Hey everybody, got a chance to drive a friends 110 cc aviator today, as my palio has gone for servicing. I was pleasantly surprised at the great ride quality and the reasonable handling, almost like a motorcycle( I normally drive a honda shine, and have owned pulsar, cd100, splendor, kb 100, sam...Read more

Middle class MUV for the the new decade
Maruti Eeco

HI WISH U, you could convert a 5 seater, however, you could get into legal trouble with the police and the insurance people, it would be technically be illegal to have more than the permitted no. of passengers. LPG should be OK i guess. Again a word of caution. Some engines / models such as Ford iko...n / palio do not take to LPG easily and have overheating problems, though maruti never had such issues, you may verify informally with maruti technicians as the fuel injectors and sensors have to be able to cope. it may also void your warranty. ride on.Read More

Maroon in color, it was the cynosure of all eyes even in an upmarket college like Loyola, as back then it was public transport or the good old cycle for most blokes. The bike it...Read more

Middle class MUV for the the new decade

gssmani, the bonnet only contains the jack, fluids such as the coolant and other minor knicknacks, someone infact fitted after market boxes to keep small goods! It appears the bonnet is only to offer crush space as per safety norms. quite practical in fact.

Every one in India will remember their first view of the Maruti 800, I still remember seeing the ss80 model in 1984 at Choolaimedu in Chennai and being astounded when I was 17 years old!

hi prad, the eeco does not have power steering on any of the models and does not even have power windows or music system. It is absolutely bare basic and spartan, meant for the stoic ascetics among us!

I just got a chance to test ride the new Maruti Eeco today at Khivraj motors, chennai. The car feels very good, though not as classy as the earlier Versa which I have driven earlier. The main differences between the present eeco and the earlier versa are that the engine has been changed to a ...Read more

Shine doesn't shine
Honda Shine 125

i have a shine for about 4 years now, 26000 kms, and had the vibration problem for about 10000 kms. you have to be careful about the petrol pump and it is advisable to ride the bike at high revs to avoid vibration. The irony of this bike is the more you abuse it, the smoother it is. it appears to be... a problem with the multi-map ignition timing or something, when used gently it vibrates you vital organs irritably and when wrung hard, it gets smooth!Read More
