hi guys, today about to reveal some strong points about our punto.
before punto we had number of cars, starting wtih,
1. M800
2. opel corsa
3. mitsubishi lancer
4. deawoo ceilo
5. honda city.
my last car was honda city, to give the hint about my usage, i used 6000 kms in 5 years. it was the era when sometime i take about month to crank the engine.
going to highway was bearly minimal. hardly i used her 500 kms on highway overall in 5 years. but she served me well.
coming to punto again its something that loves the highway. as we all know the ride is so flat and compliant that we can spend entire day in the car hovering from one city to another.
Also i want to question one more point. how any one can know what would be the monthly usage of the car, no one knows what is coming next.
List of trips so far :
1. Rajkot-Chotila : 100 kms, during run in, mileage - 22 kmpl (as on MID)
2. Rajkot-morbi : 150 kms, also during run in, mileage - 23.5 (as on MID)
3. Rajkot- bhavnagar : approx 380 kms, dont remembered about mileage, but yes, pathetic roads.
4. Rajkot- junagadh: 200 kms, was in pedal to metal mode, mileage taken the hit, 18.5 only.
5. Rajkot -ahmedabad : 500kms, beautifull road, NH 8, mileage didn't remebered.
6. Rajkot- Udaipur (rajasthan) : 1300 kms, winding ghats lets you forget everything else, this was the dream come true, best roads between ahmedabad to rajasthan border, after that the roads have bit more patches. mileage - approx. 20.2.
7. Rajkot - Ahmedabad (again) : 500+ kms, it was the best trip so far, completed 200 kms in just 2:21 hrs. Avg speed camed 90 kmph, though got the scratch on the rear bumber due to rickshaw, though not his; nor my fault, first time faced immensed rain on highway,mileage - 17+
8. Rajkot- jamnagar : 200 kms, & this was the breathtaking trip so far, not for me, but for the passengers, hovering at 120+ on the best and properly paveled piece of tarmac, mileage- 17.5 with 5 persons on board with boot full of luggage.
9. Rajkot- Mumbai : 1660 kms, this was the dream come true, first time hitting 140 kmph on ahmbd.-vadodra expressway, and there is the grin factor on the face while overtaking the audi and the guys continously staring at us thinking which hatch is that faster than us ? mileage-18.6
10. Rajkot-Ahmedabad(again) : 478 kms, this time i was slow, maintaining the speed between 80 to 100, while going mileage shown 22, while coming back after bumper to bumper trafic mileage stays at 21.2 kmpl.
& To Be Continued.......
The trips done within the span of 6 months, and also planning for punjab trip in near future,
the odo stands at 6760 kms out of which 5468 kms used on highway.
coming back to purchase, my parents also tell me that we have the limited use, just buy some petrol car, but it was only my concern to buy punto, i almost waited about 6 months to buy punto, but Its Worth it !
From 1991 kms i filled total 238 liters of fuel,
even our neighbours call that mine car is either in parking lot or on highway.
Overall, Its About More Smiles Per Miles.
some snaps.
