I have a 63 plate E330 Hybrid, from a 61 Plate E250.

Is it me or is there not much real world difference in economy? I was expecting something like a 15% improvement on urban, but it's nearer 5%

It does, however drive like a dream. I don't know why, but the gearchanges are a lot smoother and it seems quieter at speed as well.
 
My currently shown mpg is 46 and that is mostly rural driving I rarely venture into the city.
When in France last year I averaged mid 50's fully loaded up but their auto routes are superb.
The car is lovely and smoothe, also very quiet on the move.
I have had one or two issues but not so far as I know related to the hybrid system.
Replacement GPS aerial, replacement control unit for gearbox, injectors replaced under recall, and going in Monday for replacement control unit for steering column as it showed a fault when checked.
TBH if I was paying then I probably would not have the column module replaced as it has been perfect since the one time fail to start issue.
