The scooter that has all you need and MORE !!

Before reading this review, please be advised that I am a self-proclaimed car enthusiast and consider two wheelers as a very unsafe mode of transportation in urban India, with ever growing number of vehicles flooding our roads. Why am I writing about a two wheeler then? And how did I even sta...Read more

@dunagaraj, great point on the 'screen blowing up' issue; My phone went into that mode once again coincidentally today and I tried the workaround you had suggested. Unfortunately that dint work - I was referring to the issue in a stage when the phone is already in screenlock mode and not in unlocked... mode.Read More

Let’s face it; Samsung rules the mobile world today – at least that’s what the sales volumes say. Should a smartphone buyer go with the crowd and buy a Samsung Smartphone with an Android OS or should other options in the market be explored? Those who chose option 1 are surely missing a nicety...Read more

thanks @countme91 for your comments. You have shared almost similar views I have about this car and I am glad that we agree :) . Santro Xing is easily one of the best cars that has run on Indian roads.

Why I chose Ford Figo over the rest in the market
Ford Figo

Thanks @pam53 for your comments. One important point that i wanted to mention in my review - ALWAYS buy a car with FULL SAFETY FEATURES like ABS and AIRBAGS only! I made a mistake by choosing ZXI version in Figo over Titanium version for saving a couple of ten thousands. Dont do this. When one can s...pend in lakhs over a car they could as well afford a few more thousands to buy the car with utmost safety features. This is my sincere advice/request for future car buyers. I have personally vowed that when I buy my next car, it must have ABS and AIRBAGS..Read More

Ford Figo

I guess I agree completely with @countme91 comments. Figo's TDCI is not as revv happy as the 1.3MJD from Fiat. Since I am a sedate driver i dint see it a show stopper since there are plenty of other things in Figo that I LOVE and at that price point, Figo offers such a good value proposition which i...s hard to resist. @maaz_navaaz and @naveensri, thanks for letting me know about ROD.. It has been quite while since I have been active in MS. I shall try to contribute my best to this forum..Read More

Why I chose Ford Figo over the rest in the market

The Indian car market is flooded with plenty of makes and models in all segments and consumers are literally spoilt for choices - this is a cliche AND it is hard to say if this is a boon or a bane. They say "Ignorance is bliss" and an average buyer would ask a few questions like "1.What's the...Read more

Santro Xing-A reliable CITY car
Hyundai Santro Xing eRLX

Hi Blue hat.. Your review is very crisp and to the point.And your claim on mileage if right - I get 12 in city with AC and 13 w/o AC. On highways I get 17kmpl and I drive at 100+ most of the time. Some ppl try to bloat up fuel efficiency figues when they write a review on their cars which may mislea...d people. Your review is plain and simple. Thanks !Read More

Tips on Turbochargers

I have read many write ups on about Turbo charges; this one was very easy to read and comprehend and also explained pretty well the working principle of Petrol and Diesel engines from basics which was very helpful. You will make a very good teacher !! Would like to see more of Tech revus from u !! M...ickDoohan disagrees with you on some points. Ok to have some contradictions - But he couldve been courteous doing that. pls check that update your write up too.Read More

Wonderful review of this car. Gives a very positive impression of this car. Review is informative, nice to read ( the way it is written ). Good one !! I think this will really help people to decide on their car purchase if they are contemplating on an Indica. But I felt it was chauvinism when you sa...id Indica looks good. I am sure they are better looking cars in the market in this segment :-)Read More

now thats really disappointing.. The engine sound is almost nil and the AC blower spoils it all.. I really wish GM takes all this feedback and does something about this. When competition in this segment is so high, they cannot miss on such trivial aspects
