Okay, so I was back from the trip last week but haven't got much time because of life. I'd share detailed feedback on how the vehicle behaved on my 3600 km journey from Karachi to Karachi later this week but I must say it is a good vehicle. The outdoor sounds on motorways are not as bad as people were saying in fact with even low-sound music it is barely noticeable. Maybe because I drive an Alto and I can literally tell which motorcycle is overtaking me or even if two people are passing me and talking I can hear what they are saying.
The engine response has been phenomenal I went to Upper Neelum, Kutton Jagran etc and not once did I feel the car is struggling. The low gear however does not work as it should. I still had to brake a lot to stop the vehicle from going full speed even when L was engaged and given the body weight dragging you down it can turn into a horror if a not-so-experienced driver is on the steering.
The AC performance is satisfactory but could be better or should I say the insulation. Please note all the places I went to including Islamabad, Kashmir, and Sindh were hot as hell so it could be that. I am not saying the AC was mediocre but as soon as I turned off the AC it became unbearable to sit inside the car. But can also be blamed a bit on the luggage because we had a lot like really a lot.
But this was the first time my wifey sat in the front passenger seat with me on a trip so yes, the vehicle served its purpose well.
