Hyundai i20 NLine: 10,000 km update & a day trip to Ranthambore

This was again due to an irresistible urge to drive, going to Ranthambore and coming back the same day, just to pick up a friend, whose family was anyway taking a train to Gurugram the same evening.

10000kms update

The car completed 10000kms on a same day return run to Ranthambore to pick up a friend. This was on 28th November.

Agra Trip - 2nd November

Me and a very good friend of mine decided to visit Agra. He had never visited Agra before, and I just needed an excuse for a drive, especially since I had not yet taken my car on an expressway yet. I left home early in the morning, headed to Central Delhi to pick my friend up. We took the Yamuna Expressway, took a pitstop at one of the food courts on the way, then drove straight to the Taj.

I also managed to get a challan while in Agra, for being parked on the side of the road. The road was full of cars when I parked, then surprisingly all cars disappeared and I got an sms of the challan. 10 minutes after receiving the challan, I got a call from the police personnel who was issuing the challan to come and remove the car as some VIP movement was about to take place. [could have called without issuing the challan you know, ]. I got an average of 20.3kmpl during this trip, thanks to cruising at the speed limit all the way.

2nd free service - 9445kms - Professional Hyundai, Gurugram

After the disappointing experience with Himgiri Hyundai during the car's 1st service, I tried Professional Hyundai this time (on the recommendation of my SA at Himgiri). Professional doesn't have a sales outlet, as far as I can make out, they only run a service center.
The experience was satisfactory, no complaints. I was able to stand and observe the service on the shop floor. The bill came to Rs 3,737.

Ranthambore Trip & hitting 10000kms

This was again due to an irresistible urge to drive, going to Ranthambore and coming back the same day, just to pick up a friend, whose family was anyway taking a train to Gurugram the same evening
I cruised at 115kmph throughout, with the car returning an average of ~16.4kmpl.

On the whole, I am very content with this car, performance & efficiency wise.
