Unlike the popular opinion, really like the front muscular design language of the car.
However the infotainment system feels v off.
Waiting for the red color. It would surely have a noticeable road presence.
Makes me wonder if the amaze is also gonna get the upgrade soon
What Honda need is a boost in city hybrid sales, they tried last time with a lower variant but that didn't sell well too. This time equip it with all the features and price it reasonably well, u know u priced it absurdly during the initial hybrid launch and it backfired.
Coming to ZR-V hybrid even though it's coming as a CBU, better price it lower than the competition and make good sales. Although Taxation wouldn't make u do it, seems like u are testing the premium product range, if u want the premium brand pull, better beat the competition in pricing.
Back when I first sat behind its wheel as a clueless kid eager to drive anything with four wheels, I didn’t know what a 1.2 engine was, what power figures meant, or why people argued about torque and horsepower. I just knew one thing I loved driving this cute little machine. Looking back now, I genuinely feel it was ahead of its time.
This car taught me everything. My first proper clutch release, my first smooth gear shift, my first successful launch without stalling. The panic, the excitement, the late night practice sessions this little thing was my sole teacher.
I went on my first date in this car. I still remember summer power cuts when my dad would take me and the family out for small drives just so we could escape the heat for a while. Somehow those tiny drives felt like adventures back then.
People usually see old cars as metal, maintenance bills, or outdated machines.
But sometimes they quietly become a part of your life story. Today it leaves, but a part of my childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood goes away with it too.
If you see my post history, you will see that I sold off a decently well done and well kept 2018 Baleno RS while I got a new car. Now this Baleno was technically bought by the dealer but later I got to know that Cars24 / Spinny was the actual buyer behind the dealer. Months passed and I got the transfer details from RTO via an SMS alert making me relieved that the car is actually transferred.
Couple of weeks later I found the cars safety triangle and tool kit along with a lot of other stuff so I call the new owner and offer to send it. He thanked me and offered to come pick it up some day. Anyways, some time goes by and I get a call from him today in panic that the car will just not start. Battery dead. I don't exactly remember the date of buying the new battery but it wasn't old or out of warranty. It should be either working or eligible for a full replacement. I ask him to check for the warranty card and bill which was all in a large Maruti leather folder along with the owners manual and full service history including every bill. I had it all - Bills for tyres, alignment, battery, accessories like speakers, damping done to doors and all of it.
This is where the twist comes - This was never given to the new owner. The battery? Changed. He was given some old battery where the manufacturing date had been scratched off. Battery was also smaller than recommended. Of course it died. I'm surprised that it lasted this long. I knew these guys try to make the monies from every single corner but this is pure evil.
I really want to see my old car to see what all has been stripped off.
PSA: Either don't buy from Cars24 / Spinny or if you do check for everything and check again. Do exactly what they do when they come to check.
Saw this Mercedes Benz roadster sitting in the corner of a random garage, on my trip to Dehradun last month.
The mechanic there told me that it once belonged to the famous actor Hritik Roshan, though i have my speculations about that. I don’t remember anything about its year and engine specifications.
It is still turning heads on the road even though it’s done and dusted or maybe just waiting for another life.
This is my 2022 Virtus driven 43kms thus far, and I have been cautiously driving it since beginning without leaving any scratches and always kept my patience in our Indian roads, no matter what.
Yesterday, I was driving through northern part of chennai roads in TN (most chaotic traffic in my driving experience), it was a one way road with a Tasmac (wine shop) in it. An auto came opposite which is a wrong way driving. Despite this situation, I slowly halted my car near opposite to the Tasmac where literally 30 to 40 two wheelers parked just on the road disrupting flow of traffic and I left way for the auto to exit the one way road. While he was crossing my car, we made eye contact and I stared at him asking why he is coming through one way and making difficulties for all, and the result is - he 'rightfully' uttered some beautiful words and purposefully scratched my car and left a visible dent as shown in the pic above. I do not have dash cam installed [its my mistake] and I will review the cost and see if I can opt for insurance if that's efficient.
I did not had a chance to catch the auto driver or know the vehicle details. I just left the place literally with a broken 💔. I am sure he may have made a mockery out of me last night with his friends, and yeah his ego won!
