Superb and well defined step by step report of your ownership of your Accent. Btw, i noticed you mentioned 2500kms as the distance between Del-Hyd whereas, it is around 1600kms or so.
Me too being an Accent owner ( though a Viva CRDi) i agree with most of points that you highlighted. I have done 42,000 kms in 2.9 years and not a single problem related to engine or body part has cropped up till date ( touchwood). Even i experienced phenomenal change after changing to fatter and better rubber. With a bit of hard driving, i still get about 14kmpl
Getting stuck with the throttle cable on the ghats of srisailam must have been a harrowing experience. Nice to know that you were in Hyderabad for 2 years and but surprised you never logged into the meet section to see the action happening out here?
Cheers and continue to have fun with your blacky
