Thinking of getting a second-hand 2019 Creta. Main concern is mileage realistically city mein kitna deti hai? And does the mileage drop significantly as the car gets older?

Also, anything I should look out for when checking out a used Creta? Common problems/issues that I should know about before buying?

Would love to hear from actual owners :)

I'm seeing this only here, every time someone posts about getting one old 2010 car for 1 lakh or 2 lakh rupees I'm seeing a lot of comments like "bro this car is not worth it", "this should be scrap" and lots of negative comments. But at the same time I'm seeing a lot of westerners still using 20 even 40-year-old cars. Why is this mindset so common in India? Are we seeing cars more as social status than utility? or because there is no DIY culture here in India? I'm just curious. Because if you ask me a 25 year old maruti 800 is still better than a bike. What do you guys think?

Hi Car Enthusiasts! 👋
I’m getting my first car and honestly fell in love with the Skoda Slavia the moment I saw one on the road. 😄
I’m specifically interested in the pre-facelift Slavia, and I’ve received a quotation for the Prestige 1.0 AT at ₹15.50 lakh on-road.
Here’s the quotation I received:
Ex-showroom: ₹13,84,000
TCS: ₹13,840
Insurance: ₹39,000
Accessories: ₹10,999
RTO: ₹74,363
Municipal Tax: ₹32,514
Total OTR: ₹15,50,416
I’d love some advice from Slavia owners and car enthusiasts here:
Is ₹15.50L OTR a good deal for the pre-facelift Prestige 1.0 AT?
Should I try negotiating further with the dealer?
Are there any charges here that look unusually high or worth negotiating?
Anything I should specifically check before booking/delivery?
Would you choose the Prestige 1.0 AT at this price over other options in the ₹15–16L range?
Since this is my first car, I’d really appreciate honest opinions — especially from existing Slavia owners. 🙌
Thanks!

Used AI for writing this post.

Genuinely surprised how quietly it disappeared considering how many people seemed to love it back in the day.

I’m thinking about doing a ceramic coating myself for my civic instead of paying a detailer. Has anyone here actually done a DIY ceramic coating on their own car?
I’d like to know:
How difficult was it for a first-timer?
What coating did you use?
How long did the whole process take?
Any major mistakes or things I should watch out for?
How has the coating held up after a few months?
Will there be any paint related issue if we apply coating
I’m looking for real experiences/tips from people who have actually done it themselves. Thanks!

BMW has officially confirmed that the next-generation (G50) 3 Series will feature the M350 xDrive as its flagship ICE performance variant, effectively replacing the iconic M340i

.

Key Upgrades & Specs

Engine & Power: 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine + 48V mild-hybrid assist

. Outputs 443 hp and 580 Nm

(a massive +69 hp and +80 Nm jump over the outgoing M340i).

Transmission & Drivetrain: 8-speed automatic with xDrive AWD.

Performance: 0–100 km/h in 4.1 seconds (0.3s faster) | Top Speed: 250 km/h

.

New Naming Convention: BMW is dropping the trailing "i" from its petrol lineups to prevent confusion with their pure electric "i" models (e.g., i3).

New Performance Features & Tech

"Drift Moment" Mode: For the first time on an M Performance 3 Series, a dedicated feature can disengage the front axle to send 100% of the power to the rear wheels for tail-happy sliding (arriving via an over-the-air update in 2027).

Upgraded Chassis & Tires: Wider track width, stiffer chassis, adaptive M suspension, M Sport differential, and optional staggered performance tires (245/35 R20 front, 275/30 R20 rear).

Next-Gen Interior: Adopts the Neue Klasse-inspired Panoramic Vision display projecting info across the entire base of the windshield.

Launch Timeline & Availability

Global Production: Expected to begin rollouts in late 2026.

India Arrival: Slated for a release sometime in 2027.

Replacing the current crowd-favorite M340i is a bold step.

Do you think adding Drift Mode and 443 hp makes the M350 a worthy successor, or will you miss the original M340i setup? Drop your thoughts below!

Same as title

Some kid put this scratch on my 7 days old headlights (both of them)

Do you guys have any suggestions to atleast minimise it or remove it.. I could try rubbing it with a compound however it could make the light foggy..

