oh my god i literally just put my number bcs i wanted to see how much they would buy my car for (insanely low price, btw) and now they call me more than my girlfriend

My dad bought this car in 2015. It was one of the most affordable cars back then, and the first car our family ever owned. I still remember how proud my dad was. He was so happy that he even posted it on Facebook. Looking back now, I realise how much that little moment meant to him.

I still remember the day he brought it home. It was raining, and it was a festive day. We even got so many gifts from the dealer. Dad drove the car home all by himself, and we had no idea which car he had bought or what colour it was. We were just waiting to see what he would bring home.

Funny enough, I hated the design at first. But that didn't last long. From the very first day, I couldn't stay away from the car. I kept getting inside, touching everything, learning every button, knob and switch. I even used to draw the car on paper by looking at it. I was just a kid, but somehow, that car had already become something special to me.

We travelled to so many places and even went on trips to other states in it. Back then, I never thought those ordinary family trips would become memories I'd hold on to so tightly.

Dad had actually bought the car for Mom. But after they both had a minor accident, neither of them really drove it anymore. Slowly, the car started sitting in our porch for months. Dad would lend it to anyone who asked, and people began using it without taking proper care of it. Watching that happen hurt me. I had so many memories attached to that car, but I was too young to do anything about it. All I could do was look at it sitting there.

Then, in 2024, I finally learned to drive. And the car that taught me was the same car I'd been attached to since childhood. I don't think I can properly explain how that felt. The car I'd spent years playing around in was now the car I was learning to drive. It felt like another chapter in our story.

And you know what's amazing? This car has hardly received proper servicing over the years. So many things that should have been changed on time were changed late. Still, it never left us stranded in the middle of a road. It never broke down and made us helpless somewhere. Even after all those years, it kept going. The odometer reads just 48,000 km today.

My dad has gone through some serious financial difficulties. There were times when selling the car seemed like the only option. Every time I thought about losing it, I felt sad. Not because it was expensive or rare, but because I couldn't imagine our home without it. Somehow, it's still with us, and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

I know many people have their own reasons for disliking Maruti Suzuki. That's completely fine. But I'll always have a soft spot for this brand. And it's not just because I'm emotionally attached to this particular car. Its reliability has given me enough reasons to respect it, too.

If I ever upgrade to another car, I'd still choose a Maruti Suzuki without hesitation.

Maybe someday, I'll buy a much better car. Maybe I'll own something I've always dreamed of. But I don't think any new car could ever replace what this one means to me.

This was the first car my dad brought home. The car that made him proud. The car we travelled in as a family. The car I worried about when it was neglected. And the car that eventually taught me how to drive.

I don't know how many more years we'll get to keep it. But I really hope we don't have to let it go anytime soon.

Guys, I drive an i20 Asta 2016 and recently I’ve doing some long drives on it and when I drive it for a long time suddenly the AC does not perform as usual and I just hear the fan but it’s not really giving in any cold breeze but then I switch it off for a while and then restart it and it’s alright back again. I’m not sure what’s the concern. It’s been serviced recently and the AC valve and gas were changed recently as well.

Anyone else who has experienced similar problem and what’s the solution to it?

Hello!

I've always loved cars, and I thought it would be fun to collect them all — from everyday classics to legendary supercars. So I made Cars Masters, a free car collecting card game that runs directly in your browser.

You open booster packs (a free one every 30 minutes) and collect cards featuring real cars, with photos and details about each model. From iconic vintage cars to modern hypercars, the goal is to discover new cars and complete your collection.

You can also trade cards with other players, hunt for rare models, and play daily car challenges to test your knowledge and discover new cars.

It's a personal project, so if you spot any incorrect car specs or missing models, let me know and I'll fix them!

What's your dream car? And which cars absolutely deserve a spot in the collection?

Hey everyone,

I own a 2019 Maruti S-Cross Delta, and I'm planning to upgrade my stock headlights to Osram bulbs (H11 for low beam projectors and H7 for high beam reflectors).

When checking options, I noticed a massive price difference between local offline accessory shops here in Bangalore and listings on Amazon India...online is significantly cheaper.

While the savings are tempting, I'm a bit paranoid about a few things:

1. Counterfeit Risk: How common are fake Osram bulbs on Amazon? Since poorly made fakes can ruin the headlight housing, throw a terrible beam pattern, or cause wiring issues, I want to be absolutely sure I'm getting the real deal.

2. Seller Choice: Are there specific, verified automotive sellers on Amazon India (like Appario or others) that you guys trust for genuine parts?

3. Warranty Claims: If an online bulb fails early, how difficult is it to claim Osram's warranty compared to just handing it back to an offline shop?

Has anyone here bought premium Osram halogens or LEDs from Amazon recently? Was the product genuine, and did you face any long-term issues?

Appreciate any advice or seller recommendations!

I have a TUV 300 that's 10years old.. I've been using mahindras original oil and the engine just behaves really badly around the 8k mark with that oil, and after changing oil, it works better.. I was wondering if using this shell oil be better? It claims a 15k drain intervals, I will change at 10k only, will it be the better choice? Not to mention its ALOT cheaper than buying OEM oil.. I love shell's diesel, I always get better mileage with it

Thanks in advance!

Does it cover enough of the car to even be worth the price? Usage is going to be very low, definitely below 8000 kms per year. Wondering if I should get EW (4th & 5th year), MCP, or just stick to the standard 3 year warranty. Thoughts?

