The tires will be soon blunted. Nay? You'll never get to drive it or what?
Thanks Zak! And yes, apart from the first day while bringing her from Delhi to Moradabad, I haven't driven her much! And don't really wish to either!

Few questions:
1. How's Engine refinement in comparison to xing and what's the best power band?
2. How do you feel about this CRV'ish Gearbox, is it easier to use and feasible in comparison to the previous car?
the interiors are definately top notch! kudos to hyundai.
what all accessories and have you planned for this car?
once again congrats.
Thanks Ashish, have answered you questions below:

1. Refinement in cabin is excellent but somehow engine noise outside the cabin seems to be louder. Best power band is around the 1.5k-4.5k rpm mark. Anything below it's not too torquey & anything above she looses steam.

2. Gear lever falls immediately to hand & after a couple of shifts feels absolutely natural. But, the gearshift action is not as slick as the Santro. It is super easy to use though.

3. Only accessories planned have been Foot mats (already fitted) & seat covers. Sun films maybe if my mother agrees. Apart from that she's going to be absolutely stock.

Thanks for the wishes Mugen!
