Currently its more novelty than utility. With the kids opting for the 3rd row, and as often as not folding up the seats and sitting on the floor. I need to get a thin gadda made for that area or probably one large enough for the entire floor once the middle row is also folded away. And keep it folded in the 3rd row area.

Thanks bro. I'm not really a car guy, but the Storme does excite me as a touring companion. Sadly both of us being docs, its really difficult for my wife and I to coordinate leaves together.

One thing I don't understand is why the dealer presses for certain color choice? I mean is there some requirements from the company to sell specified number of cars for each color?

Sometimes they may have unsold stock in a crtain color.

The Storme looks striking in black. Love those clear lens headlamps. Congratulations.
Wishing you many many happy miles with your new acquisition !! |
Thanks bro!
On the headlamps, mine are currently on "0". When you move the setting to 1, 2, and 3, the beam actually dips downwards. I was trying to get the throw to further down the road. Any setting for that guys?
Some other questions and points (Beastie is now at 700 kms):
1) What tyre pressures to keep. I have 32 front and 35 rear. Is that the reason for the "boauncing" to an extent?
2) Any solution to the water dripping from the rear wash and wipe nozzle?
3) How long to warm the car when you start and for how long to keep it running before shutting off?
4) Has anyone figured out how to do the audio display "dimming" setting when the headlights are put on? Please do share!
5) When does one use the rear fog lamps? Only in fog, or in normal city and highway traffic as well. Reversing also?
6) Unlike my Baleno, in the Storme I cannot put on the front fogs without putting on the main headlights. So its really impossible to make out how bright they are or what their beam pattern is.
7) Now that I am reading other ownership reports, I realise that the sound to my right is not a rattling but more like a squeaking (like rats at night). Its probably from a seat spring or something.
8) Wildlife problem. I have a puppy (actually an adolescent now) and there our adoptive cat's 3 kittens are also now grown up but refuse to leave. They have been taking shelter under my Baleno up until now, and now they find a new comfortable apartment on top of the sump guard of the Storme.
This drives my doggie wild and he chases them and tries to get at them. Often clambering on to the side of the cars, and leaving his claw scratches behind. The scratches are not through the paint, but they are pretty clear and I am at my wits end what to do.
An help with from fellow wildlife sufferers would be greatly appreciated! I cannot keep my pup chained or cooped up indoors, and the cats are too quick for me to catch and strangle.
