Changing my company car Jan/Feb next year and thinking the Audi would be a good bet for the type of journeys I normally do. Total yearly mileage 12K made up of anything from a few miles to the odd 150 mile journey.

I use my own car at weekends

My Sales Director has just taken delivery of the PHEV Mitsibushi but I fancy something different.

Autocar gives it a thumbs up....

Any thoughts/observations??

Any better alternatives?

Very helpful, thank you taking the time to give such a detailed reply, appreciated.

I can get a very good deal on an Auris Hybrid with lots of extras and I don't need the car till Feb 2015.

Decisions decisions.....

Have a look at the Outlander PHEV thread on here. Opinions vary, I had a 3 day test drive in one and whilst I liked the car, it was very thirsty once the battery range had been used up. Best suited to short journeys with a recharge whenever it's parked.

I ended up ordering the Auris hybrid estate, again I had an extended test drive and found it was a much, much better car than I'd expected, very efficient as well.

Can't comment on the E-Tron as it's not currently an option on our company car scheme.
Had a chat with my local Audi dealer who has guaranteed me a car for March 2015 if I order this week.

I think I'll pass and go for the Auris or Mitsubishi PHEV.

Of these two the Mitsubishi is favourite. One month delivery so no rush. May even be luck and get the facelift model.
