Conclusion:

It had been the busiest year for her, her average runabout had been about 9000 KMs for first 10 years but this year she munched 3 times the miles and was hungry for more. In the process she took me to places where I had never been to and also to some places where I never thought I would go in this car. At the end of it she didn't even break a sweat & stayed trouble free.

My confidence in this car has gone up multifold this year. Let's see what the year 12 brings.
