2478 miles door to door. Less than anticipated as 4 of us car shared in the Pyrenees on our daily walks for 7 days, then once on the C Blanca car shared every walk for 4 weeks.
Overall mpg 51.5, trip computer 51.3. Surprisingly accurate.
2019 1.4 ( non hybrid) manual petrol with 140 horse. Sufficient power for day to day running, even uphill on long fast A road ascents up to 1200 metres.
A very expensive trip travelling solo on Brittany Ferries, but the logistics of a cheap flight, car rental, exploring Basque Country, then into the Pyrenees, drive to coast, and 3 days leisurely exploring the hinterland on my return drive to Santander made it nigh on impossible to do so otherwise.
It’s wet my appetite for future driving trips....Picos, Andorra and French Pyrenees next. Central Spain another time, and friends just returned from following Spain/Portugal border north to south.
Vitara was a good choice....very capable, plenty room for 2 or 3 folks and their gear, excellent visibility, large opening pano roof. Comfortable ride on 17” rims and 215/55 profile tyres.
Weakness is its motorways manners...not a comfortable place to sit for 400kms+ at 120/130kph, so my speed was adjusted accordingly and I only had one day in Spain when I had to cover 620kms.
Keeping it.
