Prospective owners apparently look at this thread for real world review content so I thought I would recount my latest trip in my MY22 plus 4 to Italy for a students reunion [all retired now] . Hull Rotterdam ferry no problem with the boat and we were one of the first off so quick to the motorway but our road trip freinds who were only a few cars behind on the deck were 2 hours stop start queuing to get past the EES at passport for which you need to get out of the car to be "biometricised" {DFS Newcastle is better. But it meant we did a long 60mph dawdle to the Ardennes waiting for them to catch us which returned a gratifying 67mpg for 3 hours motorway complete with the usual Belgian vagaries of roadwork queues and even more inexplicable lines of functionless cones than the UK.
After the Malmedy memorial on to a night in France when I realised my overzealous concern about soft top security had lead to my taking our bag with passports iPad etc into our lunch stop and leaving it there! Mercifully honest landlord kept it behind the bar and opened early so we could do the 2 1/2 hour drive to retrieve the said accursed bag then off to Bad Ragaz in Switzerland to regroup with the rest of to road trip{Ferrari and an Alpine so easy to get more car adoration on the stops] This was a 10 hour drive on motorways and passes and both of us arrived comfortable at the hotel which I am not sure would not be the case in our other car.
The passes to Silvaplana and t Moritz were a delight Though sad to join in mourning the fast retreating glaciers still smug with my mph compared with my travelling companions. Then lovely roads down to lake Iseo.to a great winery with some accommodation for a week to join our non road trip reunion team. Took in the Mille Miglia and acquiesced to visit the Ferrari rally at Lake Como ,loved the Italian petrolattzi taking selfies with the Morgan and not the Ferraris
Car handled the temperature without a problem[original radiator] But did keep eye on weather radar and her undercover in the winery for the inevitable evening electric storms which was lucky as the accompanying hail gave a rental Fiat a wonderful copperbeaten patina
Return home via St Gotthard and Sustens passes [beware the two wheeled kidney donors] Then an impressive visit to to Schlumph collection at Mulhouse
Two nights in Kayserburg [Worth the trip] then on to Namur[Stay at the chateau in the citadel it's owned by the council but run as a hospitality training school if only our own town councils were as enterprising]
Went to Waterloo as it was the anniversary of the battle the did our own battle with the motorway around Antwern [Wellington had it easy] the ferry home
Overall no issues despite 34degrees in Italy and -1 on the top of the passes. hours at 130kmph and enough luggage on the back for 2 weeks[ security at the ferry asked me to open the boot, when I stated the obvious they made me open the bonnet in case some very impressive people smuggling was at play
