2,500 mile round trip to Tuscany and the Cupra didn't miss a beat, not that I expected it to. Great car and averaged a surprisingly frugal 36mpg for the whole trip. Nice to have the opportunity to drive it on relatively empty, flowing roads around the Tuscan countryside. One thing it is not though is an autobahn cruiser; anything above 120mph and the engine just feels a bit too high strung and whilst the car is very composed at high speed, wind/road noise makes it uncomfortable to hold those speeds for any length of time. Highlight of the autobahn experience was being overtaken by a Maserati MC12 going roughly 17 times the speed of sound.
