Guys, anyone of you who own a petrol elite i20 felt that it is under powered?
Am talking about driving on Highways/Ghats
If you are not particular about Petrol version, you should TD the diesel. The Diesel is far better in terms of performance, drivability & also is much more efficient then petrol.

if you have a considerable run per day then only go for diesel otherwise its just a waste putting the extra premium for a diesel

Wow
Is it branded seat covers or custom stitched and fitted?
Heard Autoform is good brand and having good options - i want full beige color
these are custom made with bucket fitting. autoform is a good brand but it isnt available readily where i live so had to go for these custum made ones. if you have a budget upto 10k for seat covers do look into nappa leather, those look amazing.

WHILE INSPECTING
1. look for any kind of damages which may have occurred while loading unloading
(human error).ITS HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO FIND ANY BUT CHECKING WONT HURT.
2. You might wanna take a friend with you who can be a helping hand in the inspection
of the car
3. Note down the vin number so that u know they are giving you the car that u inspected there is a sticker on the the window where model name and vin is written
4. Finalize the deal and take care of your payments if satisfied with the car.
THE MAGIC DAY ARRIVES
1. Accept the delivery in broad day light
2. Make sure they have properly cleaned the car
3. Get all the documents from the dealership like bill for the car itself of any accessory that u may buy and make sure that name is spelled correctly on the registration form
4. Take with you a pendrive so that u can check out them 8 speaker system and connect your phone with bluetooth to check if its working fine.
5. Even if u know all the features,ask the sales guy to explain everything to you and
check that all the electronics are working like wipers headlights etc.
6. Check the overall mileage of the car,it shouldn't be more than 50km,mine was delivered with just 10km on the clock.
7. After the delivery make a stop the fuel station,get fueled up and check the tyre
pressure, tyres are usually over inflated at the factory. get them down to 33psi.
8. Finally the important thing , you have invested a lot to buy this vehicle
so be absolutely sure to take a camera with you so you can capture all the happy moments..and if we automotive indian are lucky enough we might get to see your photograph taking the delivery so that we can congratulate you and be a part of your happiness.

I got my Diesel Sportz delivered in 1 week of booking. It was booked under some lady named Divya (oopps Sooryy lady) but I insisted and they gave the car to me. So that's how you can get delivery sooner for cars that have long waiting period.

NICE
don't stress over how you got it so soon..i too got the one which was for someone else but they failed to pay the bill on time so i got it. 27km odo seems fine. as far as i know these modern car uses some kind of sensor to record speed and its very tricky to fiddle with it so..don't let these thoughts mess up your delivery tomorrow. Your car is absolutely fine and there is nothing wrong with it.
make sure they give you high security number plate and if they don't, or say that it will take time then its fine but don't sign any paper saying that you have not been provided HSRP and you are driving the car at your own risk,and dealership is not responsible or any damage or theft.
don't forget the camera tomorrow

choosing a colour is a very personal thing but all we can do is suggest and i own one in silver colour-its easy to maintain and looks nice. but if you wanna turn some heads around you should try the red or pristine blue color in my opinion. if red isnt really your color then go for stardust grey.
