Replacing my not-so-old Kia Seltos DCT

3000km update (10k on the ODO)
Drove the car for 3000km.
Except for the occasional rear seat rattle that was fixed by " jugaad "after follow up visit from the service station, this guy is butter smooth. The faint turbo whine is music to the ears, much like the faint background noise of the Enterprise in those Star Trek episodes.

This is my Star Ship "Enterprise"
Hope DSG wont give me troubles in the near future
Planning to upgrade the tyres to Michelin Primacy 215 / 55 / R16, which would be the largest size that would fit on stock alloys. (Would want to retain the plush ride). Braking above triple digit speeds is not confidence inspiring on those GE Eagles.

Congrats on finding a low-mileage car. How much did you pay for the Octy and how much did you get for the Seltos?
