Nice addition. What's with keralities and good photography skills! What camera are you using? Any idea on cosmetic mods?

[:)] thanks for the comments. Am using a Nikon D3300 and just moved into photography. No visual mods planned for now. Guess this bike carrier would be it for now. Will be upgrading the bulbs to HIDs next month.

D3300!! Good. I have 1100D, but never able to take decent pictures. Keep it up!!
Now coming to topic, let me ask you a couple of questions which is bugging me after reading Creta and Kerala!

1. Did you ever manage to hit/scrape underbody? Reason I am asking is, because in Kerala you have a lot of chance to do so!

2. Did you hear a big thud, or muted thud when accidentally run over medium sized pothole? Does it cause any discomfort for passengers?

1. Nope, managed to cross decent sized speed breakers and no issues.

2. No thud sound but gives that sharp feel when going over sharp potholes at moderate speed. Take it slowly and it glides over. But I can it's better than ecosport.

Update: Weekend drive (city/highway/ghat)

Completed a 300 km drive to Munnar over the weekend and to put the feedback in one word - Amazing!

1. The route was good except for a km of bad potholes in the hilly section. The car took the potholes really well.

2. Comfort and Performance - The route was a mix of city, highway (not the usual arrow straight ones), ghat road. The performance through the ghat section was amazing. I remember I used to downshift to 2nd or even 1st gear in the ecosport. But Creta took it with ease and was easily climbing in the 3rd gear. The torque was amazing. Body roll was minimal and my wife didnt complain of motion sickness.

3. Lights - The fog was pretty intense when we reached there and the lights were adequate. The fog lights + Projectors and those lovely cornering lamps helped a lot in the twisty ghat section. HID's in the projectors would have made it perfect. Light upgrade is really not necessary.

4. Mileage - I am guessing anywhere between 17-18kmpl for this trip.

Now for some pictures.

Odo reading after completing the drive. Had topped up the tank.

@naveen - You should teach me a thing or two about photography. I hardly manage to snap a decent snap, even in awesome places. BTW Creta does look good and I suggest Hyundai should take one pic for their advertisement or promotions! "Creta - Can conquer Munnar, where even Ecosport struggled to climb!".

@naveen Nice beastly and foggy looks of your Hyundai Creta. Nice roof rack, makes the car to look more stronger and heavily built. This type of look makes other vehicles to give you way during your hill drives.
