Hi All,
We currently have an Audi A6 Avant 3.0tdi that I love! Unfortunately, obviously it’s a diesel, and living near the London South Circular it is imminently going to suffer the Mayors crazy £12.50 a day ULEZ charge.
Fortunately my wife has expressed a strong desire to go all Greta Thunberg and get a hybrid. I have reluctantly agreed and the only viable option I’ve come up with that offers performance, comfort, style and not looking like an Uber driver is the C350e.
Is there anything to look out for as the only reviews I’ve read have sadly been quite negative towards this car (don’t tell the wife!!). This is mainly due to the electric battery range, but to be honest we don’t do that many miles at all, mostly town driving, and coming from the A6 I think we’ll see a significant improvement in MPG anyway.
How will the car perform vs the A6? I absolutely love the effortless performance I have now and whilst on paper the C350e is quicker, I’ve read that the engine may be more reluctant to perform, is this the case in your opinion?? (I’m afraid that whilst I am 42, I do still enjoy a “spirited” drive when on my own.
Lastly, can it be charged from a standard socket or will we need a charge point installed at home?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike.
