A quick run thro’ on the acqusition spree:
Met a SA at MPL Auto Chennai on 11th Dec and booked a E8 with ABS Java Brown color. I was assured delivery around 22nd Dec and to my surprise the vehicle landed on 16th Dec and ran to their warehouse to realize my dream..
19th Dec took delivery of the vehicle and have done 3124 kms as on date. I’ll share more on the dealership experience in a separate note, for now wanted to focus with the Vehicle experience.
In the intial day or two had tough time with gear shift, having driven a Petrol Accent it took quite sometime adjusting to the long not to forget the vibratory gear shifts of Xylo.
This aggrevated with my short highway drive not letting me shift up to the 5th gear and everytime I used to do so, the gear would lean hack to neutral position with a grrr noice 😮
I went back to the *** on 23rd Dec (did not find time in between) and explained him the gear shift issue, and promptly one of their ACE Xylo Mech, joined me for a drive again and to my surprise the *** Mech did not have any issues with the 5th gear shift.
I realised then it is all to do with my gear handling and now have managed to get the hang of it..withstupid so much so, guess will have difficulty with my Accent gear shift.
I’m planning long trip this week-end and will more details along with Photos..till then..keep tuned to this thread..
