Hey djay. I want to know something from you.
1 ) While braking do you hear the click metal sound inside the cabin ?
2 ) I am getting some squeak sounds from the rear while someone sits in the rear seat . Do you get anything like that ?

No sounds while braking but i am getting some noise from rear door when the rear wheel goes over a pothole. IS your car facing same problem?

Ya , the sound is more noticeable when someone sits at the rear seat. Try that too. What am i going to do about the brake sound ?? i think i can manage that. But the sound from the rear is little disturbing . For now , i manage it by increasing the volume of the mp3 player.

What is this sound? Is it that noticeable? I haven't noticed anything yet. I will be more attentive now and try to spot it.

Surprising, My Getz prime 1.3 is rattle/ noise free after 1 year. As the build qualiy is great, i suspect it may be some loose clips.

My last checked Fuel Efficiency is 17.5 kmpl in highways . Driving at 100 kmph and also with some heavy traffic making me to shift gears often . I am sure it will improve after the four-lane work is completed and if i drive constantly at 90kmph.

undead,

Thats a very good mileage man. I am sure it will improve after 2nd service.

It will improve if i drive her smoothly dude

. The thing is , i cant keep her down at 80kmph to get better FE . Yesterday i pushed her to 4500 rpm in 2nd gear while overtaking , but thats without notice . I never thought she will reach that rpm very soon . After that , i am getting some slight sound from the speedo , asif something has got loosen up.

As you know the car reaches 80KMPH easily in 3rd gear, keeping an eye on tacho should help you not to cross 2.5Krpm.
Dont worry about noise from speedo needle. Indeed it might be telling you to rev harder

I was overtaking 8 vehicles in a single shot and that too in a corner. So , i had to focus fully on the road and at times like these its not possible to look and shift at correct rpm .
