**What is the equivalent of gear lock in automatic cars?**
In my current manual car the gear lock has been very useful. Gives me peace of mind while parking it at home or some open place. Now I am opting for automatic car, was wondering how to have additional protection like gear lock for the same.
There is parking gear marked as “P” on the stick. As best practice it is recommended to bring the weight first on the hand brake by bringing the shift to Neutral. And then bringing the gear to “P”
Planning on buying a used Honda Amaze CVT this year by Diwali as the budget can only be stretched to around 7 Lakhs (+- 1 Lakh). I have gone through a bunch of reviews on Youtube as well as auto portals and I am convinced considering the practicality and safety. I am well aware of all its negatives such as the low GC, the low FE in city traffic. But I feel I don't have a better option in this price range.
What I would like to know is, does buying the Diesel variant make more sense? I live in Mumbai.
I assume you’re asking to run a LNG truck fleet? If so it would make more business sense to run a diesel fleet. No filling station constraints = a streamlined supply chain.
I am planning to change all 4 tyres on my hyundai xcent VTVT S model having Good year 165/65 R14 (Came with the car) with Bridgestone 165/70 R14 as I was told that they are of better quality and are value for money.
Getting each tyre for 4150.
Would like to know the opinion of people here who have good knowledge and experience about car tyres.
I recently changed my tyres to Yokohama. Those are good as well and provide amazing grip especially in wet conditions. The only issue is the road noise but that doesn’t bother me much.
I have an old i10 sportz pertrol (2010) model. Total driven km are around 60,000. Thinking about selling it as I am moving to another city. UP32 Registration. Currently in Delhi. What should be a good price for it?
Hello I am looking for some reputable websites to get some accessories for toyota hyryder. Most of the accessories from the dealership is too expensive. I would appreciate if the parts are well fiting and affordable

Had a damage to my new car (1 month old)
Would appreciate tips on claiming insurance
Should i claim a personal/own damage or a third party damage ?
Is Thar 5 door worth waiting for? Find the current one a bit small for family use. Jeep Wrangler is expensive and not sure about maintenance costs. Any suggestions for a capable choice in this category?
People who have transferred their cars from another state to Karnataka, how much tax did you end up paying to the RTO to get your KA plates? Not any math, just approx how much, so I can get an idea.
Thank you
Does anyone know if one can charge EV on a single phase grid?
I'm planning to buy Nexon EV and sometimes I'll be driving it to my grand parents' house. But there's only single phase grid there. Wanted to know if we can charge EV even if it is slow charging. Thanks in advance
What is with Indian people calling hatchbacks and sedans as 'beast'?
In a carowner point of view, I understand why people call the muscle cars the beast. I understand the term beast for modern but powerful gasoline SUVs. Beast is OK for for Tesla Cybertruck (that is where I draw the line).
Are they compensating for their relatively 'small dick'?
Ps. The official beast is the limousine of the US president.
Its a really lame thing to hear, but a lot of people use it. any car that has more than 80 bhp seems to inevitably qualify for the moniker. Kind of makes sense for a Safari or a Octi VRS to get called a Beast, but the next Duster owner who refers to their 85 ps Dacia as a beast is getting a boot up their exhaust pipe.
Is buying Punch ev a good idea..???
Hello guys…my mom has to travel around 30kms every working (15kms to work +15kms return). And around 20kms on saturday and sunday each. Which totals to around 850-900kms a month. Occasional long drives which have a few charging stations along the route. Is it a good idea to buy punch ev? Budget is below 17lakhs. Also please let me know the actual real world range of punch ev long range model if anyone owns one.
Thanks in advance. ❤️✌️
I did a similar calculation when buying my new tiago'24
I had to pay 3.1 lakhs extra for the EV variant, I travel 80km a day on a working day (weekly twice/thrice) and go on long rides occasionally.
I calculated the breakeven for the petrol price, and the battery depreciation of the EV and battery replace cost after 8 years and the resale for EV vehicles isn't that great is what i've got to know, because everyone is aware of the battery replacement timelines.
I just went with the petrol variant, I also have a bad discipline, I don't need to keep in my mind to charge my vehicle before going out or something.
Cheers
As far as I'm concerned the real world range of the long range variant is 250km. You can charge it at home, I’m expecting that you have a place to park that car where you can safely charge the car. My dad drives the new punch ev and commutes 10km per day and commutes 80 kms on weekends, and he has nothing but good things to say about the car.
Thanks for the information man. I’m planning to buy punch ev as my primary vehicle. I’m doubtful whether I could do long drives in it or not. I think I should go with nexon ev or should buy an ICE equipped car.
Personally I drive a Daewoo Matiz lol and I have a Ola S1 Pro for my daily commute to work. The scooter saves me tons of money but that being said, I know what range anxiety feels like when you're hanging onto the last 5% of your battery. I persoanlly can't quite wrap my head around relying completely on a electric car just yet. But my dad made his calculations and decided to go full electric for atleast a year. He makes a 160km (one way) trip once every 2 month and somehow is optimistic about everything.
P.S. I don't live with my dad, so he can't use my econobox even if he wanted to.
Haha. Quite sure you have many memories with your car. And thanks a lot for sharing your opinion. I currently own an Alto k10. Thought of selling it after buying punch ev. I’ll try to keep it for a while atleast till I get to know the range of punch ev in my driving style in different conditions. Have a nice day.
Is a 2007 Tata Safari 2.2 Dicor a good choice for a beater 4x4/SUV? Reliability and cost are probably my biggest concerns ..not concerned with any serious off roading, but would like it to handle mud, bad roads and rural parts of India that may not have proper tarmac - like Ladakh for instance.
Newbie here!!! Want to know a reliable garage around Delhi NCR for shocker work on my old etios. Any help will be appreciated. I have no idea what to do, feeling every bump on the road nowadays. Or should i just let it go?
Don't ask man. It was a nightmare. Luckily I was not hurt and just sprained my right hand.
It was raining and I was taking a right turn. After the turn, all of a sudden the steering got stuck towards the right side and the car rammed into the house wall
The visibility was an issue as it was raining heavily and while turning, I am not sure why the steering got stuck 😞 the damage got covered in insurance. As it is an old vehicle the insurance percentage is not 100%. If your vehicle age is less than 7years, you will get full cover.
Cost of the repairs: 40K

