There are so many things to check in a modern car that it does not makes sense to put in a post, anyways I was planning to buy a new car a “Suzuki Liana Eminent 1.6 A/T” to be precise, so I prepared a list of things that I want to check before I sign any papers or at least check them during warranty to avoid any costs on things that should have been working in the new car anyways.

For the convenience of others I am making this sheet available for everybody to download. Sheet1 has some Finance / Leasing figures specific to Pakistan and Sheet2 has a list that should cover all features available in this car, the car has so much to offer that the list should suffice for other vehicles of the manufacturers that need this kind of checking. Obviously Lexus, BMW, Ferrari and the likes have a kind of Quality Control which does not leave room for broken equipment to reach a customer anyways. Suzuki maybe a reliable name for two wheelers but we are talking about a car and that too assembled for a country where we are learning to spell “Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y”.

I had a mountain bike for some time, sparsely used and a shifter broke on it, while I figured the frame was too heavy as well. So I went shopping for an upgrade and ended up with this. Installed my accessories from the old bike and good to go.

This one comes with Shimano derailuers and index twist shifters. Brakes are normal MTB ones, but rims and frame is good light weight, fork and frame shock absorbers make the ride comfy in offroading as well.

I put on a computer for speed, odometer, tripmeter, calories burnt, etc. Stop / night lamp with turn signals and siren, a halogen lamp for front and holders for cellphone and GPS navigation system. Unfortunately the frame has no holes for mounting a water bottle stand and I am on the look for a clap like system to fit on the frame, right now I have to use my backpack for that.
