Hybrids

Hi, anyone got any real life experience of running one as a daily drive. Would be interested in mpg and range in normal use. Any feedback welcome and appologies if this has been done before.
Did toy with getting into an i8 but there were too many compramises to be made.

Thanks for the replys

Will do a bit of reading up in the appropriate section

I know you said the i8 was compromised but I run an i8 as a daily and only car. Bought new in March. If you wanted to ask questions about compromises from a real user.

Total miles so far is 5k, average MPG is 43.

Real range is between 300 and 400 miles, about £35 to refill. Half my journeys are '80/20% leccy/fuel. I'm sure I'd get over 50 or even 60 if I didn't use it in sport mode for enthusiastic early morning blasts when the MPG is irrelevant (under 30).

Its mainly lack of space that was the big compromise, also dont think I could open the doors sufficiently to get out in my garage. It would need to have a range of at least 350 mles on a run to be practicle for me too . Grear car to drive tho, bet you are enjoying yours .

The Lexus 300 's sound interesting, will have to take a look
