What do you like most about your car while driving ? - Team-BHP

For e.g.

When I owned Esteem, I used to love that carpet effect on some bad roads while crusing at very low speeds.... that crushing sound of sand/stones beneath the tyres and that smooth rolling of my car from side to side.

On my Swift now, I enjoy that road grip on high speeds. It really feels like doing 60 at 100+ !!

well,the which i eally like about my palio is its handeling and its response on corner.its amazing and feel wonderful.

Suspension, though now with the ultra-hard tyres and iffy stiffy setup, it's kinda jiggly. The torque is just insane.

the Honda City VTEC badge

, that says it all. envy from the car-illiterates and literates alike.

The things I like about my Lancer are a super smooth engine though underpowered, superb handling at 3 digit speeds, and looks.

Contribution of very good suspension and steering system makes the swift a joy to ride!! I like to push it hard and hard whenever I see good curves with open road and no traffic!! It handles well all the time!
I like to take 'U' turns as it is a child play with this car!! Great car!!

Great thread.

I love the handling, road grip, ride, driver ergonomics, ability of the car for relaxed high speed cruising and the silence of the engine at any speed

Running over trouble makers and pesky vehicles.

I love the ability by which i can move out my Wagon R out of traffic in a snake like motion, by pressing the pedal hard and maneuvering the PS.

gr8guzzler · 28th May 2007, 23:55

On the Ikon...it's the cocoon effect as I call it. Th driver seat is just perfect and the car sort of wraps around you. I haven't driven a car which makes you feel in complete control apart from the Ikon. There is power when you want it and the handling is perfect. I've got addicted to it so much that now I don't enjoy driving any other car. Unfortunately I had to let go of my Ikon and now am looking for a car which can given me the same feel.

i love to pull away with the turbo kicked in
i love to push harder when the road has broken patches, swift suspension with my new tyres demand it (to quote a friend, when in doubt.. flat out)
i love to push that extra bit on flat sweeping corners
i love to tuck in and out for overtaking (not recommended)
i love that extra bit at late braking (watch the rear view mirror though)
i love to laugh at myself when i refill DiEsEl

Santro- awesome in the city... very peppy - pulls away from the other cars at the lights and can slip in and out of the dense traffic better than any other car.
Skoda Octavia - the sheer tank-like solidity that it offers.

nikunj_cal · 29th May 2007, 00:20

I love the turbo kicking in at the right time and make other drivers eat the dust that my car leaves behind !!
I love to turn on my A/c and then switch it off in 2 mins cause it gets so chilllyyy..
Best of all I love to wait for mornings and evenings cause that is when i get to drive my car !!!

Fiero · 29th May 2007, 00:21

Lightening fast response when you press the throttle .
The heavy steering higher speeds .
Cornering ability . Point and Shoot .
Peak torque at 2500 RPM makes it a pleasure to drive in the city .
And ofcourse ... the engine sound / exhaust note when the revvs climb .

Off topic : Don't see too many 'Nxt Sxi'(no rubber strips on the bumper,body coloured grille) trim Ikon 1.6s these days ... especially in silver ... lends some exclusivity

i love the size of my alto i can go in and out of traffic and love the a/c during the summers
