Reliability for long road trip?

[bengal]

I've got a long road trip coming up from Vancouver BC to Portland and back, roughly 800 miles or so. How has everyone's reliability been so far, any commonly seen critical issues? Trying to not break down in the middle of nowhere .

I drove my car 1,600 miles from the dealership across the US with only 1 issue (intermittent failure to start)

My wife and I just got back from a 4000 mile, 14 day road trip which included a 5 day 1000 mile time/speed/distance rally - no issues whatsoever.

Car is meant to be driven so I’d “go for it”. Perhaps easy for me to say, since I’ve had no problems with mine. But if you’re the same, that should give you some confidence. Just figure out the location of nearby Lotus dealers ahead of time and make sure you’ve got a flat repair kit to go along with your supplied compressor, gunk and tow hook.
