The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general very good. Under all conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 8th gear. In that case the engine runs approximately 1600 rpm. Maybe the engine is not running smoothly at low revs so it is better to shiftdown to the 7th gear, the engine runs in that case 1900 rpm. In a headwind or for example on a crossover there is no need to downshift immediately.Mountains
On most motorways inclines (1:20) driving is easily possible in the 8th gear with 50 mph and even full throttle with 61 mph but maybe the engine is running better by somewhat more revs in the 7th gear). In the 5th gear the top speed is 95 mph (4349 rpm). Hill starts are possible on steep slopes, theoretical up to 85%, if the wheels have sufficient traction. Because the car does not have enough power at low revs, we recommend a gradient of more than 69% not to drive.
Attention: This car can easily drive much faster with the caravan than is safe. So always keep an eye on your speed!
