Thanks for your kind words, appreciated.
Well, sadly I never got a chance to hit it full. This, because I was careful not to rev it too much before 5K kms and 1.st oil change. Later I kept it barely for another 1500kms, before it probably landed on the other side of stinking Afghan border.
I remember however, that few days before the theft, a cousin of mine hit near to 160 on GT road, just for a couple of seconds, before some sort of obstruction forced him to hold it's 122 horses.
As far as engine sound is concerned, I consider it considerably damp, as if compared to the previous SE SAloon, 1600 CC, which had a terrible sound from 110 kms/hour onwards even.
I must say, Altis for the time being is simply the best local option, can't say of your specific requirements, how abt Nissan 350 type, lolz!
Regards.
