Hi fellow BHPians,

This is Tahzeeb from Bangalore. My hobbies are travelling, travelling and more travelling and that too in my own car...I just love to drive...Have done almost all the major highways and tourist destinations in South India.
Planning to go on a landmark trip on the 9th of August which will cover places up north like Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani, Lonavala, Khandala, Goa etc.

Hey..nice to know that u like swift diesel too...it is an absolute pleasure on the highway...i've changed from stock tyres to michelin MXV8 195/60 R15...the grip and handling of the car is fabulous now...i could easily do 160 on expressways and it also takes curves at 100+ without a sweat...mileage is pretty neat too...15 kmpl in the city and 18+ on the highway...driver comfort is top-class...however, friends complained of tiredness due to three sitting at the back...more owing to the fact that I have extra long legs and my seat is pushed quite far back compared to a normal driving position and also the fatigue of having done 600+ kms on a stretch...overall a fantastic car and I dare say the best hatchback that money can buy in India atleast...
