| ![]() Great detailed review procrj ![]() Nice pictures there of the tank and looks cool in red shade. Worthy decision made by you and it's surely a VFM sub 4 meter SUV. Wish you many more miles with the tank and enjoy your ownership. Looking forward for regular updates buddy ![]() |

What suggest is to instead consider the 5D mats. For first two rows, they are good. For the rear you can make your own noodle mats - they are very very less frequently used areas anyway. Having said all of this, Noodle mats are still value for money. It's just that you would be engaged in doing it's maintenance and replacements of few every 6 months or so. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() @procrj, we did the hardwiring of dashcam ![]() Yes I meant something like kagu mats. I too used a single piece to make noodles mat for my xuv but the middle row width is so much that the size of mat does not git in there. I should have bought a higher width mat roll. To cut to sizes, use the existing stock mats. Lay noodle mat on top of it and cut. Simple. Refer to my thread for this DIY. |

| ![]() Yes procrj, me and Avinash both have completed hardwiring and updated both of our threads. As mentioned in my thread it was a cake walk for the technician. Since yours is a different vehicle he might take some time to figure out the routing, but I am sure it should not take more than 45 mins. Also I would suggest you to get this done from Sireesh Auto Hosur road, the electrician name is Swamy. He is part of accessories division and he works on all cars to fit accessories so it should be easy for him on your car as well. Let me or Avinash know if you need any help. |

| ![]() Drove my tank for almost 650 kms over the weekend, which included a quick dash to Chitradurga Fort today. Keep it steady at 100-110 kmph and the tank eats up miles without a hitch and you don't feel a thing. Very satisfying experience ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The fort is worth a visit and very well maintained. Would suggest that you visit during sunrise or sunset as the view from the fort is brilliant. ![]() ![]() |

![]() This is the famous Chitradurga Fort right inside Chitradurga Town which is on NH4 and around 620 kms for you from Pune. If you want to take some awesome pics with these windmills, you will have to drive beyond Chitradurga as most of these are in abundant numbers and appear closer in the background on the hiils, apt for those lovely photography sessions. There are few that you will encounter even before you approach this town but the best location is before the town while entering from Bangalore side. The other super close location for you will be between Hubli and Shiggaon (NH4) - This should not be more than 420 kms from Pune and the windmills here are on a flat surface unlike hills and again makes an awesome location for photoshoot. | |

| ![]() Thanks for that info Parag. If ever I get a chance to visit that side I will surely make it a point to visit the Chitradurga Fort. I have a Goa trip lined up during April end, how far is this fort town from Goa? |

| ![]() An easy 400/425 kms from Goa will be this Fort town. The last 200 kms would be fast but the first 150 from Goa is what might take time due to ghat roads. However, you can always plan a nice trip this side covering many other places like Hampi etc on a separate drive. |

| ![]() Excellent thread. Had somehow missed it. I am currently doing my ownership thread as well. Good to know your tank is performing as expected. Will keep a watch and rated 5 star for excellent and detailed report. |
