Hi all,
Considering the C300h, in a move to potentially reduce fuel costs and get with the times in the move to becoming an eco-warrior.
However, road tested one today for an hour in Eco mode, on different roads, some flat, some ups and downs, and drove it very sedately at times, and a quick test in Sport+ to see the difference, - which was a lot !
Only averaged 47.8 mpg through, at 37mph avg, which isnt a lot more than I've averaged in my C250 over the last 3 years, which shows me 41.6 avg.
Trying to drive anywhere in Electric mode was nigh on impossible, as the engine kicks in with the slightest touch on the pedal - same for all ?
It only seemed to Charge when foot left the accelerator, and you actuially braked, is this right ? I would have thought that coasting downhill would actrivate charging without the need to actually brake ?
What are you C300h users gettting from yours, and are you happy with it ?
As it is, I'm thinking that C220D is perhaps the way to go for better mpg.......
