So, over on r/CarsIndia there's a discussion about the worst petrol engines, and saw such comment frequently mentioned about i20 and 1.2Kappa but someone even went on to mention
I have the 1.2 Kappa in my manual i10. Even at a slight incline on the highway, it feels like it’s gone into limp mode.

What surprised me is that I'd always heard the 1.2 Kappa performs better in the i10 because it's a lighter car.

I havent taken my i20 NA MT to hills yet , So I'd like to hear from actual i20 NA owners who've driven the car extensively across cities, highways, and hills.

Does the engine genuinely struggle with inclines, especially with the AC on and a full load, or is this overreaction ?
So i can think twice before takin i20 trips if possibility of hills and ghats (review needed purely on performance side)

I was looking for a city car and had shortlisted the Altroz, Punch, Baleno, and i20.

Initially, I was quite fond of both the Punch and Altroz. However, after coming across owner complaints and repeated advice against choosing a Tata as a first car, I decided to look elsewhere.

That left me with the Baleno and i20. While I appreciated the Baleno's better mileage and stronger performance figures on paper, it simply did not appeal to me as much as the i20.

I had originally planned to buy the base variant of the i20, but eventually upgraded to the Sportz MT.

It has now been almost two months since delivery, and I have completed around 600 km.

One aspect that pleasantly surprised me was the fuel efficiency. I had heard several complaints regarding mileage, but I consistently achieve 13–14 km/l in city traffic, which I find quite reasonable.

Best part I love about the car is smooth gearbox and clutch combination. Many people suggested me about choosing a AT for city driving, and as a new driver, I was initially uncertain. Nevertheless, I did not want to limit my driving skills by opting for an automatic straight away.

But, the i20's slick gear shifts and light clutch have made driving genuinely enjoyable. In fact, they are among the reasons I have fallen in love with driving

Elephant in the room is the Safety Part -

I indeed feel this is less safe and Tata Cars feel solid sitting inside and so I aim to limit this as much to city use only

Happy driving :)

Since yesterday, I see evry damn reputed auto ytber or Twitter personality is appreciating the Duster 1.0 Turbo

Did anyone observed this ?

Looks like Duster has paid crazy amount of money for advertising as even Yt still filled with Duster Ads despite multiple months of it's launch now

Volklub recommend a VW to someone and in within 2 yrs when Reality hit, already thinking of replacing with Japanese Korean for reliability lol
