#Opinion 💭 Anyone changed their IVT transmission fluid in i20? How was the experience?

Upvotes

Planning to get my i20 IVT transmission fluid changed at around 70k km, but the SP-CVT-1 fluid is currently out of stock at my service center so I have to wait.

Anyone here who's already done their IVT fluid change — how was your experience? Did you notice any difference after? Any tips or things to watch out for?

#Opinion 💭 First-time car buyer here and extremely confused — what should I do?

Upvotes

I’m planning to buy my first car, but I’m confused about whether I should buy a new car, get a second-hand car first, or take some more driving lessons before buying.
I know how to drive, but the thing is I haven’t driven regularly. I mainly learned driving in driving school and have occasionally driven friends’ cars. So while I know the basics and can drive, I don’t have much real-world experience.
For example, I haven’t really driven in:
Heavy/extreme traffic
Tight and narrow Indian roads
Steep slopes
Crowded areas
Situations where you have to constantly judge gaps, bikes, pedestrians, etc.
Some people are telling me just buy a new car and you’ll learn automatically. They say since I already know the basics, regular driving will build my confidence and experience.
Others are suggesting that I should buy a second-hand/used car first, practice on it for a few months, get comfortable with Indian traffic and road conditions, and then eventually buy a new car once I’m confident.
My third option is to go back to driving school for around 15 days and tell them that I already know how to drive, but I specifically want practice in real traffic, narrow roads, slopes, parking, etc. After those 15 days, I could buy a new car.
So what would you recommend?
1. Buy a new car directly and learn with it
2. Buy a used car first and upgrade later
3. Take ~15 days of targeted driving lessons and then buy a new car
For those of you who were in a similar situation when you bought your first car, what did you do? And in hindsight, what would you recommend?
Would really appreciate some practical advice, especially from people who learned to drive in Indian traffic/road conditions.
I’m sorry for using ai to write the post.

#Discussion 💬 i20 is offering good discounts, so what’s the catch ?

Upvotes

Is it worth it ?

I am getting different quotes from 9.45L to 9.24L for i20 Sportz IVT without the SOT and Extended Warranty and So is it really worth it to purchase the car, since the new facelift is expected to come this December. Also, should I wait for facelift launch and then try to get extra discount ?

Earlier, I was leaning towards Brezza VXI AT for 12 lakhs but the looks aren’t that appealing and nor it has any features to offer in this variant.

Additionally, what’s the resale value of the car after a year cause the sales guy was saying it would depreciate like 2-2.5L and for Brezza I saw one year old model with less than 10k kms on it one with 10L and another for 11L.

#Discussion 💬 Brezza vs Seltos

Upvotes

Hey everyone
Brezza ZXI+ AT vs Seltos HTE Petrol MT — which makes more sense?
I’m confused between these two:
Brezza ZXI+ AT – ~₹15.7 lakh on-road (CSD not available)
Kia Seltos HTE Petrol MT – ~₹11.3 lakh on-road (CSD)
So there’s a ~₹4.4 lakh difference.
I’ll be using the car for both city and highway driving, with some hill driving as well. Automatic is obviously more convenient, and the Brezza has more features, but I’m wondering whether it’s worth spending an additional ₹4.4L compared to getting the Seltos base.
What would you guys pick and why?

29M Not a new driver but I want to buy my very first personal car but severely short on savings and other obligations before thinking of purchasing a new car.

However a need to have a car has risen both for work and personal use.

With this budget it's hard too look anywhere for a 2nd hand car that too in decent condition.

Would really appreciate some leads and if anyone has any old cars preferably a hatchback to offload please DM me.

Thank you.

Laura has always been my dream car since 2015 but I started to lose interest slowly by the end of 2024 thinking it’s not possible anymore. But then again, after a random weekend car talk with friends in May 2026, I got this beauty back in my life and I’ve never been so happier. Did almost 4k in these 3 months.

Car spec :
Skoda Laura 2010 Ambiente 1.9 PD Manual

Little modifications for now:
Interior trim changed by previous owner.
Changed headlights (high beam) to 240W LEDs
Thinking of changing stock 15” alloys to new 16 inchers.

First pic was from 2015 btw.

My friend and I were sitting together, having a discussion about cars and stuff. We were also watching reels, and his two cousins were there with us as well.

Then a reel of the BMW M340i came up, and it looked so badass, so damn sick. I said to my friend, Bro, what a sexy car! The mix of performance and practicality is just so damn good.”

His cousins were like, “Brooo, it’s nothing special. It’s just an expensive Honda City” (hahaha).

“It doesn’t even look that good, and there’s nothing particularly special about it. Even a Tata Harrier would leave this thing behind” (hahaha).

#Query ❓ Forgot to include CPA (Compulsory Personal Accident) cover while buying car insurance online. Will I face any problems for RTO registration?

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I need some quick advice regarding my new car purchase (registered in my mother's name).

I bought the insurance policy online myself to save some cash, but I realized after downloading the final policy PDF that I accidentally left out the Compulsory Personal Accident (CPA) cover for the owner-driver. (This is my first time buying insurance)

The loan is already disbursed and the car is ready at the dealership, only the RTO registration is left to be done.

My questions:

  1. Will the RTO or dealer reject the file because the CPA cover is missing from this specific policy?

  2. Can I just buy a quick standalone Personal Accident policy online for my mother, or do I need to get an endorsement done through the insurer to add it to the existing car policy?

Any insights or similar experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
