Guys, Please update here the issues faced and your experience during services. That would make things more clear and keep us updated about the issues(if any) and their solutions.

I completed 980kms . I am facing problems regarding the Gearbox. Its not at all smooth , infact it suddenly downshifts itself(if thtz not happenin ,atleast i feel that its happenin), i almost skid today due to this prb , my exams r thr this weekend so ill probably go to the SVC on sunday.i faced the Hicup prb as mentioned by chicane , but it doesnt bother me much as the gearbox prb
