The brakes, they lack feel! But, they do the job extremely well. It took me a while to get used to them. Btw, dont be too hard on your brakes until they are properly run-in.

Oh i didnt notice them. I ll check out today.

Yep, i ll have to be careful with those brakes.

And whats the running in RPM ? I tend to shift at 2-2.5K.

Really hard to keep this steed under 2K rpm.

I usually shift at around 3K RPM for the first 500KMs. I am not sure what would be the safe limits though!

Congrats Mi10. The car is a Gem on roads and is a sure handler on corners. I don't know what you would be enjoying the most now.....The RIDE or the MUSIC.....?????

Congrats Mi10. Take it easy on the tacho for the first 2000 kms---you say you've hit 5000 rpm twice already!!

Try not to exceed 2500 rpm till then---I know it is tough to keep the pedal from the metal!

Congrats on the car man, she looks gorgeous in that colour.

1.5L for audio system?

Make sure the setup is hidden from prying eyes!!

lol this is a first. I have heard of ppl buying ICE for the car but the first time someone buying a car for the ICE . And What A Car to buy. Congratulations bro.

[supremeBaleno]

Awesome choice, Mi10. The car looks great.
I followed your car-search thread closely, till it got locked. :-)

@sammyboy - LOL, it surely must be a first.

Congratulations for getting home Jewel of a car and best of luck on your another ICE adventure that you are raring to embark on. Will be following this thread religiously.

Congrats on buying the car. The Color is simply brilliant. You will get more addicted to the music from the engine than the system as the time goes by. Do take care during the run-in period.
Drive safe.

Rightly said, i am in hooked on to driving. I dont even switch on the stock music system. Let see how the ICE project turns out to be.

I am sure i can enjoy atleast one, anyway

YUp, bro. After the initial euphoria, i 've settled to shift at 2K rpm.

Thanks you Jas,

Few Interior Pics;

A look at the ebony Blue+Black color combo: Note the Generous Leg space


Alloy Foot pedals: Ohhh..my heart aches at the thought of flooring these beauties


Robust Door Handles and Stock 5x7" Speaker Locations: Very Nice to Hold. The Power windows switches are leagues and miles better than the one in Swift


ORVM Operation Joystick and Stock tweeter placement: Really a joy to operate the joystick


The Euro Design HeadLamp Switches: Note the Ticket Holder storage bin


Rear Space: Not class leading, but adequate for me


Integrated Stereo with Silver Black Theme: Basic CD/MP3 with Aux in (No USB). Decent Audio Quality


3 Spoke Steering Wheel and Console Dials: Leather Wrapped for that extra grip when taking a tight right hander

Dude, check if you can get the rubber mats or the carpet mats in black colour from Ford.

The current mats will get dirty very easily & they look out of place in a whole black interior.

The red color is too bling in the pics man. Where is your office in OMR?

+1 to your views on the mats not gelling with the interiors. I have the same mats on my car, but they perfectly match the interiors in my Sxi. I do remember that they also had black mats then, but I chose this colour.
