Friends I have taken the delivery 2 days ago but I am very happy that I took that decision.

I have been following this forum for quite some time now. I took delivery of Emotion Pk 1.3 MjD 2 days ago. This forum helped me in making that decision and I am very grateful to all the contributors.
I have not driven the vehicle so much (only 105 Km) so that I can give you a meaningful review of the car about its performance and all. I promise as the time passes by I will update all of you through this forum.
Now talking about 105 Km I have driven so far-
* The looks of the car is absolutely great (admiration guaranteed as promised in the ad)
* If you are driving in a city like Lucknow, you have to be changing gear all the time.  This is because the turbocharger cuts in at 2000 rpm and the vehicle does not pickup. I have never driven a diesel vehicle before may be that is the problem.
* The feature of Full Auto on AC system is fabulous which controls the blower and the compressor as per the differential in the set point and the present temperature.
* The tool set what Fiat is giving is pathetic. Should have some more tools in the car. This may be because the engineer in me thinks that some small things can be fixed by the car owner.
* The braking with ABS is new experience for me and it is fabulous. It is raining heavily in Lucknow now a days and with the kind of traffic in the city it is very handy.
* I do not know that having the suspension so hard is good or bad. But I do not feel too much of jerk when the car is going over potholes which are in abundance in the city.
* The instant mileage meter sometimes shows a mileage of 21 Km/L but I highly doubt it. The trip meter at present indicates 20 Km/L. I had the tank full on the delivery day and looking forward to do some calculations of my own when I go back to the filling station.

I look forward to the experienced people to make some comments so that I can run this car efficiently and cost effectively. It is a privilege to have this kind of experience on the forum.
Will write updates regularly as time passes by.
Cheers

Friends I noticed something which needs clarification from the stalwarts. While driving I had the instant mileage on the display, I was driving in 4th gear, I released the accelerator pedal for a moment and then again came back to same level. The instant mileage meter started showing from 12 Km/L to 18 Km/L.
My overall average mileage has improved from 4.7 to 9.5 Km/L.

After 9000 km an update is warranted. I am in love with this car. I was on a road trip of 2500 km last week. The car gave me pleasure beyond my expectations. Only thing which I can complain about at this point of time is the ground clearance. The roads in India and speed breakers on them are serious threat. Had few scares but overall I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. The mileage overall for this trip was 17km/l which I can't complain about. The AC was always on during this trip and it was set to maintain 16 deg C.

More updates will follow as I go along with my roadmate.

Brgds
