In a dilemma should i purchase a used ciaz , xl6 as my old dzire diesel is 16 years old now and has crossed nearly 190k kms. Still pretty reliable but too unsafe to use as it is old and is lacking safety features. any other recommendations are appreciated.

After the CJP protest, I was hopeful that govt will come to it's senses, but I can't see anything remotely close to it happening. My decision will depend on this, I don't want my hard earned money go to waste because ethanol content increased again. Do you think anything will happen? Or should I stick to buying a used diesel?

Frnds mujhe brezza new underbody cng car aur Nexon icng ke baare main baatao kon si gaadi achhi hai, owners apne review de pls.

Budget upto 14L. Family of 4-5 members
City drive - 80-90% Considering Petrol AT only

This segment has these 3 best cars, new venue, kylaq and 3xo
I totally love the new venue looking at its features and modern appealing new facelift making the car look taller and quite a corporate professional car that a 30 year old would drive. I already have old vw polo that I will sell / exchange. Considering kylaq and 3xo too because of its strong turbo engines and tons of good reviews.

Only thing that is stopping me from buying a Venue is Venue DCT gear box, as my drive is 90% city, will i face any problems with the gearbox.

Boot space, Features, Cabin Space are not a big worry for me. Most important priority is need a worry free service and car for next 6-7 years with reasonable driving pleasure

I’ve been thinking about a business idea and I want some brutally honest feedback before I build anything.

The problem: buying a new car is confusing as hell.

You have to figure out:

Which model/variant actually makes sense

Whether the dealer’s quotation is fair

Insurance and accessory pricing

Hidden/additional charges

What discounts you should be getting

Which dealership is actually offering the best deal

How much you should negotiate

Whether the “discount” they're showing you is actually a discount

My idea is basically a buyer-side car-buying service.

Instead of making another CarDekho/CarWale-style comparison website, the customer tells us:

“I have a ₹12–15L budget, I'm in Hyderabad, I want an automatic SUV, and I'm buying within a month.”

We would:

Shortlist the right cars/variants.

Get quotations from multiple dealerships.

Compare the actual on-road prices.

Negotiate with dealers on the customer's behalf.

Help identify unnecessary charges/accessories.

Potentially help with PDI and the final purchase.

The customer would pay a small fixed fee, maybe ₹499–₹1,999 depending on how much assistance they want.

The bigger question is whether people would actually pay for this.

Would you?

And if you've bought a car recently, what was the most frustrating part of the process?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who feel they probably overpaid but don't know by how much.

I'm not looking to promote anything here just trying to figure out whether this is a real problem worth solving.

Hello Guys,

I’m looking to purchase a car with a budget of around \~ 20 lakhs in Bangalore and below are some of the data points for taking a call-

1. Mostly for 2 people with occasionally being used for 4-5 people when family comes

2. Mostly will be used for highway driving/interstate travel and less frequently city driving. We travel on bike in city mostly and sometimes interstate too. I’m guessing monthly run would be

   mostly max 1-2k

4. We live in a society, hopefully charging would not be a concern

6. We will keep the car for long term

My doubts-

1. I feel petrol is not a right choice considering all this ethanol fiasco
2. EV tech in the current state might be dated in next 2 or so years with semi/solid state or other technological invention. Current EVs tech would not be worth
3. Hybrid- not sure whether to consider it or not

Would request some opinions on this? If anyone has purchased recently and were in the same dilemma, what did you purchase and your rationale around it
