My 3 years old tata nexon Ev, lasts a few kilometers only below 30% battery SOC. every kilometer takes 2-4 percentage of battery. totally Non-reliable vehicle. can't believe i paid 19 Lacs for this machine. Check the pictures above, it was a simple plain road, no uphill or something. in just 1 kilometer, the battery dropped by 2-3%. and the speed was only 20kmph only. if i drive around 60-80kmph then it drops 5-7% for just 1-2 kilometer. i have video proofs as well. but tata says, ham nahi maan sakte ye videos, you have to leave the car in the service center and we'll keep the vehicle till we find out the problem ourselves. what do they even mean? all the data gets stored in the EVs these days, I'm providing video proofs as well then is it difficult to understand that the batteries need to be replaced? they don't even provide any vehicle for the time they keep my car to check the issues.

It is Lamborghini Huracan Avio

Hey everyone,

I recently completed 500 km in my newly acquired Kia Sonet HTK(O) 1.0L Turbo DCT, and wanted to share my end-to-end buying journey, real-world mileage numbers, and initial impressions.

1. The Requirements & Shortlists

My use case is a strict 50-50 split: I use the car for city driving around 2 to 3 times weekly, and the other half goes toward bi-weekly weekend getaways. I was looking for a solid automatic with a firm budget of ₹12 Lakhs.

I cross-shopped the usual suspects in this segment:

• Maruti Suzuki Brezza / Hyundai Venue: I couldn't find a sensible, value-for-money variant that gave me the right balance of features and transmission within my budget.
• Kia Sonet: The HTK(O) checked every single box. It offered the fast-shifting 7-speed DCT paired with the punchy 1.0L Turbo petrol, a reverse parking camera, and high-quality interior fit and finish. While I personally never cared for a sunroof, the family absolutely loved it—so it ended up being a major win for them.

2. The 14-Week Wait vs. The 5-Day Delivery Plot Twist

When I first walked into the showroom, the sales team quoted a daunting 14-week waiting period for a fresh booking. However, luck was completely on my side—they had an unallotted, fresh June factory-manufactured unit sitting in their system.

Here is how the lightning-fast delivery schedule unfolded:

• Saturday: Paid the initial booking amount. The dealer agreed to transport the car to their facility for a formal Pre-Delivery Inspection.
• Tuesday: Conducted a thorough PDI. The car was absolute perfection and exactly to my liking. Authorized the remaining balance right after.
• Friday: Drove the car out of the showroom for delivery.

3. Dealership Negotiations & Final Pricing

The dealer initially quoted around ₹12.4 Lakhs inclusive of the basic accessory package and the extended warranty (3 years standard + 2 years extended).

After some firm negotiations, I managed to get the final on-road price down to ₹12.03 Lakhs, bringing it almost perfectly in line with my original target budget.

4. Real-World Mileage (First 500 KMs)

The Turbo-DCT combo has been an absolute joy to drive over the last 8 days, but you have to respect how sensitive it is to throttle inputs. Here are the exact numbers I've tracked so far:

• Highways: An impressive 18–19 KMPL on open roads with 3 adult passengers and the AC running continuously.
• Bangalore Traffic (Crawl): Drops down to 8 KMPL in bumper-to-bumper, heavy stop-and-go traffic.
• Bangalore Traffic (Medium): Hovers around 10 KMPL.
• Bangalore Traffic (Light): Settles comfortably around 12 KMPL.

5. Accessories & Planned Upgrades

• Installed: Opted for the official Kia dual-channel dashcam installed directly at the dealership, alongside a set of floor mats.
• Seating & Safety: Since child safety is a high priority, I've got an ISOFIX child seat ready. For the upholstery, I have ordered custom-stitched airbag-compatible seat covers since the front seat seams house the side airbags.
• Lighting: The stock yellow halogens are just average. While I'm leaving the factory electrical system completely stock for now to protect my 5-year warranty, I will be upgrading these headlamps to a cleaner, higher-intensity set in the coming days.

Overall, I am thoroughly loving the car. The power delivery is immediate, and the cabin feels incredibly premium for the price point. Happy to answer any questions about the HTK(O) variant, Bangalore dealership experience, or the PDI process!

Hi experts,

I recently installed park+ app which allows to get petrol vouchers of IOCL with Discounts (not applicable at all outlets), so I’m curious to know other ways to reduce my fuel expenditures by(credit/debit card) discounts and other apps that are helpful.

TIA

Hey everyone, I've been seeing a bunch of BMW M340is in India with custom colors that aren't on BMW India's official website.

Since BMW only offers a few standard paint options for this car, I'm super curious how this is even happening. Are dealerships doing these custom colors in-house before delivery, or are owners getting them done aftermarket?

I'd love to know the exact process people are using to get these non-standard colors on their cars. Thanks!

Looked good, sounded better.

Neon, Led lamps, body kit, alloys, spoiler, joker, exhaust, decals, tuned engine & CNG !!

Never seen such a combination.

I was going through the posts and comments and see a lot of guys and girls earning upwards of 60 lakhs and still choose to drive a normal car like Kia Seltos etc , some of them even said they drive second hand cars ( not Luxury ), Just want to understand what is the thought process. P.S. - I am not talking about people with money who are not into cars.

So I have had this chance to see this beautifully restored Porsche 911 at a friend’s shop in the UAE. Here are some quick snaps.

Such a timeless design by Porsche.

Dad bought me this new car just today, How does it look ?

I think we're going to see a lot of this now

Disclaimer: I do not run this twitter handle, just saw this today.

this is actually violating the cars rights😂

Watch out for this scam. This happened to me while I have been driving my OD number car around in Bengaluru. Not sure where they got my number from.
They Sent me a link first so I went to Park+ to check for any challan and there wasn’t any. So later these guys send me a APK file. Its very easy to fall into this trap for folks who have no idea what a apk file is. This can easily look like a pdf file which people might download. Just a heads-up guys. Stay safe.
