In case if someone is looking to change seat covers or adding any accessories in Chennai try speaking to
Mr.Jain of leo car accessories. They have lots of stuffs and source it in case if we need something specific. I have already shared information about him but he has just changed his numbers. His new number is +919710509090

Hi Vicky, Special Thanks for your wonderful review.

I've booked the same variant, same colour, in same dealership [;)] (MPL Pallikaranai) and awaiting for the White Demon. Have you tried adding up a Sub-woofer/Amp with the OEM Audio system?? Or any of the forum members have tried this??
i will be adding components on all 4 doors 2 amp and woofer soon.

Rahul,

Small update for my ride ;)
Got these remote key cover from Ebay :) costs INR 285.

Fits to the key very well and the key gets totally disguised inside the cover that noone even finds out the cover.

No squeaks and rattles till 2750 kms though I feel the interior could have been a bit better.
Feels better each day!
Mileage is improving now.
First it was 17.47 kmpl avg for 46 litres,
then it became around 17.71 kmpl for 45l avg,
now it is 18.22 kmpl for same 45l.
Great fuel efficiency you have reported.
Is it highway or city.

If highway, what is that you get in stop go city traffic?

I am waiting for my Silver little Monster due in dec :(

Its a mix of 30% city and 70% highway with full AC. I am trying to extract more and I think it will work out this time probably.
If you are waiting I am sure that its gonna be worth the wait:-)

i have titanium ecoboost. my sales manager told me to be careful on washing the car n avoid spraying water inside bonnet as engine gaurd has not been installed (it is still not available here). dont you think engine gaurd is a must for every ecosport ( i have little knowledge on automobiles ).
NOthing as such. engine guard is fitted at the bottom. Theres no link of spraying water on engine & its guard.
Pls note that always use less pressure of water as present day cars come with much of electronics.
I also own Ecoboost Titanium.

Rahul, I am really suffering with the head lights. Stock head lights were of no use. Changed the bulbs to Philips Extreme 60/55 W which are better.
Really in need of HIDs but with around 4300 K (white light) - do not want to attract cops. Can u suggest is it really worth it. I am doubting the shape of the Headlamps as good focusing cannot be got bcoz of the shape I guess.

projector will give you proper light like high end cars but don't get the cheap one as they are not worth if you are looking for gud focus then you can get hid it will do your work. i have tested mine on highway at nite from indore to shirdi.

no no dont see head light shape it is really gud i have tested myself. between i am using 12k kelvin hid's in my es headlight and fog lamp and these are much better then stock and if you need pure white then you should get 6k kelvin hid it will be pure white. we dont have any problem with cops here in north.
