    Great Choice Ryeltep - mines exactly the same inside and out:thumb: I agree the natural wood looks great and is so much nicer than the piano black plastic - the black shows every fingerprint, spec of dust and marks.

    I fitted one of those British Gas energy meters to my 3 pin charge point at work yesterday and recorded my recharge this morning. When I arrived at work the car was showing 26% charge after a 10 mile round trip. The recharge used 5.35 kWh of electricity at a cost of 56p. So 5.6p per mile which I...

    Likewise I seem to regularly get 10 miles range on a charge. I charge up at work and can just about get home and back (4.9 miles each way). I have noticed that I get best range in Comfort mode + E-Mode. If I use Hybrid it seems to give up on electric mode when there is still 25% or more charge left!

    That figure correlates with my experiences so far. The car's calculated figure since it was delivered a month ago is 46.3 mpg over 781 miles. About 50% of the mileage has been managed with the engine off (apparently). The best I did without charging the car (so only hybrid mode with about 16%...

    Did you go to Geneva to order your 4C LE? I read that to get one you had to hand over a wad of cash to AR at the Geneva show before they had even built one! I have not had the pleasure of a drive or a ride in one as yet, nearest I got was to sit in the car on show at the Festival of Speed. It...

    All the data on the web app is by default in metric I think so that would be km - which converts to approximately 490 miles. The web app only has metric units and US units as settings options but I believe US miles are slightly shorter than UK miles.

    Hi Saxon6.. Actually I live at the bottom of that part of Newham Lane but haven't as yet tried driving the C350e up there - I doubt it would get up it in E-Mode! You're right I probably should ride to work but it's too bloody cold and I'm too unfit these days! I used to ride up to Chanctonbury...

    I live just over 'the hill' from you in Steyning. My commute is between Steyning and Small Dole, around 4 miles each way with a few hills to go up and down. So far I have managed to charge at work and just about get home and back, so about 8-9 miles on a full charge all of last week. Having to...

    C350e anyone considering one?

    The 4m one is just over 4m when straightened but the tension is enormous - I wouldn't like to leave it plugged in like that! If using the 3pin charger with extension lead make sure it is a 10A or better extension and unreel the whole thing or it will get hot even at 8A charge rate. If you get...

    C350e anyone considering one?

    10A lead should be OK but just make sure it is fully unreeled - I didn't but should have known better (lazy) and the reeled bit got pretty warm. Once unreeled it was slightly warm but nothing to be concerned about.

    You will love it. Had mine a week now today, I finally got to drive it over the weekend (my wife took charge of it all week and wouldn't give me a look in!) - it is a wonderful place to be and a dream to float along in, like being on a magic carpet! I'm a bit disappointed with the fuel economy...

    After a 7 month wait (ordered at end of July) my car was delivered to the dealer last week and I went to look it over yesterday in the supplying dealers compound. I'm glad I chose Brilliant Blue it looks fantastic. I am becoming a bit concerned having read about the problems some have had with...
