Took Desmond for a round trip of 80 miles on the motorway this afternoon.
Feels really good, and certainly got heads turning
Very quiet in the cabin, comfy, and could really feel the difference between the three d - mode settings
What i did notice though was he felt like he needed a sixth gear to go into.
70 mph was 3500 rpm
I know he is a sizeable lad for a 1600 cc but this did take me by surprise a little.
A couple of times i felt like i was in third and went for fifth, only if to reassure myself i was in the correct gear.
I know there is now a whopping 100 miles on the clock, and a lot of loosening up to do, but i cant help but feel the revs are a little high, and not going to drop that much.
