For anyone who is intetested I've added a video of a Volvo B5LH to my YouTube channel however it was running a little bit late so the driver was pushing it a little so the engine remained on throughout most of the journey. MX13 ABN (4525) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IOnPUCwayw |

Caught couple of the Hybrids for the first time a couple of days ago thought are, not bad however the engine will take getting used to,felt like the engine was switched off at times, not sure about the leather seats though, on paper look a good idea but how long before the pond life start wrecking them?

[quote='MTL0201' pid='33286' dateline='1364473790'] felt like the engine was switched off at times If the battery levels are ok, they switch off when stopped then pull away in electric mode and the engine kicks in again between 7-13mph. Only real problem with them is the gear changes and switched from electric to engine mode are quite slow - other than that very nice indeed! I do think the free wifi could do with better advertising though, like Spekes Mercedes Citaros - perhaps on the side of the stairs as you get on it should say free wifi.. it only seems to mention the wifi on the engine cover exterior advert!
