It actually doesn’t feel any different at ~95 than it does at ~65, which is interesting. Engine noise level stays the same, as does wind noise.

Having 7 gears is novel, 26.2 mpg for today, hopefully when I get the stop/start working that will be very slightly better.

DCT box? I’m really impressed with the one in our Seat, much smarter than any I’ve used in rentals over the years and stick it in sport and the whole drivetrain is so responsive it makes overtaking almost bike like - open throttle and go.
45mpg on a 60mile mixed run yesterday!

I tried that yesterday, spun both rear wheels on the motorway slip-road.
