Its on its second tank of juice and on 900 miles - not done the maths but happy with it and in sport mode its actually quite nippy.

First long trip to St Albans return, car was smooth and planted, the radar cruise works down to about 5mph making road works a cinch but in more open driving its acceleration and subsequent braking is a bit aggressive.
I found the throttle a bit uncomfortable, and once seated I had to duck a bit to get a good view out of the rear window - small things.
DAB radio and car play superb, car NVH superb unless gunning it and it sounds weird (Atkinson cycle), it has a lolloping gait between 70 - 90 that its happy in and thats near perfect.
Average MPG for the entire journey was 66 MPG, roadworks really suit the car with it often in EV mode - note roadworks apart it was 70 minimum all the time.
One last thing is if you find yourself on a busy junction needing vavoom to take off your only option is sliding into sport or the split second dead feel when you go is alarming (in sport its pretty agressive).
Very happy with this car, its the wifes and suits her perfectly as did the Zoe except no long journeys in it - we have 7 year old twins and scooters are always in the boot along with boats and kites etc, its big enough.
