Driving on a highway - Palio Special!!

There is an earlier post which has some good driving tips for a highway.The blog is here.

Here are some tips for Palio owners. All of these are what i have personally experienced or heard from really dependable sources.

Preparation -

This is easy. Not at all something you should worry about. But still here are some important pointers.

1. You can fill in about 43 litres of fuel. Its good to know your mileage and route plan well in advance as the fuel indicator in Palio is not the best in it's class. I have had false alarms sometimes.
2. There are "Blind Spots". Know them well. Blind spots are areas of the road, that are not visible from inside your car using just the rear view mirrors. Of my experience, the rear view mirrors in Palio is insufficient for the size of the car.
3. Driving in the night is easy on a Palio when compared to other cars that i have driven. The double barrel lights on Stile seems more than enough, but there is a catch. I had had a tough time while driving uphill in pitch darkness around where I felt my high beam was of no use when i wanted to focus. My mechanic at the service station says he corrected this but have not tried e same since then.
4. Some may not agree but with ac on, i have had difficulty overtaking in Palio. So make sure you dont plan steep revs while overtaking.

These are some of the ones i thought was important. Please comment on this and I will make additions along with links to your blogs in case you need it.

And here comes Palio Stile!

It was after a 21 day wait that i got my hands on Palio Stile once i paid for it. This is my first car and i had been holding on a lot of my work just to drive home this 'gaadi'.

Now after about 25 days from the day i have got this vehicle, i have done around 1300 kms. Been to Kaalahasti/Tirupathi and to Tiptur (near to Hassan district). I reached top speed of 100 on two occasions but kept myself to less than 85 most of the time. Stile has been absolutely superb to handle for me, sometimes making me wonder if i would have been happier with any other vehicle.

Saying this because a lot of people around me were not especially happy with me going for Palio Stile.There has been more than one instance where i 'decided(!)' not to go for Palio Stile. I was somehow lucky that my decision!! was so 'indecisive.'
