Wanted to pamper the car, i have wrapped the roof with matte black wrap.

Looks good. Can you please share the costing? Also please advise, other than looks, what other benefits does the wrapping provide?

There arent any benefits other than aesthetic enhancement. I did it purely for the looks.

It costed me 1700 rupees.

Dad's celerio looks plain jane when parked near the Kwid.

Odo: 5921 km
I had to do an unplanned 350 km round trip. I resisted the temptation to take supremely comfortable Ciaz/Safari, and took the Kwid.

Kwid taking all my travel chores. Quite easy to drive and efficent too @ 19 kmpl with full time AC and spirited driving.

Signing off this week with:

Odo: 6028 km

PrasannaDhana · 28th July 2017, 22:47

Update:

Odo: 6434 km

Around 1200 km in 10 days i guess. My Duke 390 is tempting me to take it. I dont think i will continue to use kwid extensively

PrasannaDhana · 1st August 2017, 08:13

Odo update: 6586 km

Putting kwid to a brief rest. Ciaz and 390 to do the duties this August.

How is the build quality of the Kwid in comparison to the Celerio? Rattles, squeaks plus any niggles?

Build quality is visibly better. No rattles or squeaks so far, i must admit i drive hard on bad roads too.

Only points where celerio is better than Kwid is on fuel efficiency and space. But celerio is a boat when compared to kwid. Kwid is so easy and fun to drive.

Update:

Odo: 7070 km

I have been getting 18 kmpl consistently even after spirited driving half of the time.

14-15 kmpl. Worst has been 13 kmpl.

Odo update: 7777 km

PrasannaDhana · 21st August 2017, 21:33

Update:

Odo: 8008 km

Kwid to be put on rest as my Duke 390 has been tempting me to be on the saddle again.

PrasannaDhana · 25th November 2017, 06:44

Finally, a milestone, getting onto 5 digits on the odo!

Odo: 10053 km

PrasannaDhana · 23rd April 2018, 20:31

Update:
Odo: 15,080 km

I have not been using the kwid as the daily driver. Ciaz and RC390 does the duty. Kwid is being used by my sister for college drops and pick ups, barely 900 km a month.

Second oil service done. Oil filter, air filter, oil replaced along with alignment and balancing. Total cost 4120 rupees.

Renault SVC was as prompt and good as Maruti!
