You bet! best part is - I had to pay only 35k upfront and the remaining Rs 4,84,081 is to be paid in 23 EMIs of Rs. 21,047
This essentially works out to close to 4.5 lac at the prevalent interest rates on car loans today.. Yes, you got it right - effectively, this car has cost me 4.85 lac!!
Last weekend I drove all the way to Coorg in this car. Needless to say, I had the time of my life on the highway. Zooming past vehicles without lowering the gears - a slight push to the gas was sufficient enough to get the car going.
There were 2 occasions when I came across 2 sore egos - an OHC and a Lancer. Boy! I overtook the Lancer and seemed the air rubbed him the wrong way.. Immediately this guy came up from behind and flashed his headlights, I gave way, and he went ahead.
I coolly let him go and then after a minute, was behind him, he gave way, my foot went down, and there I was at 150 kmph.. and car was pleading for more! Of course, no sign of Lancer in the RVM (I checked the ORVMs too)
I am really thrilled with this car. In the past I have done 135 kmph on my Wagon-R on Jaipur-Ajmer highway (those who have been on it know the kind of road it is) and 140 kmph in my Ikon - but those were the points where they maxxed out. Here we are, with a beauty which challenged me for more
Before I am told that I am way OT, I end my blabbering!
PS - These bouts of adrenalin rush occur only once in a while - otherwise I drive safe.
