Not bad. Mine has a few of the same problems in similar temps once I have driven about 20+ min and everything has heat soaked. First warmish day(high 70s or low 80s?) it kicked on fans 6 or 8 times and saw ECT hit 212 twice. That was a longer drive, subsequent shorter drives at similar ambient temps saw nothing over 200.

And this morning ambient was in the 60s and on a 35 min drive I saw temps hit a high of 197*. Normal range is 186-190, sweet spot is 188*.
