the dent was on the bumper , patched the same and its fine now  As of now my black beauty has crossed 11000 kms, a fortnight ago i took her for a trip of 1500km+ (coimbatore to Ongole(A.P)) it was a pleasure to rip this DDiS engine. i was challenging almost all the cars in NH5 . couldn't challenge a MHawk though :( Did 150+ in some places. overall the total trip returned me a fuel efficiency of 19kmpl.. with the worst being 17 kmpl and the best being 22kmpl. | ||

 . FE has improved and is returning around 15/16 with 75% AC in Kolkata driving situations. Recently had a fun drive on a small (15kms odd) stretch of a bypass in the city (Rajarhat). The secret is you dont have to rip the engine. Keep her to a modest level of 120 / 130 kmph and maintain it to the extent possible. Your enhanced rubber soles would give you the advantage on late braking and substantial advantage on the turns. Just wait for it and you would win hands down. That's what I experienced recently with a Safari. All said and done, I would always warn you (and everyone) to be within themselves and not try to overrun your doings and create troubles all around. Enjoy your drive and always be within your limits. Drive safe | |

| Hey Soum, Hope you are doing fine. My black beauty has crossed 21k kms and it going gr8 the FE is 17+kmpl in city and 20+kmpl on high ways( with 95%AC) except for few scratches which are visible in 3 ft distance, the car shines great It gives a great feel when every one in the marriage hall pause for a moment to stare at a well waxed Black swift, while white and silver Laura/civics go unnoticed. ( Courtesy Meguairs Gold Class wax)will post the pics shortly |

Great going on the FE as well. Your figures virtually matches with that of mine.  However I am lagging behing by miles on the odo. 3 months in UK and USA and a fractured ankle within a week of my return in Dec'09, is giving my beauty the long awaited rest. She is now on with small trips to office and back only. She is still immaculate and behaves perfectly well.  | |

1. does the steering feels quite heavy with those set of tyres?. 2. do we have to recalibrate the speedometer for this change?. 3. will it affect the suspension performance?. Request all you experts to please clear my doubts on the same. thanks a lot! Arvind | |
