Vauxhaul Ampera.... anyone got one?

[TTmonkey]

Would be interested in feedback from any owners of this car...

What's it like, how's the performance, how's the economy, range, build, etc?

Thanks

I'd like to thank the MoD that's buried this in an area where not many people venture.

Its a car. First and Foremost a car. Its a general enquiry, it should remain in the General gassing area so that it can be seen.

I had an Ampera for a month, and was very happy with it. Spec wise, it is very well equipped. It drove nicely, and with a decent turn of speed. The EV tech was very impressive, and I could manage 40 miles on pure EV. Fit and finish were pretty Vauxhall-like i.e. poor. It has a big advantage over the i3 of a decent size fuel tank, and bigger engine. So you could, if you so chose, drive it like a normal petrol engined car over long distances. It could also run directly off the petrol engine, which has the added benefit of being able to heat the cabin using excess heat from the engine, something not possible on the i3. So on a winter's drive you could start using the engine, drive a few miles to get everything up to temperature, then turn on EV mode. Ground clearance is miniscule, so you are constantly grounding out.

Good stuff, many thanks for taking the time.
