You have to push the Roadster quite hard to misbehave. Below 3000 rpm it is a pussy cat.
It makes a great tourer.
I'm sure it does, John, but it does have 3 litres to deliver its power, and ginormously wide tyres compared to a 4/4. Getting all that power out of 1600cc means massive revs and a peaky delivery. Couple that with 165 section tyres and however much fun it is, it's never going to be described as a great tourer.
