re: My New Angel - DEW WHITE MANZA SAFIRE AURA ABS; 1000km Update
Well guys time for a short update:
The car completed its 1000kms last weekend. Also we went for our first long trip in the car to Dehradun.
Total distance covered: 481.6km
Fuel Consumed: 31 ltr @ 62.XX RS/ltr
Average for the trip: 15.5kmpl
Total time taken: 11.5 hrs (including two 0.5 hours breaks)
The car performed well during the trip, the acceleration was good, brakes super Although I was expecting more average but considering that Delhi-Haridwar highway can hardly be considered a highway, so I am ok with it. During our return chief minister of UP Mayawati were visiting Modinagar so was kind of stuck in a jam for 1.5hrs.
Some random points about the ANGEL:
* This car has got very good brakes, I was running on 100kmph when I had to slam down the brakes due to an idiot on his bullock cart and boy it stopped well in distance.
* I felt that while turning the A-pillar sort of blocks your vision.
* The A/C of the car is a chillar.
* The audio system althogh with a good HU lacks the punch because of inferior speakers. I have not understood what is the brand of speakers, it has only Malaysia written with a random code. But the bluetooth fuctionality provided in the car is a boon and you will love it.
* The front fog lamps provided in the car are not that effective. Although the main beam/dipper are quite good.
* Over the time I have found the engine to be more refined then what it was in the beginning, moreover I felt that the clutch has softened a bit as well.
* The rear seats of the car is the main USP of this ride, they are so compfy just like a sofa.
* Noise Isolation of the car is fantastic. With the windows up you won't listen the engine's sound until you revv it hard.
*The performance of the engine is good considering the weight of the car. Although I stll feel that DZire is more spirited to drive
* I dearly miss one touch up/down power windows and sound when you lock/unlock the car. Moreover the range of remote is not much only about 40 feets.
* The ODO + HU looks beautiful in night.
Overall I am completely satisfied by this wonderful machine.
MODS: could you please add "1000km Update to the title".
