In their own words
Very disappointed with this vehicle. It is underpowered. Slight hesitation when pulling away and slow under electric power. When you run out of electricity, it is painfully slow and struggles up hills and is not suitable for modern motorway driving. Petrol engine sounds like a bag of nails. Advantage of PHEV only applicable to summer driving because petrol engine is needed to generate any heating (even then heating is poor because of the Atkinson cycle unit). Have so far needed a new camera unit, a new radar unit and a new charging port. Getting parts from Korea has taken 6-9 months.
Have bought another car and this one is hardly used but I have to see out the 3 year lease period.