Though, I did not committed any fault, I pay the price here. Is buying car after a long middle class struggle and driving in india so challenging?
The questions that come up to mind is -
Why do we need to live here and face all these daily challenges?
When one will show empathy on others?
Where is compassion?
Where is accountability?
WHERE IS LAW ENFORCERS AND LAW?
Anyways, to all car drivers, please install dashcam.
To all traffic policemen, 🙏 enforce the law that is already there in the books. It will make our life easier on Indian roads. Jai Hind!
Drove this tiguan R line, comes with 2.0L engine which produce around 204hp and 320nm torque with a 7 speed dsg gearbox with 4 motion.
Its was great drive not much jaw dropping feel but much better than a 7 seater car of same price range (i am not mentioning that car name😂).
Driving dynamics, handling, trottle response are much appreciatable. Especially sports gives that kick and cool exhaust note.
But it lacks few essentional features like 360 camera , electric adjustable seat, keyless entry, power tail gate also we can say sunshades too, because its a 50L car so just missed some essentional stuffs.
Also it got cool sports seat with alcantara finish and massage function, nice infortainment system and drive mode selector is also cool. Gear shifter they placed like mercedes thats more convinient ( personal choice)
Overall its a nice sporty car. But is it worth for 50L?
The other day I got a puncture (read unrepairable slashed tyre) on my Nexon while out on the road. No issue, right? That’s literally what the spare tyre is for. Opened the boot and found out the “spare” is a smaller size than the actual wheels on the car.
How on earth is this normalised?
You pay lakhs for a compact SUV, drive around on proper alloys and wide tyres, and then the company gives you a skinny emergency wheel like you’re borrowing it from a 2008 hatchback. It feels so freaking ridiculous putting it on a heavy car designed for highways. It’s as if my car has polio.
And before someone says “it’s only for temporary use”, YES I KNOW. But why would you inconvenience me and force me to purchase a new tyre altogether immediately.
If the car comes with 4 proper tyres, the spare should also be a proper tyre. Especially in countries where road conditions are unpredictable. I don’t care about a teeny tiny bit more space. I need safety and a freaking sense of security. Especially when I pay so much for the car.
Smaller spare tyres genuinely need to stop being a thing.
Built after one “what if?” conversation💀🤙🏽
Spotted in the busy streets of Bangalore
Getting a 2020 Toyota Glanza V CVT (full option) for ₹7.1L, with 48,000 km on the odo, from a family friend. I personally know the car’s history, no accidents, fake readings, flood damage, etc.
I also test drove the new top-end Glanza AMT. It felt more premium and feature-loaded, but the AMT jerkiness was noticeable. On-road price comes to ₹11.92L.
The car will mostly be used on suburban roads with occasional highway drives by my father and brother. They’ve learned driving, but they’re still not very experienced.
Should I go for the used car considering they’re still beginner-ish drivers (due to higher chances of scratches)? Does saving ₹4L+ justify going for the older car despite the lack of newer features and premium feel? And is ₹7L+ too much for a 6 year old car?
Hi folks,
First, I’m wondering if 6.5 to 7.5 kmpl mileage is expected for city driving?
I was expecting around 10 when I bought the car because claimed is 18 and people at the showroom said minimum 12 in real world.
I bought a Hyundai Creta King Edition - 1.5L Turbo Petrol with 7 speed DCT
Second, I get a higher mileage on sport mode than normal mode. Is that also normal for city driving?
I live in Bangalore so it’s pretty much bumper to bumper traffic.
I’ve I uploaded a few photos for reference
Saw this conversation on a Kylaq community. I'm not a Kylaq owner, don't know how it came in my timeline but how are middle class people affording to drive cars with fuel efficiency this low? I mean no offense but if anyone's loaded they are not going buy a Kylaq and the likes.
For context, I drive a petrol i20 in Bangalore and I drive around 20 kms one way, 4 days to office. It's a manual plus I'm driving for a long time, so I'm able to extract 10 - 13/14 depending on the day on an average without being too slow on the road, but even then I feel this is unsustainable considering the fuel costs.
I have another car that wife drives, but that's a diesel 4x4 and anyway her running isn't much and it's mostly empty roads for her, so fuel efficiency is pretty good there.
No offense to VW owners btw, they are good cars. This was just a thought.
Same a title
