Thank you so much, guys.
Took the ribbons off earlier in the morning today, before I headed out. Checked the ribbon closely too, and it wasn't the typical thin one available in the markets, but a slightly thicker piece customised with the dealer's name imprinted on it.
I also checked the bonnet closely for any red smears or scratch marks, but couldn't make out any. Just to be safe, I polished the entire bonnet using Colin's Spray and shined it nicely before my trip.

Lazarus's first tankful has yielded
14.44 kmpl so far, nashok.

He is currently running on his second tankful now, which is seeing a lot more of in-city driving than the first tankful.
Will post an update in a few days once he runs through.

Congratulations in advance, Prasanna!

Since, everywhere on the net, I hear that Creta's gear-shift is butter smooth and this has been my experience too, with my (now 10 year old) other Hyundai Product, Getz, I'm a bit confused as to if I missed any trick. |
Must have been a problem with the TD vehicle.
The gear shifts are very smooth and slot in easily, except the 2nd gear and the reverse gear. Check my previous posts in this thread for details on the same.

Nope, the gear "lifter" needs to be pressed upwards
only for slotting the car into reverse. Pull the "lifter" up, slot the gear as if you would slot into the 1st gear, and that's it! Reverse is engaged, a small beep sounds, and the reverse camera display starts showing on the AVN screen.
For all other shifts (from 1st to 6th) you shift normally.
The "lifter" is not needed.

I had a touring duty run to across the state border and back earlier in the morning, and as I stated earlier, I removed the ribbons on the bonnet before heading out. As soon as I touched the paper ribbons on the door handles, my little Princess insisted that those stayed and started to cry when I started to remove one. Since they are not doing any harm to the chrome door handles, I let them be for now.
Also got the dealer badging on top of the "SX" on the rear removed using Colin Spray.
Headed out across the highway to the state border, amidst plenty of greenery around and the sun shining hard. It's another humid day today, with plenty of clouds roaming about (but no rain yet). Found a nice place in the shade, in a section of the road under a clump of huge trees, to take a breather, and I had some time to take some snaps.
Returned home at around 2:45 PM.
Some snaps:
You won't get to see this greenery in any other season.
Look at the size of those trees!

Favorite photo angle #2.
The Odisha side's state border.

The Chhattisgarh side.
Town's C.G. section is called Dhanpunji,
Odisha section is called Chandili.
Note the upshift prompter?
Note that there's no downshift prompter in the Creta.
ODO's current position. Note the fuel left in the tank?
ODO is now at 958 kms, and the fuel tank still shows 1/4th tank of petrol left. I can now confidently say that the Creta petrol is a pretty frugal machine too, and should give a mileage of what the EcoSport EcoBoost gives, ideally (around 11-12 kmpl inside city and around 15-16 kmpl on the highways).
Ciao!
