    It’s a comparison that’s waiting to happen. The Mahindra’s XUV500’s closest rival is the Tata Aria. Given similar price points, which of the two is a better deal?

        For the XUV mahindra must think of introducing the side facing seats as in the Scorpio as a variant… which would help for people who find the last row very cramped…am sure its not too much of a change…. but XUV is value for money…

        Only a drastic price drop can save the Aria..I dunno why they always seem to do that. Even with the Safari, they kept a lakh plus price diff bet scorpio..and lost out..by the time they dropped pricing…it was way too late..they did the same mistake with Aria..at launch itself people had decided against it due to pricing..when we as buyers can…[Read more]

    Why the Tata Vista diesel is better value than Maruti Suzuki Swift

    Tata Motors launched the face-lifted Vista a week after the new Swift was launched. The Swift is the popular and more preferred car among the two, but you will be surprised by this: for a certain set of buyers, the Vista diesel Quadrajet is a better proposition than the Swift diesel. Here’s why!

    Question of the day: Do diesel engines last as long as petrol engines?

    Evan Neeft Boro has a question that almost all new buyers have, who are not familiar enough with car technologies. Are the new diesel engines in the cars that we see today going to last as long as the petrol engines?

        The new gen diesel engines are as good as the petrol engines, as they are smoother than the older ones. With proper maintenance, oil change, and use of good fuel can see good life from them. I have been using a Tata Marina TDI diesel car which has done 126000km in a lil more than 5 yrs. This is not a new gen diesel, but even though the car has…[Read more]

        @ Sagar Shriwas : why HONDA cars r only in petrol because .. HONDA corp.. they dont have any expertise in diesel engines .. and they have to purchase desiel engine from either fiat or from some other manufacturer which again leads to increase in price .. which may lead to decrease in sales of HONDA CARS .. although i am waiting for HONDA CITY…[Read more]

        now a days diesel engines are using very evolved diesel injectors… higher compression is possible due to the cooling effect due to the very high pressure injection. but fuel in india is more often than not adultreated…leaving the injectors clogged after years of usage. so that leaves huge questions unanswered in indian case..of the life and…[Read more]

        @ankur, @kalyan:
        if any, then also it will b the first engine of honda on indian roads,
        and if that diesel engine do not succeed to gain place in market,
        this will b the huge loss to honda market value……….
        do u think that they will take the risk????

        In theory, diesel and petrol engines are quite similar. They are both internal combus­tion engines designed to convert the chemical energy available in fuel into mechanical energy.

        Diesel engines consume around 30% less fuel than petrol engines and this results in much lesser carbon dioxide emissions. The diesel engines produce virtually no…[Read more]

        Proper maintenance with timely services and oil change, using unadulterated fuel, not revving when the engine is cold and idling the turbo properly will easily see modern diesel engines cover 2,00,000 km or more without any issues. Diesels run at lower RPMs through their lifetime as opposed to petrols, its just they have higher pressure at which…[Read more]

        My Scorpio has done over 180k in six years and engine is still as good as new. still regularly clock over 140 easily.

        We should try to understand one thing that strategy of TATA(Trouble again Trouble Again) has been that assemble all the Jugaads together and paste this on emotional Indian masses by making them emotional on the name of Swadeshi.But now the whole scenario has changed, people understand very well.

        I believe TATA has all to taste success. But they should bring a newer version of cars altogether. The Indica we see everyday should get a strong sheet. They should launch the Nano Europa in India.
