The dashboard is the new type with telescopic chrome surrounds. Looks real classy

Looks great.
Btw, I have been wondering this. The Aveo looks like its width is smaller, but actually it is wider than Lancer. Probably the front makes it look like that.

Looks lovely but lose the GM branded licence plates. The vivid blue logo spoils the looks and is also (technically) illegal.

Maybe paint them over or splurge and buy the high security number plates?

The instrument binnacle looks real classy, could you post some more interior shots, nice color, if only the ORVM's were also painted the same body color, but then you can always add chrome!

Yes it is illegal. RTO rule says that no other stickers are marks should be on the Number plate. infact, they emphasis even the font and size.

But how many people stick to the rules?

I was once caught in Anna salai, Chennai for having a Sticker (Warlock) in my Yamaha number plate. The very same day when it came in newspaper about govt advt that you should not have stickers

Hi Manik, long time no hear. Well I got around 13.5 on the Highway with AC 95% of the time and real horrible roads. That's measured over 1200 kms.

Have gone in for the first reassurance checkup. All OK except the mechanic spilt most of the airfreshner on the dashboard making the vehicle smell for a week.

Have done around 1600 KM till now. Am planning a long trip os Sat-Sunday and will then check FE again.

Latest figures of FE in city with really really harsh driving ie less than 1 km between complete stops ie home to office to another office and so on. AC was on 25% of the time. FE- 10.5 km/l.

Expect this to go up on moderate driving conditions to around 12.5 kmpl. I thing that's pretty good for a 1.4L engine.
