Which vehicle did you use for this drive? And what is your opinion on how the accent might fare in the ghats?

Thanks again.....
Guess am used to driving non-stop and through nights. Have driven that way over last 20 years in TVS Suzuki AX100 bike (1986), Mahindra Commander (1994), Daewoo Matiz (1999) and now Mahindra Scorpio (2005).

Accent is a great car, can take any of Indian roads. Please remember an Accent has even climbed the world's highest road - the Marisimk La in Ladakh. In any case, the ghats on NH17 are very moderate and on excellent roads.
