As I have mentioned in my earlier review, I am back with my Vashi to Goa experience to share with you. I
have started the journey at 7.00 am from Vashi and reached Mapusa, Goa by 6.00 pm.
Total traveled distance was 1425 km from home to Goa and Back. I have
planned to keep the journey in three different driving ways. From
Mumbai to Goa is the first leg, inside Goa, for sight seeing was the
second leg and return from Goa was the third leg. The result was
fantastic with four adult and one small kid with 60 kgs of luggage. In
the first leg, I have kept the speed at 80-90 kmph @ close to 3000 rpm.
With four/five different stop for refreshment, I have completed the
journey of 575 km in 11 hrs with a milage of 15.2 kmpl. Inside
Goa, the local sight seeing was done as per the speed limit given, as
there was a huge police checking for speeding. So the mileage check for
this 275 km is included in the over all coverage.But while
coming back, I have decided to break the journey at Ratnagiri, to make
the journey comfortable to my aged parents. We have started at 12 pm
from Mapusa to cover 610 kms. I have kept the speed limit at 60-70 kmph
@ below 2200 rpm. With a lunch halt at Sawantwadi, we have reached
Ratnagiri city by 7.30 pm. Next morning we have started at 9.30 am and
with three refreshment break we have reached Vashi at 5.30 pm. During
this drive of 610 km, the mileage was about 18.5 kmpl. The over all mileage
was about 15.5 and total distance covered was 1425 km.To check the
max mileage possible, I have taken this vehicle for a short trip to
Pune, via expressway. Keeping the rpm below 1800 at a speed of 55-60
kmph, I have clicked a mileage of above 21 kmpl in this vehicle with
only two occupants. All these check were done without
operating the Air conditioning. If any one having any dilemma about the
mileage of this car, please be comfortable. This is your vehicle and
you are best person to judge the driving condition and the vehicle.
Next time if you have time to travel and want save more money, please
follow this driving conditions, (mainly rpm and change the gear at
recommended speed only). You will get better mileage. And about the
vehicle, I have already talked about it, this is a gem of a vehicle if
you know your way of use.Next visit I made was from Vashi to Ratnagiri and back. This 700 km drive was made with a night halt at Ratnagiri and back via Ganpatiphule. In side road from ratnagiri to GAnpatiphule is a state highway and road was also bad, so speed limit was in between 30-50 kmph. During this drive I kept the AC on with repeatating on/off mode. The speed limit was between 60-70 kmph @ below 2200 rpm. The mileage was 16.25lmpl, which I feel quite a good avarage. Thats all for now.Wish your journey more comfortable, safe and economical, the fuel price is killing.Sitting height, driving easehead lamp, side mirror

A cosy & compact family car-n-MUV for riding together.
The Versa is a good choice. My Versa DX2 is running well and proving to be a utilitarian cut above a typical small or mid-size car. It is a class vehicle for city use – very good gear ratios. The engine has very good power, even with big load and the AC is very good. However, its mileage is a bit lower and the ‘look’ is unimpressive – in fact, a bit ‘blunt’. Still, Versa has quite a few ‘scores’ over others like being a ‘true family car with higher seating capacity’, comfortable spacing and the ‘secured’ feeling of a tall & wide, sturdy vehicle. I really wonder why this car is so uncommon to see on road!
Versa is an ideal vehicle to accommodate at least 8 persons. The vehicle appears big. However, it is just a few inches longer than a Zen or a ‘B’ segment car. It is big from inside and small from outside. The turning radius is very small. Driving and parking in traffic is not difficult. It is a car, it is a MUV. In all respects, it is great. Great engine, pick-up & AC, good gear ratios, very comfortable spacing, easy to drive and manage.Sub-average suspension, bit bumpy ride, average mileage.
