Are you ready for adventure?
With the new 2021 KIA Picanto, I traveled 1650km in a total of 2 days. I started from Istanbul to Denizli on my Rotam journey. I used my vehicle on my way to Rota on 90km and used it up to Denizli as 77-80km. When I set out as a full warehouse in Istanbul, I followed a continuous average and instant fuel on the vehicle computer in the dial in front of me. After passing the Osmangazi bridge, the average of my vehicle was 3.0 liters. Then, up to 2.9 liters and 2.8 liters, I continued by reducing the fuel consumption of the vehicle and continuously pausing at the breaks with my fixed speed. The fuel of my vehicle was fixed to 3.0 liters at 100km with the road conditions. Since the fuel tank is 35 liters, I traveled 450 km in half a warehouse. Then I arrived in Denizli – Merkezefendi neighborhood at night. I took a little break there. He found 00.00 at midnight as the clock.
My goal was to accommodate Fethiye Hillside Beach Club next day. I connected my smartphone to Kia Piconta Android Car Play with USB. He recognized immediately instantly connected. Afterwards, I was able to rule my phone from Picanto’s touch screen with voice or display commands. In addition, the vehicle warned me with voice commands. Denizli – Merkezefendi neighborhood before I took a break in the route of my vehicle as Fethiye Hillside Beach Club as I identified navigation. And he gave me my route 🙂 Don’t look at my laughing. With that head, I came to my mind with sleepless and tired night. I have never been to Fethiye over Denizli before. I don’t remember if I am gone. At least this way.
My navigation gave me my way to 200km with 3 hours and 14 minutes as a priority route. Of course I follow my route. Only 00.30 when there was a return to the Akalan Mevkii Acıpayam – Çameli road. Suddenly the stars appeared in the sky. The chilling adrenaline remover is dark and lonely night. The vehicle does not pass the road. Settlements are 1km away from a few of the mosque lights. I remember the TRT FM radio withdrawing alone on my own on an adventurous mountain road. (He talks about the benefits of smartphones and technology.) My eyes navigation and average speed on my fuel screen. I can’t go without burning long. My average speed is 60-70km, sometimes I can rise to 80. Sometimes I don’t remember if I saw it very short, maybe 90. But I haven’t even come to the head and the middle of this road.
Çamlıel-Fethiye Mountain Road 1500 meters above is a way for adventure lovers who do not like to travel alone. In abundance of maneuver, the bends one after the other, usually on the road, even on the road, the rocks fall on the road, you need to make a move according to him by seeing his headlights to give way to the vehicle coming from the narrow road. Since it is a corrupt road with a narrow slippery pebble with bends that want to climb continuously, you will have to use your vehicle continuously. Otherwise, you will not like a more persecution, especially in 1.30 of the night, you will not like it alone. You think that your vehicle does not explode the tire of your vehicle because of the excessive recession protrusions you see in the navigation with the darkness and only stars…
Because there is nothing you can do on that road. Even if you encounter a living place on the top of the mountain, make sure it will not be a person. For this reason, I would say to this road once in the daytime. Then if you are going to pass this road at midnight if you look for adventure like me, then you can pass alone. But I certainly do not recommend. I recommend a vehicle that you trust with you and a safe tool to be sure of your car and a vehicle that will face all kinds of difficulties that do not leave you on the road. I used the KIA Picanto tool except for automatic gear with manual gear. I advanced by opening the gas to the end of the challenging roads. If you believe, I did a small WRC rally for 3 hours without stopping that tiredness. I finally got off the mountain road. I passed through the plateaus. I passed through the courtyard through a mosque and entered a forest road through narrow roads. The last time I went to Fethiye, I went to Fethiye. After seeing the Fethiye sign, I couldn’t believe it. I could come here but how? On the Hillside Beach Club roads, I continued with difficult performance movements with Kia Picanto vehicle. On the way back, I now sacrificed fuel consumption. Even again during the day without entering that road from the navigation to the other Denizli road to Istanbul on the way back to Istanbul before the Osmangazi Bridge with a speed of 140-150km I do not exaggerate other vehicles with 70-80km barely progressing with picanto we passed by splitting. After my return journey, I traveled a total of 1650km. With such performance, the total average of the vehicle burned a maximum of 4.0-4.5 liters of gasoline. So I finally understood; No need to muscle with Picanto…
