Hello Everyone.
Posting this Travelogue after this incredible experience. This is my first travelogue in My new Kwid..


Here's the route info.
Map.jpg

This is my first long drive. 1500 Kms in my Newly Purchased Kwid.

Plan was for 1 week with my Family. It was hard to get leave from office for 1 week. But some how got leave for 5 day and I extended it for another 2 days!!!!![lol]

I planned it for 1100 Kms, but it reached to 1500 Kms. Had to roam some more during the marriage times

I have to say it was a bumpy ride. It's not easy to ride with family. Cannot drive fast, keep silent and off course some advise while driving(Ha ha ha).

It was for my Cousin sister's marriage. Planned a month before. Marriage was on Feb 9th. We planned to leave Sunday Feb 7th Morning by 2 AM.

I was excited as this was my first long drive. Waiting for the day to come.

Finally it was Feb 7th. Well, we planned by 2 AM, but by the team we left it was 4 AM.
Went to temple and did some pooja.

Congrats Chikkurakesh. Roads in Karnataka are better compared to Kerala, during my earlier trip to Mysore. Now some roads are better. Nothing mentioned about return trip to Bangalore. How long, and which route you took?

That's an awesome travelogue; especially when done in a Kwid. I have a few questions:
1) Is this FE of 24 kpl measured using tankful-tankful method? If yes, then this is a magical number; I never managed to get there even on diesel cars :tongue:
2) What about highway manners of Kwid? Any kind of emergency or sudden maneuvers like braking, high steering inputs etc?
3) What about the engine, especially with full load on inclines in higher gears?

1. Yes, it was measured using tankful-tankful method.

2. It was easy to drive in highways. No problem at all.

3. Engine was good. Car was full loaded (5 people). Even the boot was loaded fully(suticase, duffle bag, 2 shoulder bag, 25 kg of rice, and small bags. When full loaded the pick up is pretty less.

Wen returning it had ((suticase, duffle bag, 2 shoulder bag, 25 coconut, some more items) Pretty much loaded......[clap]
