Also - I am considering both 330i and 330e and have been really indecisive about it.

330i - the only thing that I wish it has is the adaptive suspension. The passive is too stiff for my liking on 90% of the usage. If it comes with adaptive, then the choice is easy.

330e - I consider this because it has the adaptive suspension (maybe a stupid reason for a lot of people?). Not really concerned on the FC or RV but more on the reliability (more problems?) and I have a noob question - going on a long trip like 700 - 800km, start with full charge, but will it end up dragging the extra weight with absolutely no hybrid advantage if do not re-charge during the 700 - 800km drive? Or it will still have the benefit as it recharges itself? I am talking about a "normal" drive, highway maybe keeping it at 110km - 130km... occasional speed up but that might be just 10% of it....

Yes, you might burn more petrol with the extra weight. But let's be realistic la, why are you worried about FC with the current RON95 price? If you are worried about FC then you should get proper FC efficient car. Say 2l per 100km different in FC, it's RM4+ for 100km. if you travel 2000km per month, it's RM80+ different. Given that you can afford 330i or 330e, RM80+ is barely a slightly good meal with your partner, and how many good meals you have each mth without thinking much?

RV definitely not amazing la, i'll rather buy a slightly used authorized 2nd hand, maybe demo or manager car.

Maybe a Mercedes will be better for you if you are into comfortable drive

I would suggest Volvo S60 / V60 if looking for comfort drive

As mentioned, I am not concerned on the FC/RV. The question on the highway cruising without charge is for me to understand how it works under that condition/circumstance (that's why I said "benefit" rather than consumption, for example, do I still get that "instant torque" etc) smile.gif

They hybrid is pretty much useless on highway (talking about long distance highway not the KL city highway), i would switch to pure ICE mode when i go over 80km/h, unless its a short journey or journey within my hybrid / pure battery range. In fact I do charge the car with the engine when im on highway (JB - KL), to prepare the car for jam around seremban area. In jam i either go hybrid or pure EV, depending on the speed of traffic. Summary, for me, hybrid / EV useful in city, slow or jam traffic, instant torque also not super nice / fun in this scenario, just wanna find some comfort in jam. High speed just a waste of battery. Instant torque is fun only when you wanted to have some fun and the road / traffic condition allows.
