thanks

I bet you didn't pay anything near the cost of Polestar or BMW. Disclosure I own a 2014 Outlander GT V6. Great machine. Powerful, but it burns premium fuel and plenty of it. Gets the MPG of a small truck. But is also weigh a lots and as a rated carrying weight of 1158 lbs which is more than some small trucks. Rated to tow 3,500 lbs but I don't tow. S-AWC is outstanding in snow up to 8 inches but can muscle its way through 10 inches. I've had it for 10 years.

I currently have a lease Kia EV6, but my lease ends this year. I dont want to lease again so im considering buying a 3 year old PS2, because they seem by far the best value for a car with a decent towing capacity (which i need, for my boat).

I have a 30kwhr LEAF. It's totally perfect for certain roles. Long-distance ain't one of them. It's basically the best value "daily-drive" and shopping EV out there IF YOU CHARGE AT HOME. 1 - Chademo charging is a liability out there. Maybe 1 in 20 stations is Chademo. 2 - 100 miles is my realistic, worry-free, limit. Let's face it, that's enough for most people's daily drive. 3 - It cost me €14,000 in France, 4 years old (14,000 USD) and it hasn't actually depreciated in the 2 years I've had it. You can pick up the 24kwhr version for peanuts now. I'd say it was bargain of the decade at around 5,000 USD if you want a shopping cart of a car, that you charge at home and will cost almost zero in fuel ever. Servicing? forget it. Brakes last forever it seems. It's horses for courses though. If I needed to cover >200 miles a day regularly then I'd get a Model 3 Standard with LFP battery.

Hi loved the review as I'm thinking of buying this same car so it has been good. If I can make some comments on a quiet professional video. A little more views of the car, what seating is like in the back, boot space, controls etc, also when showing the history of fuel usage don't do it while driving you are looking at the viewer while also keeping a view out for the road, stop and do the section as part of the review it looks better. I also think the display is dated as the car originally it the road in the early around 10-15 years ago in petrol or diesel and that could be mentioned. Thanks
