          You do not get a diesel Swift for 6L. Beat and Figo is very simple. Depends on how much space you need.

          Not knowing what your specific requirements are, I would say the City is the best of this lot. Followed by the Verna

          If you’re going to take a hammer to it, then it would probably be the Trax ;)
          But if you’re talking in terms of safety, then it’s not got to do with just a strong body. Infact, sometimes it’s better if the body absorbs the impact and crumples than pass it on to the cabin inside. There are a lot of other factors, like airbags, crumple zones, ABS,…[Read more]

          The Innova petrol takes pretty well to a CNG kit. Many cabbies use this option – they buy the base petrol variant (cheapest variant) and then add a CNG kit to it. If you add a good sequential CNG kit, it should serve you well.

          do you go for offroading if then go for the all terrain otherwise no use of all terrain go for the highway tires..

          For regular use, HT tyres would be fine – for highway / city as they have lower rolling resistance. However, if you do encounter bad roads, go for all-terrain tyres, as they have better flex for comfort and a wider tread pattern for grip.

          The distance takes 13 to 15 hours depending on the driving speed. Also add the time for which you may stop including tolls, food, nature’s call etc. From what I have heard, the Mumbai – Aurangabad – Nagpur road should be ideal. It would be Mumbai – Ghoti – Sinnar – Aurangabad – Jalna – Mehkar – Karanja – Amravati – Nagpur. The conventional road is…[Read more]

          First of all, make sure there are no leakages and that the radiator fan is working.

          Hi, is the engine over heat lamp glowing or is the comparison based on how much the bonnet felt hot to you on touching it? If its your personal perception of excess heating (by touching the bonnet), its primarily because ambient temperatures are much higher currently than a few months back. This is something that you absolutely need not worry…[Read more]

          If there are no warning lights on the instrument cluster, you may visit a MASS as per your convenience so that they can verify the same and you can be at peace. For the fan, if I am correct it should be on your right and the cars left in the engine bay on opening the bonnet, closer to the headlamp side and away from the passenger cabin. Mostly it…[Read more]

          Do not touch the radiator fan when the engine is running. It can switch on and off automatically. How is the AC performance? Cooling is the first thing that deteriorates if the engine overheats. If the cooling is fine and if the lamps and gauges are showing everything is normal, no need to worry.

          Its a lot bouncier as it gets into the three digit territory, so in real life it just won’t be able to stay with the Figo. You may safely ignore any paper comparisons of power, torque, power to weight ratio etc since they will look nice only on paper. Regards.

          FE will be similar for all and is more dependent on driving habits and conditions, some people do mention say that the i20 is not great in this department, but personally I feel that only the super light Swift will have noticeably better FE than the others which are over 10% or more heavier than the Swift. Ride and Handling will be noticeably…[Read more]
