Minor issue is that the super long gearing does overwhelm the little 1.6 sometimes - needing a change down to climb a steep hill for example.

Please don't call this an "issue".
That's exactly the transmission many (most?) of us want!
The alternative is the current manual transmission status quo: a rev-happy top gear that wastes fuel all through the flats so that we are never troubled -- heaven forbid! -- to move the shifter out of top gear once it's been put there!
