Updates! Updating after a long time,
The car has done about 31000 kms so far and has completed 7 services, total service cost for all 7 services till now is 15694/-.
Had to change my brake pads at around 25000 kms on the ODO. Had reported brake juddering at slow speeds , for which the dealer suggested brake pad replacement and skimming the disc.
Cost for brake pads 3612/-.
Have done many highway trips and high speed trips on the car, in fact my highway running is about 60% of the total kms.
The max mileage I could extract out of the car was on one of my trips to north in December 2009 where it returned an average of 19.54 without AC . Speeds between 80 - 100, with occasional burst of 120.
Yesterday replaced the stock tyres with my Fusions 195/60/15 (got new ones for the fusion) just to get a feel. Feels good so far.
The car is performing brilliantly and i am quite enjoying the drive.
The car is great on the highways and the vtec is pretty addictive. |
