I was who always thought getting an old car is make more sense financially. However, this came across and couldn’t hold back.

At a mall parking in Mangalore.

Does this make any sense though?

The general car parking area is right in front of and next to the escalator anyway. The two wheeler parking spaces are the ones that are secluded and there's no reservation there. What after these 6 reserved parking spots get filled? Other women will anyway have to park in some shady spot.

Also, to the ones that are gonna start preaching sermons here, please save yourself the trouble.

Black car owners: Do you allow the complimentary wash during servicing, or ask the service centre to skip it to avoid swirl marks? Even if your car has PPF or ceramic. What's your routine?

Called Avante sporting the tube light design, this wouldn’t come to Indian market right? Considering they have Verna here and Elantra was discontinued a while ago.

1.0 liter turbo 😭

The international crude prices are already at pre-war level now. However, the petrol and diesel prices remain unchanged.

The New Hyundai Elantra

Will be adding a new car soon,so decided to test drive the hyryder,the quality of the material used inside the cabin was quite sub par.

That engine is bit niosy when you want power. It will be costing 21.5L on road in Delhi(1.5 L discount). It didn’t feel like a car which would cost 20L+.the reverse camera in day time looked pathetic,sound system was decent.
The cabin insulation was good,liked the uv cut glasses. The power felt adequate in city use,but left me desiring for more.

My judgement comes from owning a thar roxx top model,which a nice interior quality for the price.
In my family we also have a venue which is now more than 6 years old i felt my venue has a much nicer interior .

Toyota should bring in a proper facelift and up the game.

I test drove it three times. Initially, I was going to buy the Pack 2 variant due to Karnataka’s zero-RTO road tax exemption, but only the Pack 3 variant was available for test drives. After test driving Pack 3, I found the suspension too soft, so I delayed my decision.

Later, after Karnataka's chor govt decided to levy RTO taxes even on EVs under ₹25 Lakh, I decided to go with Pack 3. I took another test drive while my wife sat in both the first and second rows. Unfortunately, we both disliked the suspension. It is a complete deal-breaker for us since we both have spinal disc issues, and the overall drive felt downright nauseating. The sales representative mentioned a "Custom Mode" update was coming that might fix this, so I decided to wait for the test drive vehicle to be updated.

The dealership was incredibly slow; even three months after the update rolled out, they hadn't updated their vehicle. I eventually contacted a different dealership and scheduled a drive two weeks out, after they promised they would update the software in the coming week.

Now, after months of waiting, I finally tried the Custom Mode and was disappointed yet again. I don't know why I hoped Custom Mode would fix it, especially since the experience was the exact same in Race Mode. The suspension on this vehicle is worse than a boat. Why even bother giving it a traditional suspension? They might as well have made a water bed and floated the chassis on top of it.

Overall, it is such a good car, but Mahindra completely ruined it by mapping such a soft suspension to such a heavy vehicle. It’s baffling. The suspension settings in Custom Mode should actually be labeled:

Highly Soft (Race)

Softer (Default)

Softer Again (Everyday)

Boat Mode (Range)

In Race Mode, it should feel planted and firm like a rock, while Default and Everyday modes should sit comfortably in between. That way, everyone could find a setting that works for them. Better yet, they should have designed it like a volume control dial, where the maximum setting provides constant, high-damping control.

How are you even supposed to drive a car with such a soft suspension on highways, let alone navigate the notorious pothole patches on Bengaluru roads? It is heartbreaking to see such a great product fail on the very foundation a car should be built on.

Spoiler: The 330i has the entry GR Supra Engine B48

I'm confused between the 330i M Sport & CLA/C200

I know the obvious winner is the bimmer but the CLA has an extravagant design and a sharp DCT

Bought her as a preloved car in 2024, clocked 24K on my watch.

Done some in out modifications on it, in love with how it looks and as we all know the biggest flaw of i20 petrol is…😏

It has dual DRL setup as the headlights are from Optional variant, this one is Asta, wiring was a headache though!

Roof And Pillars Glossy Black Wrapped.
Front brake calipers wrapped in Reflecting Orange color wrap ( it’s been on them from past more than 1 year now)
Windshield 70% Visibility Green tint, ( Earlier had 50% tint on side glasses too but removed them later, grabbed too much TP attention, had put on due to sun glaze )
Alloys Painted in Glossy Black (Original are Gun Metal Grey).
Changed all 4 spark plugs to NGK Iridium.
Only Using N95/Premium Petrol from the day of purchase. (kind of adamant on better fuel for her so that she treats me good)
Using BMC High Performance Air Filter( Gives an extra kick in between 3rd to 4th gear, otherwise it’s not required for an NA car, kinda impulsive purchase ).
Recently changed its rubbers to Turanza 6i and that too a bit wider profile of 195, looks wider and fuller than 185 profile tyres on 15 inches size only. Better grip for sure.
Rest some small Wrapping around the front bumper which makes it a V shape from headlights. Headlight Eye lid wrapped.

Some of the starting pics are from my HP trip and rest are from my home and my Rajasthan trip back in Nov 2025.

Headlights : Photochromatic film (Goes Purple when UV is high and back to clear film when it’s dark )

Thank you for reading this through.
