As you can see from my signature, I have an "e' -- the 530e.
I love the way it drives. Recently I had an X3 as a loaner while getting maintenance done and it was amazing to me how much smoother the drive is with the hybrid. The X3 felt rough compared to my 530e.
As I said, no stop/start on the BMW phevs. I am not sure about other manufacturers.
I work mostly from home so I don't do a lot of long distance driving but when I do go to the office, it is a 20 mile drive and every week or so I have to do at leat one such ride whether to the office or a golf course. I have been getting betwwn 700 and 1000 miles on a tank of gas (12.4 gallon tank), usually closer to the 1000 mile mark. I do have a 240V charger at home and will often recharge during the day as well as at night.
If you get tired of the car trying to creep forward when you are stopped, you can always use the auto hold feature.
