        ~90 HP modern day CRDi diesel engine is perfectly okay for an entry level MUV. Yes, you won’t get performance stats like a sedan, a hatchback or an SUV but it does not matter for a family vehicle.

        Yes, its underpowered..they shud have given power but i guess they did it as a cost cutting measure this could be one of the reasons..

        I have Ertiga with me. You can have performance when you have 4 or 5 people in the car. But when you need to put 7 people plus little luggage then it becomes a practical car and sure will move the people but performance comes down. But for large families and occasional relatives visit this car is the best. Has the luxury and comfort and you need…[Read more]

        As long as you can keep the turbo spooled, it is more than enough. If a person feels it is underpowered, that is probably turbo lag which is felt, once the turbo spools the 1.3 MJD from Fiat is ‘more than enough’ strong even on full payload which is about 1.5 to 1.7 tonnes for the Ertiga.

        If you ask me, it was always a good buy after that price reduction. Even if it is discontinued, I think it is perfectly okay to buy it because in any case Honda is going to roll out a new variant in 2014, which (in all likelihood) will share many parts with the existing version of Jazz so part unavailability won’t be an issue.

        I think both have waiting period close to 4 or 5 months. Book both and wait for what is allotted to you. Or you can decide even after booking as you have lot of time. By the time you will know the drawback of Amaze too as users will be providing it. To me both are nice cars.

        Considering the quality and cost cutting of both, I would rather take the Vista D90 or the i20 (if the budget permits), both can do just about everything that the above mentioned cars can. Regards.

        Ideally get a set of polyurethene / rubber mats ,over your regular floor mats. These can be washed every other day and will keep your car clean. Costs just about Rs. 700 a set.

        Only the Vento satisfies all your requirements. Especially on the highway the Vento drives like a dream – second only to the Linea in my opinion. The in-gear acceleration of the Tdi on the Vento beats every car in its segment (except its twin the Skoda Rapid), pretty useful when you are overtaking in tight situations.

        try doing this experiment – keep in 4th gear and drop ur speed to around 30-40kmph with both cars and then slam on the accelerator and see what happens:-) both the city and vento will start to pull, but the vento will leave the city faar behind. the city will eventually catch up once the engine revvs climb, but thats besides the point, the point…[Read more]

        If I was in the same dilemma, I would have picked City over Vento and Rapid (Diesel). Its almost 2 lakhs cheaper and a practical choice. You get all the features too. Unless the highway is crammed with vehicles and you have to do a lot of overtaking, City can definitely match up to these cars. Like Hrishik mentioned, no substitution for driver judgement!

        A car’s warranty can be classified into – engine warranty, cycle parts warranty and electrical warranty… installing after market horns may void the electrical warranty if any wires are cut and if any damage occurred to the original equipments.. Regards :D

        You can install twin horns with a relay. In fact, if you ask the Hyundai dealer – they will gladly do it themselves. They will tell you about warranty issues to discourage you from getting it fitted aftermarket.

        The category diesel/petrol that is supplied to the fuel stations is controlled by the refineries which in turn are controlled by the Govt of India. For your information, the diesel currently being distributed is ULSD or diesel which has 15ppm sulphur in it.

        Bharat Stage is like the Euro emission standards used in Europe. In fact, a lot of parameters of BS-IV currently in practice are similar to Euro-IV parameters.

    Five upcoming Hyundai cars in India

    Hyundai has taken the fluidic design language to almost all its cars in its line up, so much so it’s hard to differentiate between cars. And the company is planning on rolling out at least five more vehicles in the next two years – and expect all of them to sport the same fluidic design theme.
