Gone are the day when driving was a pleasurable and de-stressing experience be it in city or on highways without any fear of getting e-challan or Court Notice due to over "speeding as per rules" or any other minor offence tht may not be life threatening.  I share my recent experience while coming back from Mahabaleshwar to Mumbai.  As I was aware about fine of Rs.2000/- ? for speeding on "Mumbai Pune Expressway" and on "Pune Bagalore highway" I kept myself in total control ?by keeping speed below 80 Km/h  throughout journey on highway i.e. from Wai Junction till e ..read more

Spotted this in Mumbai, looks like the 3-door Jimny.  Maruti Suzuki has greenlit the Jimny for an India launch. But it will be the 5-door model with a 1.5 litre petrol engine likely paired with mild hybrid tech that arrives here but no specific timeline has been released.  Maruti Suzuki has already been locally manufacturing 3-door LHD versions of the Jimny for export for almost about a year now.  What are your thoughts about this ..read more

Dear Friends, For the last 3 years, I have been owning a TATA Nexon XZA+ automatic (petrol). Now I want to sell it and own a new i20 NLine DCT topend varient. Can someone suggest me if I will be doing right? I know that comparison between the two might not be possible for being SUV and Hatchback, but I know that the N Line has beter technology. However, i don't know about its safety rating which is 5 star for Nexon. I live in Delhi and so far didn't find any issue with the Nexon, but the blue N line looks very appealing to me. The -ve point of N line however is lower ground clearance ..read more

The XUV700 seems to have been a big hit with us Indian buyers but what would you think of a pick-up based on the same? Mahindra did make one the Scorpio Getaway before. We only got it with the first-gen Scorpio though there was a second-gen model based on the current Scorpio in some global markets. These here are renderings of a pick-up derivative of the XUV700 though with a lot more off-road focus. Chunky tyres, beefier bumpers, bed-mounted spare wheels, this version looks ready to go off-road racing. So what is you opinion? Would a rough and tuff monocoque pick-up be appealing?

Here are some pictures of the facelifted Creta from the show floor in Indonesia. Hyundai again gone for a heavy revision to the styling - particularly up front - in place of more subtler changes. The Tucson like nose is a big change from our car while changes to the rear are less prominent by comparison - it still gets a revised tailgate and tail-lights. Then there is the tech too - it's got ADAS in international markets so that could be on the cards for India too. The current Creta never appealed to me in terms of styling that much and this new one's front end is a bit too busy with the extra ..read more

Dear friends, I own a Tata Nexon AMT XZA+ model for last 3 years. Recently I went to Hyndai show room and found I20 N line DCT (top model) and liked the same very much. But when I enquired about it's on road price in Delhi, the same was informed to be INR 13.5 Lacs. I liked the interior and exterior of this car very much. I also went to volkswagon showroom to check the new Taigun. I liked the exterior, doors appered to be sturdy but I found the interior to be dull. I also observed the reversing camera of substandard quality. Although I am comfortable at arranging Rs 14 Lacs but am slightl ..read more

Here are some new images of the new Tata Punch micro-SUV. While they officially revealed the car in a shade of blue new images show the car will also come in a bright orange and a bronze-brown like tone. The white inserts on the dash band door cards does make the cabin look brighter than the concept's though given our climate it might not be that easy to keep clean particularly if it is upholstery finish. Other pics suggest a decently roomy rear seat and 16-inch wheels where everyone else here seems to do with 15s. So what is your thoughts on the Punch. It's got the family looks and upright SU ..read more

Suzuki Swift scores 0 stars in Latin NCAP. So now everyone is going to put the blame on Maruti Suzuki because they didn't make a safe car. But it was our mistake too because you guys asked for more fuel efficiency so Suzuki tried to decrease the weight of that car and made it fuel efficient. But we never thought about safety right? We just wanted the touch screen display in in the center console, we just wanted the rain sensing wipers and automatic LED headlights but did we never thought about safety. We were like f*ck safety we just want a cheap car which is fuel efficient and have white colo ..read more