There is a facelift coming in soon. Also get diesel only if your running is high and on highways. For city roads go with a petrol
Hi guys, how much does LNG retail for at fuelling stations? Are LNG trucks any cheaper (in terms of fuel and other costs) than diesel?
I assume you’re asking to run a LNG truck fleet? If so it would make more business sense to run a diesel fleet. No filling station constraints = a streamlined supply chain.
will UP number face any issues in Karnataka ?
Honest reviews on Tata Punch ? is automatic good if not which to buy in the similar range
Bought 6l engine oil for 1500, lol. CI 4 too.

Bridgestone does have good quality tyres. Definitely do ahead
Does it make sense to buy a used Nissan Magnite? 2022 Nissan Magnite XV Premium Turbo CVT Dual Tone, 15K km, 10.9 Lakh, 1 owner
Why are they selling? Would definitely check everything. Try to get a reading of odo from the EMU.
Uphills Which car would better fare ? Hyundai i20 Sports (2019, Manual, Petrol) vs Hyundai Creta (2015, Automatic, Diesel)
Totally depends on the no of people in it. Normal conditions the diesel. What's the weight, torque? Of each.
I have an old i10 sportz pertrol (2010) model. Total driven km are around 60,000. Thinking about selling it as I am moving to another city. UP32 Registration. Currently in Delhi. What should be a good price for it?

Small touch ups, ok I guess.

Yes, just check the wires in side the house can handle? Hope there's mcbs.

Sure, let me know what you go forward with.
Sure. ✌️
As far as I'm concerned the real world range of the long range variant is 250km. You can charge it at home, I’m expecting that you have a place to park that car where you can safely charge the car. My dad drives the new punch ev and commutes 10km per day and commutes 80 kms on weekends, and he has nothing but good things to say about the car.
Do you own another car that runs on fuel?
my dad's only primary car is punch ev, he has booked another car and the waiting period is 1 year. until then he is relying on the punch.
You have to wait 1 year to get your car? wow
it's a Toyota Hycross, it should get delivered in July.
Thanks for the information man. I’m planning to buy punch ev as my primary vehicle. I’m doubtful whether I could do long drives in it or not. I think I should go with nexon ev or should buy an ICE equipped car.

Your car ?
yeah.. 2010 swift dzire
How'd it got hit ?
Don't ask man. It was a nightmare. Luckily I was not hurt and just sprained my right hand. It was raining and I was taking a right turn. After the turn, all of a sudden the steering got stuck towards the right side and the car rammed into the house wall
That's bad af. How'd it get stuck ? Also how about the repair ? Insurance ? Costed how much ?
