Thank you brother for your good wishes. I wish you the same. Indeed you've got a cool ride there at a cool hill station. Regarding EuroStar tires I fully agree with you and I do plan to change them with Yokohama DB after its first free service.
I havent driven this car much cause as daily runner I am more than happy with my City '11 but pretty soon I will be testing it on Motorway and then I will share my feedback about its pick and fuel average.
You are so very right. It did happen with me today
I mistakenly deployed 6th gear instead of reverse but I instantly realized and saved myself from embarrasment.
I fully endorse your idea of not giving it to some random person who doesnt know about its reverse mechanism- be it your driver or some relative, you MUST tell them specifically how to engage its reverse gear otherwise things might turn ugly.
