You haven't heard anything yet Sirjee. 3k+ RPM is where the fun is at. Keep it below 2.5 - 3K until 1000KMs. There are some run in instructions in the manual. |
Was thinking the same. Would be pointless asking the dealership about those faint noises. Maybe it's just me. After the Baleno, most newer cars are so quiet, then faint sounds get amplified.
And the snarl - ah well, did hear/experience it earlier in other cars and has been one of the attractions ! Quote:

Am hoping so too. That's what all the long term reviews indicate. It's still absolutely smooth. Just the thunk. It could be me. The Baleno shift requires more effort, so maybe I'm pushing it a bit too hard.
Looking forward to your soon to begin ownership experience too ! Quote:

Have fun with your new ride & that's a very nicely documented first post about the options & why you chose what you did. Well done |
Yes it was ! And I recall we concluded that given a choice, we'd take a RS over it ! From a car to car comparo pov.
I was actually keenly following your upgrade thread too. Often wishing you'd take the plunge before me so that I could have some reference points around the decision making process! Quote:

Unfortunately Ninja is out of town. Should be in next weekend.
shuvCivic - just something I came up with when posting the thread. You are the car-name guy. Feel free to suggest alternatives ! Quote:

It is showing 2.1kmpl. This is at the showroom @5kms odo reading. I guess they had the engine on idle for a while, hence the low average. It's crept upto 8.3kmpl now after 80kms.
