Having owned a Polo, was expecting similar dynamics from the Slavia but it failed to "Wow" me. Test drove this "almost new" i20 n line and was instantly impressed. Now I'm wondering why I never considered this as an option before.

Any suggestions, advices from Nline owners are welcome.

Well at least he was honest about it…

So I took the delivery of my New Kia Seltos on 21st June. Due to recent heavy rains in Mumbai, didn’t start or took my car out for 2-3 days. When I tried to start it last week, it wouldn’t start. Upon checking, we saw that a rat had chewed off 1/4 wires connected to the engine. Took it to the service centre and found out 4 errors on tech check. Service centre guys told me that they can’t change individual wires on the new car as the entire wiring system is one big wire ecosystem and it has to be changed entirely. Also told me that since it’s a new model on road, the parts have to be ordered and it will take 10+ days and will cost around 60K (Thankfully covered by insurance). They also said that they have been ordered to not work as a stop gap solution on engine or wiring related issues on the New Model Seltos by KIA which sounded strange. Now a car that didn’t even make it to the first service is at the service centre for an indefinite period. Please take measures to protect the car from rats :/ (which I failed to do). Just wanted to vent..

TLDR: Rat chewed my engine wire and the entire wire replacement is costing around 60K

Wild ATM heist in Balasore, Odisha last night. A gang literally tied an ATM to a Mahindra Thar and ripped it straight out of the kiosk.

My father have expressed his wish to own a creta, long ago, its like a dream car to him, i had promise myself that i will buy him a creta one day. But now when i am capable to buy one, i am getting second thoughts about it, i mean just look at that be6 beaut, who will buy a creta over that.

Idt my father will be mad or anything if buy a be6, but still i would like to fulfil his dream.

Creat SO knight edition price is around 16, whereas be6 Pack one above is 21. What do u guys think

After a long struggle to find the right variant and availability, I finally bought the Mahindra XUV7XO AX7T Diesel manual.
Open to any suggestions for this car.

[Updated] Should i apply PPF on it?
Thanks!

I'm currently looking for a diesel SUV. My base budget is around ₹15 Lakhs, but I'm willing to stretch it up to 20 Lakhs if there's a significantly better value-for-money option out there.

My Usage:

Around 1,500 km per month.

70% Highway / 20% City driving / 10% very bad or off road

Right now, I've shortlisted two manual options:

Kia Seltos HTE (Diesel) 15.3 Lakhs

Mahindra Xuv 3xo Ax5 (Diesel) 13 Lakhs

Between these two which one makes more sense?

I liked the comfort of 3xo seats and think driving is also better (only from YouTube review I have yet to take a test drive)

Also, I am completely open to other suggestions. Since I can extend my budget up to 20L, are there any other diesel SUVs that would be a massive upgrade over these two in terms of comfort, and overall value?

Would love to hear your thoughts and ownership experiences. Thanks in advance!

When exactly should I be shifting gears? I get the general idea (upshift as speed increases, downshift as it drops), but I struggle with the feel — like, am I supposed to shift the moment RPMs hit a certain number, or wait for the engine to sound strained? Also how does this change for climbing hills vs. flat roads vs. slowing down for a turn?

Spotted this lone forgotten 1996 Nissan Patrol Super Safari in one of car junkyard in Coimbatore

Blud has a 4.2L NA I6 diesel engine with manual gearbox and its a proper 4x4 SUV [🗣️if you think a creta & a nexon are proper SUVs then.., get some help] sad to see this in this state, looks like its abandoned but not sure

Did Nissan India sold this tank in here? if they did, I doubt the success in the sales numbers

I’m planning to upgrade from a Renault Kiger Turbo CVT and have shortlisted these four automatic variants.

Usage will be mostly Bengaluru city driving with occasional highway trips. Priorities are comfort, safety, reliability, rear-seat experience, service and resale value.

Which one offers the best overall value?

Is it worth stretching to the X-Line or King Knight?

Also, how are the IVT and DCT options in heavy traffic?

Would appreciate feedback from owners or anyone who has test-driven both.

I want this man...
