Swirl marks on the body in spite of the materials you use mean only one thing. You are not using sufficient water when washing the car and your microfibre cloth is not clean. Plastic parts tend to develop swirl marks too and you could use a plastic polish to restore them to a great extent. How long has it been since you got your car professionally…[Read more]
get your car polished by a professional and that would cure your car’s problem. Its not important that you wash your car only with car shampoo, you can use any normal shampoo we use daily, as they are not that hard and don’t have chemicals which can affect your car’s paint.
No not at all…both are at par.
Its the other way, i20 is cheaper to maintain than the Swift and Dzire. Maruti uses fully synth oil while Hyundai uses mineral oil. Regards.
@ Amit..what is the cost of mineral oil and synth oil per ltr and how much ltr is required in i20 and swift. does pouring synth oil in i20 crdi engine enhances the life of engine or will cause problems later on and void the gurant.
Regular maintenance cost are more or less same for both i20 and Swift. Now a days Swift diesel is using full synthetic engine oil (5W40) for hence it has become 3 times higher than i20 (which uses 15W40 ) in terms of engine oil change cost. Now rest of the things depends upon the cost of different parts of the car which requires a change time to…[Read more]
Hi Ashu, a lot of people put synth oil in their vehicles and it does smoothen out the engine than mineral oil. But in my opinion, we should not move from the manufacturers recommendation simply because other parts such as air filter, oil filter, diesel filter as well as consumables such as various coolants and fluids remain the same and we need to…[Read more]
maintenance cost of i20 is less than of swift, 20 K km service costs around 9000 rs. On the other hand, i20 costs less. Each and every agency makes most money from servicing. There were several complaints against a Maruti dealer in our area, now their license is cancelled. Better option is to stick with the company specified engine oil and go for…[Read more]
it depends upon the service station and ur handling
Both these cars are at the top of the luxury saloon range but I would recommend the S-Class for pure, indulging luxury and also because the S-Class has won several awards time and again for being the best luxury saloon.
Do you drive yourself or are you chauffeur driven? The Merc S-Class is great for rear seat comfort and is good as a chauffeur driven car. But if you like driving yourself, then the Audi A7 (sportback) is the car to pick.
The A7 will give you some exclusivity than the S-class on the road.also if you occasionally drive the car,the A7 would be better than the Merc-S.however if you are looking at better brand value and the rear seat comfort only,the merc is the way to go.the most comfortable place to be in.Regards…
Since you mentioned A7, I think another car you should shortlist is the Mercedes CLS. The most beautiful car to look at, great comfort, and its a good drive too! But that is the car you should drive, and not give it to your chauffeur. If you have a chauffeur, then go fot the Mercedes S-Class.
Keep calm and buy the S Class. It is as regal a car can possibly be.
Go for S class, far better than A7.
Comfort wise, A7 cannot match S-class.
you can go for HID kit, that’s not illegal. Usage of high beam is illegal. Any other bulb, emitting white light won’t help you in getting the better view of the road. If you don’t want HID, than just stick to normal yellow bulbs, you can use 100/130 or 90/100 philips bulbs to get the most light. You’ll have to install relays, that will help to get…[Read more]
use a 4300k (halogen color which is good for visibility in rain and fog dont fit white light if u want to fit then 5000k is the choice with 50w ballast . email this guy litessense@gmail.com he lives in cochin kerala i fitted in i20 car with hid projectors with 50w ballast (fx r projector) its simply amazing dont fall for my word just mail him or…[Read more]
i’ve been using same bulbs as u said for 3 years
i’m very much satisfied with them
intall a relay kit and check with other car light using stock lights
I think you got a counterfeit bulb, just printed and packed as 90/100 this you didn’t find the difference. You need relay for these bulbs. That may also be the reason for dim light.

Thank u all guys for your comments…wel I have installed a relay as somebody had suggested me before…… Anyways, I will try with HID kits sometime later…… Thanx again.
The EcoSport should be launched by April or May…
Among Duster and XUV…The XUV 500 will be a better buy..it has better space,comfort,features,styling and attractive pricing better than its competitors
wait for ecosport, out of Duster or XUV 500, I personaly feel that duster is a better choice. Far better ride and reliable Renalut engine, though you won’t get the luxury of 7 seater or more features, but the features offered on duster are enough for everyday use and the car is comfy and stable at high speeds. I had the test drive of dster just…[Read more]
Under ur budget..There are many SUV’s namely Safari Storme,, Scorpio,, Duster etc..