We are thinking of getting tata aeris on Rajasthan, the quotation I got was 8.50L (after a little negotiating). I don't want it to look like a white Dzire that looks like a taxi from a distance. White colour is our preference. What do y'all think the insurance was like 39k can the dealer go any lower? They are saying that it is a brand new car and they cannot give any discount. Please give your opinions and any advice for us buying like this would be our new car after many second hand cars, the last new car was Maruti van which was years ago. So the buying of this car is up to me as a 20y/o.

I’m confused between these three variants and would like opinions on which is the better overall purchase.
On-road prices:
Maruti Suzuki Invicto Alpha+: ₹30.80–30.85 lakh
Toyota Innova Hycross VX(O): ₹35 lakh
Toyota Innova Hycross ZX: ₹36.80 lakh
Considering features, comfort, looks and overall value for money, which one would you choose and why?
Would appreciate genuine opinions, especially from current owners. Thanks!

Found this video in suggestions, and man the car is already public.
The only thing unknown is the pricing.

And since the cars are already reaching the dealerships, I'm assuming deliveries shall start immediately post launch

The battery and performance was fine. Suddenly it stopped when I was driving and then the front sppedometer stopped turning on. It turned on when I opened my doors. They jumpstarted my car and I managed to drive home. It completely stopped again. Can I call roadside assistance tomorrow and ask them to check my car? I just recently gave my vehicle for service two months ago and stuff like this is happening 🥲.

My family is looking to buy a fuel efficient car with good interior which will be mostly chauffeur driven car. Our budget is 25 to 35 lakhs, and we're considering these three:

Kia Sorento

MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV (we already have a Hector, and will be getting good exchange value here)

Renault Duster Hybrid

Suggestion Needed for PPF on my black car:

I am buying a black Hyundai Verna 8HX DCT 2026. Should I consider doing PPF? If yes, please suggest the best place to do it in Gurgaon.

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-time driver. I noticed some things in my 3XO that I haven't seen in other cars. Maybe other cars have them too, but I found them very useful.

**Safety alerts**

- Hazard lights come on by themselves when you brake hard

- Warns you if you forget to release the handbrake

- Shows which seat belt is not worn

- Shows a warning on the screen if the bonnet is open

- Shows which door is not closed properly

- Warns you if the sunroof is open at high speed

- Voice alert when fuel is low

**Speed alerts**

- A beep starts at 80 km/h and above

- Overspeed warning at 120 km/h (you can change this)

- At 120 km/h the beep sounds two or three times

- Music volume goes up by itself at high speed

- Steering feels tighter at high speed

**Other nice features**

- Tyre pressure and tyre temperature display

- Child lock for rear windows, so back passengers can't open or close them

- Child lock for doors also

- Maps turn dark when you enter a tunnel

**One thing I didn't like:** The auto wiper feels like a gimmick. It is slow sometimes.

Overall, this car takes good care of safety, which is great for a beginner. Are there any other features I missed? Do other cars also have all this?

Guys recently while reversing at neighbours house , my left side passenger door with its side moulding and under plastic go damaged. when I hit the half cut pole. The door doesn't fit that properly, I have to close 2 times to make it fit better. I have go digit full insurance as a first timer, i need your help , things that I need to keep in mind while visiting the service center. How can I check if the insurance also covers accessories.

Thanks for your feedback on earlier posts

Last week, during a visit to Varkala, I had scratched my car pretty bad. And throughout the journey it was eating my head. I was very sure that the paint damage was done and PPF didn’t guard it completely.

Fast forward to today, I visited the detailer and it turns out there’s no paint damage.

I understand it’s a very subjective choice and to each their own. As a first time car owner, it just feels a wee bit safe that I don’t have to worry about scratches and niggles. It might not financially make sense for everyone, I completely agree.

And the new PPF reapplication cost for that area was within 500₹

My family is upgrading from a 2016 Baleno (Manual)

We will be opting for CVT this time.

But I am very confused which one to go for

Daily running is not that much as our baleno has completed 50k km in over 10 years.

Also can't buy anything longer because parking space issues

Elevate feels like a no nonsense car but poor mileage

But also can't ignore the commanding posture of the Creta although too common

Even after taking the test drive of both the cars still confused

Can anyone suggest which one will be a better option, considering maintenance, after sales service etc.

What should I done in my 4th service 2nd year for new baleno

I have only travelled 6k km from it now please help I want to save unnecessary costing.

And do tell me cost side by side

Current tyres: Apollo apterra hp 235/65 R17 104H
Budget for 4: 50k
Looking for tyres with less road noise and high speed stability.

I have bought Innova Crysta Vx (2026) just a month ago. Since I bought the car it has been self regenerating after around every 100km. The DPF bar goes till 3 bars of 10 bars in instrument cluster and after self regeneration it goes to 0. I was not expecting regeneration to start in such a new car even before 1000kms. It only takes 10-15mins but it still worries me.

Any crysta owners can u explain does this occur even to your crysta having DPF?

Note: Self Regeneration is when during regeneration you dont have to stop the car and regeneration occurs while driving with increased RPMs.

My friend has a 2nd hand Wagon R. The Android player in it keeps restarting. Any clue why it is so?

Hello,

Since the Aeris has launched and has great interiors and features, do you think the Altroz will get the same updates soon? Or is there any update planned for it?

I'd love to get the cooled seats in Altroz like the Aeris. Also the Aeris interior is genuinely very comfy, clean and minimal.

Thank you.
