ring road test:
100 km/hr is the limit @2500 rpm, after this speed the revs keep on rising.
the car is very stable and I feel in control at that speed (unlike the 2007 belta).
the gear change is smooth (similar to civic prosmatec and much better than the 660cc JDM)
conclusion:
I don't need the manual swift at all... 100 km/hr is the speed limit of the ring road and that's the maximum speed one can drive at in lahore . for motorway driving, we have the honda civic.
although it has done just 100 kms, i have carried out all sorts of tests (high speed, city driving, ring road) and can confidently state that this is the perfect car for CITY driving- it can be used as a second car.
however, you can see my 40-125 km/hr video in the main post and judge for yourself if the rpms at 120 km/hr are acceptable for motorway driving.
here's a picture to show the cut off speed after which the revs keep on rising.