Xuv 500 is costly and will not come in your budget…
Duster is a good SUV for City… highway and off-road driving..it has a great ground clearance at 200mm which can tackle bad roads easily and has got a great Handling…
It has good suspension…decent comfort…[Read more]
In your budget, best car would be Safari Storme. It’s got powerful engine, Comfortable seats, lots of space and its in your budget. XUV 500 would be out of your budget, but its not a good car. Even some officials in random mahindra agency said its not a better car than safari. Biggest drawback of duster is that its 5 seater, otherwise its a very…[Read more]
Within your budget you’ll get the Scorpio and Safari Storme as well. If 12 lakhs is your on-road budget, you won’t get the XUV500 now. Prices have just been increased after budget, and the base W6 is 12.06 lakh ex-showroom Delhi.
I dont see the smart side of spending 12L for a Duster. Really not worth that much money. As correctly pointed out above, you wont get an XUV for 12L. That leaves us with the Scorpio and the Safari Storme. Between them, its the Safari that is the better vehicle. More space, much more comfortable, better interiors and similar performance and FE.
The Micra is a nice car the Thar can by no means match that level of refinement and quality. that said if you can live with it the Thar can take quite a beating.
Thar cannot match the refinement levels nor comfort level of Micra. If your driving is more off the road, than you can go for Thar,, its build like a tank and will last long than Micra.. If you want choice in this category with Thar, you can also opt for new Gypsy (if you can live with the running cost) if you want to do some serious offroading.…[Read more]
Thar is not sophisticated at all – so unless you are used to Mahindra MM540, old Willys level of driving comfort, then dont go for Thar. Little big vehicle, probably waiting for the Ecosport is a good idea.
Hey,
If you want to own a new big vehicle then what about the new stunning Renault Duster. The most demanding SUV till date.
Yes..Waiting for EcoSport will be a good idea…its a great compact SUV
wat about xenon xt..?
Yes, the i20 is a lower car than the Dzire and has a smaller boot since the Dzire is a sedan. I recommend it over the i20 for its driving pleasure and higher fuel efficiency.
Swift Dzire ground clearance – 170mm | i20 – 165 mm so yes i20 is a bit lower and can scrape speedbreakers when 3-4 are seated, Dzire has lesser risk of it although 5 mm extra makes very little difference. Both cars are same length at 3995 mm, both cars have nearly identical fuel economy in city. i20 is definetly better looking, more spacious and…[Read more]
@mahesh …i20 any day and in every aspect better the dzire which looks very odd.
I suggest you go for the i20 it feels like a more complete car and is easy to drive as well.
None is better in all aspects. The i20 is more feature laden and spacious for occupants while the Dzire is more for the Maruti loyalist since it really doesn’t have any strong differentiating feature other than the fact that its a Maruti. For broken roads, the Dzire has the slight edge with a little more GC and comparatively stiffer suspension…[Read more]
yup its true that I20 will be more prone to scratching speed breakers but its mostly possible when the car is loaded with above 4 persons or 4 persons
Beside this problem I20 is perfect in every aspect than Dzire & will be a great buy. You’ll not regret purchasing it
Better option would be I20, You’ll get more features than dzire and overall i20 is the better car. For ground clearance issue, if you are too worried about your car bottoming out, you can use spacers to increase the GC. As Amit said, do take a test drive of both the vehicles and you’ll notice the difference not only in GC, but also regarding the…[Read more]
Better go with i20… it will serve u well in all the aspects….
i20 is the best..
You can use good year duraplus. I’ve fitted them on my sadu’s Palio and my in-laws Vista. They are in good shape even after 15K kms.No noticeable wear. You can also go for Yokos or Michelin, but they tend to be more expensive.
I think 185/65 r13 is a bit too tall for the Indica – and it may foul with the wheel well. Check with a tyre size calculator available on the net if the outer diameter is more than 2% of the original size, that will lead to speedometer errors etc. The ideal upsize for you should be 175/60 R13, and this size is available for Indica whose OEM size…[Read more]
@abhikdas might want to suggest some options for you!
Best option, go Bridgestone. I’m having a terrible time with Apollo and previously had bad experience with Goodyear.
Just replied to your previous question below. With a strict budget of Rs. 7 lakh, I would suggest the Chevrolet Sail 1.2 LS ABS, as that falls within your budget (Rs. 6.7L on road, Rs. 5.8 L ex-showroom). Which city are you in? On-road prices are higher in Bangalore and Mumbai generally. Dzire VXI and Ford Classic don’t have ABS / airbag in the…[Read more]
I m based in Delhi…
how is the maintenance and after sale service of Chevy?
The Chevy comes with a 3 year/100,000km maintenance package which virtually makes free to own. Go for it.
On paper, chevy looks the best options, but keep in mind that spares are very costly for chevy cars, though it comes with 3 years warranty, if you are looking to keep the car for more than 3 years than I suggest you should go for Maruti. Ford Fiesta is a good car, but its getting old and don’t have features of other cars. I personally don’t like…[Read more]
