Few improvements I noticed - - Engine revv is very smooth and bit more silent.
- Audio system improved or may be effect of reduction in overall noise. I can hear more deails, less harsh and moderate bass. Is there something called burn-in effect to this system??.
- Overall body rattle not present and cabin noise is negligible upto 80kmph. After that tyre/road noise takes place.
- Never crossed 2500rpm for 90kmph except those 70+70 km where I kept 3000-3500rpm for 120km constant.
- all other aspects are same as new car (steering, breaks, AC).
- One point about AC, it not only cools but heats also. Outside temparature was 10deg, I set dial on 25deg and it heated cabin. Maintained same, in afternoon when outside temp reached 30, inside was cooled.
- I absolutely dont have any issue with gear and no 3rd gear handle vibration. All gear are buttersmooth. Only difference, sometimes I am noticing is little shudder in first gear and this started after clutch replacement.
"One Indica cab guy was eager to overtake me, I kept my 90km cruising and allowed him to overtake. Suddenly his car's engine gave up with huge black smoke and I steadily and cool, passed him with same speed. On a quick glance at driver, he avoided my eyes and then after kept following me for next 100km"
Man this car is great, Isn't this good? |
Cool report! With the load & speeds, very good mileage. For me as well, engine noise seems better, but tyre noise is irritating even in lower speeds, so can't really make out engine noise. Yup auto climate control helps in cold & hot climate.
Indicab guys are always crazy, they try to overtake Scorpios and Octavias