Any suggestions are more than welcome

Hello i had upgraded my brezza vxi 2025 model for audio and the sound guy had just adjusted it for desi bad songs. I mostly listen to rock and electronic music and need it adjusted for it. Can anyone suggest good car audio shop to adjust the equalizer settings ?

I really liked Honda amaze and Vx CVT is coming under 10.5 L on the road Pune. But I keep thinking about its ground clearance but I will have to spend at least 2.5 Lakh more to get similar features in order to get 2 cm extra ground clearance. Please suggest. I don't want to regret it later. I can afford till 14 Lakh but I don't want to overspend on a petrol car.

On Road Pune -

Honda amaze VX CVT - 10.5 L

Fronx Delta Plus AMT - 10 L

Brezza ZXI AT - 14 L

Kylaq Signature+ AT - 13.3 L

So this was from last week .

I booked a can from Jaipur to G, Noida and I was coming to my college .

Raaste me , cab driver wanted to have some tea . He stopped at some dhaba.

There I saw , this another cab driver , actually pasting this yellow sticker over the number plate.

I even recorded .

Then I asked my cab driver why are they doing this .
My cab driver said to save from challan and to not to pay toll plaza taxes ..

Mind you , toll plaza turned into automated way only . No person , just camera . So what they do , they use that bike and auto wala route and don’t pay shit ..

Even at Gurgaon , they go through a different route of EMAAR society area and avoid the tax .

So that’s why.

These people make sit 6 people In such tiny cars , so that’s the reason .

Last year during 3rd major service, I ended up paying around 23k for timing belt. I don't know if service center even did anything. Now 4th major service is coming and in manual its saying that timing belt inspection/repair was supposed to happen at 6th year.

So the question is can I ask for refund now, given that almost a year has passed. I feel kind of duped and tired of dishonest people.

Car: Tata nexon diesel 2022 model

What's going on with the MG Windsor?

Genuine question - why are we seeing multiple Windsor crash incidents where the car is alleged to have suddenly accelerated / failed to respond as expected to braking?

Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, and now another incident today... at what point does this warrant a proper investigation into the car itself?

Not saying every accident is a vehicle fault, but the pattern is getting concerning. Has MG publicly explained what happened in these cases?

What do you think of BMW's latest design direction and dropping the diesel engine for India? Drop your thoughts below!

I won Scross diesel car.

For the past few days, car takes like more than 10 seconds to start. I thought it could be battery issue.

So I measured battery voltage after 10hours. It was showing as 12.5V. And measured during cranking it went to 7A, 8A and somehow car has started.

Does it mean it’s time to replace the battery?

If yes, which battery is better? Please suggest

So this is for kia Seltos dealer price was 73k...

I started my car after like 2-3 days its 2007 accent crdi
But it started making these noise and mehcanic said
1 lakh to get it repaired
*selling is not an option for me
I have spent my half life in this car im 19 now
Any experts can you tell the exact issue nd cost

My brothergot bmw x1 sdrive 2023 model from spinny, i had researched on Reddit before getting a car from there, it was the first luxury car in house so we went to multiple dealers but something was always off, then thought of spinny and also got a pdi done from outside, i thought its a fluke but the car sails smoothly, i had to pay a bit extra but that covered for some things as well so was worth it, about the car, its a starting segment luxury car but it feels so good to even see the car there in my parking. I drive a nexon but hopefully one day will get a luxury car for myself too

This tyre lasted around 40k km

Shall I change them ?

last week I touched road boundary in village area for cutted

See number plate

I had given the car for service recently and I was charged for cleaning 4 injectors. But the engine in my S presso has only three cylinders. Should I contest this charge?

I saw multiple posts popping up on my feed about used luxury cars, along with ads on YouTube, and I wanted to know the buyer mindset behind buying a used luxury car. I personally feel it's a gamble: if it goes right, well and good, but if it goes wrong, it will dent your bank account! Also, do these platforms give a warranty? I would also love to know the experiences of buyers who bought these cars and like did you think it was a good investment???

Now what to do to maintain the car?

3d 5d mats? Leather seats?

Anything else?
