Thanks for your kind words nice to know you enjoyed reading all my threads. Also, happy to know your friend is enjoying the Aspire Quote:

Until I bought the bulb didn't know about Flosser brand
Currently, BB is running on one headlamp on Flosser and other on Phillips. Guess what the light throw and spread is amazing and I'm really satisfied with lights and confidence inspiring for night driving
But, I got your point and whenever one of the bulbs conk off again will get both replaced with "Flosser" Quote:

With regards to beige interiors. Mine is still pristine even after 6+ months and there is nothing a good interior clean once every 6 months cannot address Quote:

As of now I have to satisfy myself with the torque in the name, since the engine has little to offer by way of torque (mine is the petrol) In fact one of the reasons I am looking at the Aspire is because of that nice creamy wallop of torque from low down in the rev range. |
I'm also a big fan of blue other than white and black. Most of my official dresses are blue (Shirts, Trousers, Blazers etc..LOL)
I think your Swift blue is a better blue than Aspire blue. But, my most favorite blue shade is the one that came in old and new Fiesta S
You will not be disappointed with Aspire at all. It gives me thrills each and every single day and I extract every bit of that low end torque and power at every given instance. FE is of least importance to me so you can say I'm using this car as it should be...Haha! Quote:

Manuals & rev happy engines, you got to love them. Long live the MT's. |
Nice Sheel! A small tyre upgrade to stock will increase the pleasure to a large extent. Trust me. It handles beautifully and can take sweeping corners with much more confidence than any other car < 10 lakhs
And, yeah I hate automatics so manual adds to that pleasure of driving Quote:
