| Distinguished - BHPian   | re: My Outback Bronze Renault Kwid RXT(O) - Now 5 years / 18,000 km up Kwid was my daily drive since last 15 days. I got to experience heavy rains and roads full of potholes. 1. Single wiper blade performed well. 2. The underbody never got hit on bad roads. 3. Boot space is really good, did an airport run to pick up relatives  .4. Day Night IRVM is badly missed. I found out that the IRVM from Pulse is a direct fit. I had ordered it on Boodmo and no updates on that yet. It's still in back order. |

| Distinguished - BHPian | re: My Outback Bronze Renault Kwid RXT(O) - Now 5 years / 18,000 km up Weekend Getaway from Manipal : Bhadra river rafting & Kyathanamakki Hilltop Car: Kwid Passengers: 4 Route taken: Manipal -> Kudremukh -> Kalasa Total distance: 255 Km Overall FE: 16.5 KMPL Day 1: We left Manipal at 9 30 am and reached our home stay at Kalasa by 12 pm.     The above pics were taken at Kudremukh National Park. Very beautiful! Home Stay: Kaapikaadu Holiday Home  This place is located inside a coffee estate and next to Bhadra river. The owner is very friendly and the food was too good. Approx : 2500 / person. We headed for river rafting after lunch. It was organized by ACE Paddlers, around 15 kms from our home stay. Rafting lasted for 1 hour and it was fun.  Price : 1200 / person We spent rest of the day at our home stay and enjoyed the night. Not to forget that the dinner was amazing. Day 2: We checked out after breakfast. There's no way we could reach the hilltop in a Kwid. The terrain is very bad and even 4x4 vehicles find this as a challenge. Thar was quickly arranged for the mission  And after 30 minutes..we were at top of the world haha!!  The view was fantastic and it was totally worth getting to this place. My friend managed to get an amazing time lapse video in his K20 Pro. We headed back to Manipal after late lunch. On our way back, We went to this beautiful Ganesh temple amidst tea estate.  Back to Manipal by late evening. Filled up the tank and overall FE was 1 kmpl more than MID figure. Yes, the MID reading in Kwid is conservative. I have confirmed the same couple of times. Overall, I am satisfied with how the car performed except for climbing ghats with 4 people, luggage and AC. I had to work between first and 2nd gears. Handling was actually good, I am happy and enjoyed this on our way back (Downhill  )This trip made me realise that Kwid is Fun too  |

| Distinguished - BHPian | re: My Outback Bronze Renault Kwid RXT(O) - Now 5 years / 18,000 km up Day-Night IRVM Installed  It is a direct fit and hardly took 2 minutes, does the job. But, the position is slightly slanted when you adjust it for proper view. |

| Distinguished - BHPian | re: My Outback Bronze Renault Kwid RXT(O) - Now 5 years / 18,000 km up 5 Years / 18k kms done:   This car has run the least in 5 years. It has not seen any long drives since the lockdown last year. Dad used to drive for 2-3 km per month. Ownership Experience: 1. All services done at Renault. 2. Warranty replacements: Fuel pump (tank) , A pedal (twice) 3. Renault had also updated the ECU map twice. The car is running fine without any issues. I plan to go on a long trip after the lockdown, need to change all fluids and filters. |
