As per the heading, im looking for feedback from anyone with a 330e hybrid.
I'm keen on getting one through my company as it's BIK tax rate is only 9% however, I would like some idea of 'real world' mpg as the official figures vary from 34 to well over 100mpg depending on journey type!
Any feed back on this appreciated

Are you fully funded. I look at these, but as I pay for my fuel I'm not sure I wouldn't be better of with a diesel still. I get 55mpg generally, where as I don't see these 330's doing that. Read somewhere the actual electric range is about 10 miles.

I had one for a few days, lovely drive, great acceleration but nowhere near the MPG stated or how far you can get on the Battery, I think I got 10 miles max , mpg wasn't that far from a non hybrid, it's good for BIK though

I pay for fuel but don't do vast mileage. I expect if we did 20k a year I'd be better off with a 320d. Its my business so not only do I pay the personal tax there's 13.5% Nic the business pays which is my money again so BIK figures are a real consideration. So long as I get 40mpg in the 330e it's works for me...

Been reading the same things you've been reading probably Paul (Since you mentioned this earlier this week) - Seems you only get anywhere near the claims is under certain circumstances (Starting with a fully charged battery and a commute where a good percentage af time your on battery power only, IE low speed).
FWIW I saw a 17 plate of your other choice while in Brum the other day in a burnt orange colour...........Don't!

Haha the boss wouldn't go down the orange route even if I wanted to (which I don't). She has already chosen the silver white if I go down that road. The 330e is a much nicer car but it will be down to monthlys. They are both great for BIK at 9% so the countryman needs to be a fair bit cheaper to tempt me. I think I need to borrow a 330e to trial the mpg on a standard MK work trip and then some motorway. If I make the wrong choice I'm stuck with it for 3yrs!stupot67 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 10, 2017 9:06 pm Been reading the same things you've been reading probably Paul (Since you mentioned this earlier this week) - Seems you only get anywhere near the claims is under certain circumstances (Starting with a fully charged battery and a commute where a good percentage af time your on battery power only, IE low speed).
