I guess emergencies come in bunches. First it was the rainwater harvesting project and soon after that the rear left tire on my Swift shredded — I had parked at a friend’s place and while reversing, construction debris in the form of a sharp iron rod tore right through the tire wall . I had to replace the damaged tire with a new one since the repair shop said that while the damage could be repaired, there was no guarantee of it holding at high speed.

Cost Rs 4,000.

Ouch!

Do you see any advantage in using “premium” fuel for your vehicle or is it simply a cost that you should avoid? I’ve owned both a Santro (sold at 45,000+ kms) and a Swift (currently at 32,000+ kms) and have never ever seen a performance/mileage difference when using “premium” fuel. Note: I didn’t run-in my [...]

485 days. 30,000 kilometers. Do you live to drive? Do you have a budget of around six and a half lacs? YES to both? Go and buy a Swift ZXi.

Swift Log: 1,100 Kilometers; 18 Days

March 4, 2009

I’ve been driving around like there’s no tomorrow. If nomads used Swifts, I’d be a nomad. Done with the first free service which is due at the 1,000 kilometer mark or before 1 month. Cost me Rs 936 (oil filter changed; engine oil changed).

I apologize for having skipped the previous edition of Awareness Fridays and for skipping today’s edition of Tip Tuesdays. Blame the Swift. Like I told a colleague yesterday, “I wake up and soon find myself inside the Swift; I get out of the Swift and realize that it’s already time to sleep. This cycle repeats.” [...]

I must apologize for not having posted much the past week. I’ve been having too much fun in my new Swift — yes, I traded-in my faithful Santro Xing at the 44,000 kilometer mark. The Swift’s so much fun that I honestly don’t want to do anything else but drive around — even for ridiculously [...]
