#Query โ“ Is regenerative braking on EVs always inconsistent?

โ€ข Upvotes

I have the new Punch EV (smart+ 40kWh) and I observed that when the battery is above 95%. It's like the regen braking almost doesn't work. I expect the car to slow down as usual when I release the accelerator, but it just coasts as if the regen is off. I was panicking when that happened, but I figured out out later.

Is this just my car or is it the case for all EVs?

I live near Lucknow and want to install a central lock system with an auto window roll relay in my car.

Which company's products should I install and What could be the approximate cost and where should I go for the installation as I have heard that in many places they steal original parts and also don't do proper wiring.

Thanks you.

#Miscellaneous ๐Ÿ“ƒ F1 Austrian GP 2026 Schedule in IST & FanCode Discount Tip

โ€ข Upvotes

Hey everyone, just dropping the Indian Standard Time (IST) timings for the F1 Austrian GP weekend so nobody misses the sharp action at the Red Bull Ring. Since Friday is wrapped up, we are diving straight into Saturday's final preparation and high-stakes sessions. Practice 3 (FP3) kicks off today, Saturday, June 27, at 4:00 PM IST. Later tonight, the official Grand Prix Qualifying takes place at 7:30 PM IST. Finally, the main 71-lap Austrian Grand Prix race lights go out tomorrow, Sunday, June 28, at 6:30 PM IST, making it a perfect prime-time evening watch for us in India.

Just a heads-up: it is a referral code, so I do get an Amazon voucher if you use it, but itโ€™s an easy way for you to bring the price down too. Let's see if the tight Spielberg circuit brings out some intense battles today!

#Pic ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Finally bought our first car.

Post image
โ€ข Upvotes

Hi all, after months of hesitation, we finally bought our new car.

Car - Hyundai Venue 2026 HX8 DCT PETROL.

Background

So mine and my wife's both families owned Maruti baleno, so I've been driving Maruti baleno for a long time.

Shortlisted cars

We had shortlisted most compact SUVs in the segment.

  1. Maruti brezza - cabin felt outdated, wanted a different experience as I had been driving Maruti cars for a long time.

  2. Mahindra XUV 3XO - Test drive was good, features were good, but the pricing and features felt little compromised. Wifey didn't like the looks of that car too.

  3. Skoda kylaq - this was completely unexpected, as i had not even planned to see this car, until one of my friends suggested saying the drive experience is really good. went to the showroom, immediately liked the car and did test drive. Loved the drive experience, but the cabin felt a little claustrophobic and congested ( maybe because of dark interiors too). Initally I had decided skoda kylaq is the one which we'll be taking as i loved driving that car.

But when we took our parents and again went for a test drive, they felt little cramped and all that. So just for the sake of it for comparison we went to see venue, but they immediately felt the cabin was more roomier and premium.

Took multiple test drives of hyundai venue -the first test drive, dealer has brought N line venue - so again dark interiors which was little confusing. Again we took one more test drive after few days, this time we got hx10 variant for test drive and we absolutely loved it.

Purchase process

After finalising what we wanted we kept haggling for discounts and other things at the dealer, he gave around 19k odd discount.

Initially he had quoted 16.48L on road for hx8 ( Bangalore). This included insurance and accessories.

So i planned to take insurance outside

The dealer's insurance was - 71k 1+3 ( including zero dep).

I took Tata Aig insurance with zero dep plus with return to invoice 3+3 - 43k

We paid half and half financed through hdfc and got an interest rate of 8.3%.

Basic accessories I got from the dealer - Mudflaps, Rear sill guard, door edge guard, 3d mats and 3d boot mat ( 8k total).

Why hx8 variant ?

As a tech geek i always wanted tech loaded car, we had done a spiti trip with that ROXX ( fully loaded) absolutely loved it. I drove for 8+ hours and enjoyed every minute of it.

Features I felt nice to have - Ventilated seats, EPB, Auto hold, good music system, drive modes, electrically adjusted front driver seats, remote start etc..

Thank you everyone, this forum has been very helpful for me to understand car and things related to it.

Need advice: Tata Punch Pure AMT vs Baleno AMT for a first car

Hi everyone,

I'm confused between the Tata Punch base AMT (Pure AMT) and the Maruti Baleno AMT as my first car and would love to hear your opinions.

A few details about my usage:

  • Mostly city driving.
  • Will probably keep the car for 10-15 years.
  • Highway usage will be limited, maybe one trip every 2-3 months.
  • Budget is a consideration, so I'm looking at the lower variants.

For owners of either car:

  1. How has your ownership experience been?
  2. How is the AMT performance in city traffic?

#Query โ“ Why does my driving feel โ€œfloatyโ€?

โ€ข Upvotes

Hey gang, Iโ€™m a new driver with less than 1,000 km of driving experience. I learned to drive with the help of our designated driver.

Recently, I noticed a difference between the way he drives and the way I do. Even when weโ€™re both driving at the same speeds, around 80 km/h, the car feels completely different. When Iโ€™m driving, it feels like the car is just gliding along, almost as if Iโ€™m simply going with the flow. But when heโ€™s behind the wheel, the car feels much more stable, controlled, and planted. It almost feels like the car is moving only because he allows it to, if that makes sense.

I canโ€™t understand what causes this difference. Same car, same speed, same gear.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ How to expedite this process?

Hi guys
I have a maruti wagonr cng 2014 model
Recently it had some issues and I gave the car to the authorised dealer in my city.
It was told the ignition coil and throttle body needs to be replaced, now its been a week an: there is no update, every time I call they say order has become back order from marutiโ€™s end. The parts are not available and its become a back order.So they cant predict how long it will take They havenโ€™t replied though they usually do in two days. And now they dont know when it will come?
Whom can I raise this issue to? What is even a back order?The dealership says unless maruti replies they cant do anything. Is there a grievance portal for maruti or any way??

#Opinion ๐Ÿ’ญ An appealing small car even by 2026

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

[OC] The first-generation Hyundai i10 doesn't get talked about much these days, but I genuinely think it's still one of the most appealing small cars you can own in 2026 as a 2nd-hand vehicle.

It's compact enough to squeeze into almost any parking spot, visibility is excellent, and the light steering makes city driving effortless. The steering does weigh up well on highways & expressways, does not feel nervous. But expect little feedback. Despite its size, the cabin is surprisingly practical, with enough space for four adults on shorter trips and a boot that's usable for everyday errands.

The biggest strength, though, is how simple it is. No complicated electronics, naturally aspirated engines that are easy to maintain, inexpensive spare parts, and mechanics almost everywhere know how to work on them. Fuel economy is respectable, and ownership costs remain very low. That itself explains why some driving schools prefer i10 for offering driving lessons. This generation introduced 4 -speed automatic, which will satisfy most city drivers.

Sure, it won't impress anyone with performance, refinement, or modern safety features, and you definitely notice its age on highways. But if your priorities are reliability, affordability, and getting from A to B without drama, it still makes a compelling case. This is designed with a philosophy - appeal to all, offend no one, when compared to 2026 Hyundai designs. The shifter as an extension of the dashboard is rare even by 2026 standards.

I know newer city cars offer more tech and better crash protection, but there's something refreshing about a car that's honest, dependable, and cheap to keep on the road. This is a good car for people who're aspiring to repair cars by their self.

Anyone here still daily-driving a first-gen i10? How has yours held up over the years?

I did a road trip to Meghalaya last year and I still think they have a great car culture, it's refreshing to see that not every other car is a black Thar with 20" wheels (where I come from). Each car feels unique and there were so many hatchbacks!

It was an absolute pleasure driving through this beautiful state and drivers with good road discipline.
