Hello guys,

I am looking to do PPF in my new Honda Elevate that I purchase a month ago. It's ZX CVT with Black colour. Has anyone in Mumbai done either PPF or Ceramic coating in their elevate and how much did it cost? Can anyone suggest good workshop nearby Chembur?

Hello folks!

I'm planning to purchase a car, a midsize SUV. I am working in Mumbai (PSU) and from Ahmedabad basically.

My requirement are as follows:

1. Safety and comfort
2. Planning to keep the car for at least 10 years.
3. Engine reliability and lower maintenance costs
4. good enough mileage
5. Daily office commute (20 km total up/down)
6. 3 to 4 annual trips from Mumbai to Ahmedabad
7. Not fan of flashy features
8. Will be buying under BH registration (Transferrable job and lower initial cost)

I am confused between Honda Elevate VX CVT, Grand Vitara Zeta AT and Grand Vitara Zeta+ Strong Hybrid/Toyota Hyryder strong hybrid (if budget permits). Also had Seltos HTK AT in consideration earlier, but not having strong feeling towards it. It feels too flashy and not feeling reliable in long term. Will definitely take a testdrive though.

• Leaning more towards Honda elevate, but heard alot about NVH issue. Also, there is a bit of concern of mileage (but not dealbreaker) in Mumbai's bumper to bumper traffic. But the VX CVT variant has all the features I need.
• Grand Vitara Zeta+ feels a great car to have but not sure about the build quality and safety. It will definitely give good mileage even in Mumbai's bumper to bumper traffic. Plus it has ventillated seats offered. Also great service network and generally low service cost.
• Highly exploring Strong hybrid options from Grand Vitara & Hyryder for great fuel efficiency. It may also help a little in the already reduced milages due to E20. The overall cost may be a little high compared to other two options but I heard through some reddit subs that there are some unbelievable offers going on in these segments. Any idea about this or anyone got such offers/discounts on hybrid varinat of these cars?

I have Tata Tiago XZ (2016) with current odometer at 48.5k. I am second owner (purchased it from spinny at 21k odometer in 2022). WIll be exchanging the vehicle with the dealer (based on the amount offered and the exchange bonus).

Also need an opinion on where should I be buying the car from? I heard Ahmedabad has lower RTO charges (because they calculate it on ex show room pirce - taxes and cess). Whereas in Mumbai, it is directly on ex showroom price.

Would also like to consider any other cars in the segment based on your inputs.

Hey Folks! I have applied for Schengen Tourist visa for Italy on 20th April, 2026 at VFS Mumbai along with my wife (under my sponsership). Documents were dispatched to Italian consulate in Mumbai on 21st April. Our travel date is 3rd June 23:00 hrs from Mumbai.

Received call from Italian consulate on 12th May regarding address clarification on one of my bank statements (I had submitted two, one salary account and another savings account). One of my statement had address of Kerala where I was working till last year and got transferred last May. I justified the confusion positively which she also confirmed and verified by certain deposits seen in bank statements. No other documents/clarification was sought afterwards.

As of today, the application status is "under processing at Italian consulate in Mumbai". It is only 10 days left before the travel and hence getting some anxiety.

Anyone facing similar issue? or have similar/nearby travel dates for Italy travel?
