What do you like most about your car while driving ?

hari_rama · 29th May 2007, 00:01

love the way the baleno takes on other vehicles on highway revving out in 2nd or 3rd gear.
love the engine roar when above 4500rpm in 3rd gear.
love the way how it rides at low speeds in top gear in city traffic.
love the way how quickly the ac chills out the hot cabin out in the sun
and love the way my Black Beauty gathers attention out there at crowd gathering places.

&&& really love the way she handles through the curves without being naughty

Assuring quietness and stability, of course the intoxicating roar of 1.6 Petra engine.

OHC -
Love the way the engine begs to be revved.
Love the way you hit 3 digit figures without realising it.

Nice to see all those responses. Yes we all love something about our cars. I am dying to get my Swift out on country roads for rainy season now..
Need to install mud flaps soon..

Love
-Commanding view of the road ahead. Almost feel like sitting in an SUV.
-EPS, ultra light a boon in city traffic (but a bane in highways)
-Many cubbyholes for keeping stuff

Hate
-Boomy engine noise when revved hard
-Pathetic side view mirrors
-Rough gearshift

I have an indica. Though its crude and a pain to drive, I love being at the Fuel station, and tanking up for 1000rs, knowing that these 1000rs will take me 400kms in the city

gd1418 · 29th May 2007, 11:50

The commanding view of the road and the surroundings from my perch in the Safari or Scorpio is what I like the most. Also I love how I get the right of the way when a small tap on the hooter makes the guy in the font to have a look in the rearview and swerve to the side...he he he

Also the drive comfort is something that is amazing..

IMO mud flaps will run more water through the wheel wells and may not be a good idea at higher speeds.

coming back to the thread topic:

i love to scare away the slow moving cars by revving hard behind them. i miss the baldy slicks which my car had earlier taking turns were fun and scary at times.

. i love the new tyres as well - more confidence!

the best part: never shift to 4th gear unless she begs for it. 2nd n 3rd gear - Zindabad!

I own a Swift and I love the road handling at hight speeds and the Silent Cabin.

With the Jeep, I like driving the same car that I drove in my 1st year at college. Its like an old friend that has stuck by for the longest times. Too many memories. Of course, having your way on the road (bullying the taxis) and not worrying about dents and scratches is something else.

In the Benz, I like the security, luxury and power that it offers. Its a genuine all-rounder. When you are inside, you are totally detached from the outside world. Its darn fast for a diesel and can teach most other cars a lesson or two.

The Vtec....well.....its like a high-powered gokart. Lots of feel, terrific feedback and a delight to throw around. With the recent exhaust and intake, it sounds like a beast. I love the Vtec because its immense fun and yet very practical. An enthusiasts machine that is also light on the pocket and offers bullet proof reliability.

Yup, I do like the Indigo too because it does the job pretty darn well. Undoubtedly the most comfortable of all my cars, the ride quality / air-con / seat-support are unbeatable. I dont drive it too often but its a great car to be chauffeured around in. Unbeatable for value.

I love the turbo effect and the torque when I overtake on highways in my Accent CRDi.... Also I love the sprint from 0 to 100 on MG Road (in the morning when I leave for my office - 8.00 am) when the signal turns green !

rahulvilas · 29th May 2007, 15:28

The exhaust note beyond 3k....handling and acceleration.
Last but not the least appreciative faces on the road for exclusivity...One of the 500 ever made in India.

Swift D 3rd gear Torque/accelaration gives me such a kick that I do not realise that I have gone beyond 80 KMPH in 3rd gear leaving lots of Petrol sedans (read - Hondas and Fords) behind.

extreme_torque · 29th May 2007, 15:51

The point and shoot steering my Palio without a doubt. Safari felt like a ship in comparison.
