Rx400h

[kenco]

Had my hybrid for 2 weeks now.

Fuel consumption of 34mpg when making an effort to go easy on the throttle but only 27/28 when driving normally. Always better consumption in town areas rather than on the motorway.

When accelerating hard with the engine and both electric engines operating on four wheel drive I find it difficult to keep the car in a straight line, it seems to twitch and need constant steering adjustment. It really is spoiling my enjoyment of the car.

Are any other hybrid owners finding the same ?

Was this not reported at "torque steer" on one of the car magazine reviews ?
