Ford was one of the most loved enthusiast brands in India. Not only did they appeal to the enthusiasts, but they became value for money as well, changing their perception from being a brand which had very high maintenance to a brand which offered very affordable and one of the best services in the Indian market. All of it changed in 2021 when Ford decided to leave India owing to heavy losses. All of their cars were discontinued, and some of the most fun to drive and capable vehicles were not on sale anymore. Here are 5 Ford cars that we miss in India. The Ford Fiesta was sold in India in only a sedan form, but it was one of the best driver 's car in the segment. The original Fiesta was quite popular, and it even had a very sporty S version. It was launched with both petrol and diesel engines, the latter of which was extremely efficient. The facelift came with all the tech, but unfortunately, it could not take on the market like the first-generation car. It too came with...
Car buyers are now very well informed about safety and it is one of the most important aspects of any car buying decision in modern times, especially for families. There are a lot of cars which come equipped with most safety features as standard now but some safety features are still available in some cars. Even though the focus has shifted towards safety, there are a few things that manufacturers leave due to cost-cutting. Here are 5 safety features that you need in your car. The Electronic Stability Program or ESC, is a vital safety feature that all modern cars should have. It comes into action if the car detects that it is going out of control, and it will try to cut power to bring the car in control. This works by the car electronics applying brakes and controlling the engine torque whenever they detect that the car is not going on its intended path. It helps you gain back control when the drive has erratic inputs and go off the road. Many cars come with an electronic...
Manufacturers have started adding more and more features to cars. This is because they want to be ahead of the competition on paper, but this has led to manufacturers putting a lot of useless features in their cars as well. With cars being loaded with more and more tech, the addition of useless gimmicks are prevailing over practical features, which is a matter of concern. Here are 5 useless features in cars that are extremely annoying. Whoever had the idea to implement touch-sensitive controls in cars has saved manufacturers a lot of money because they now don’t have to invest in making individual buttons. They are never accurate and are especially hard to use while driving. They are mostly flush with the panel and tough to differentiate from one another. The touch-sensitive controls are hard to use, and many manufacturers have even admitted that they are worse in terms of usability. With screens becoming larger and larger, manufacturers have been cramming all sorts of controls...
The Renault Duster was launched in India back 2012. It was an instant hit and garnered lakhs of customers by the end of its production run in India. It was a barebones vehicle in all honesty, but the Duster always did the basics right. The demise of the Duster was really sad but the vehicle did not receive any updates over the years and India had to do with the same old 1st generation of the vehicle while the rest of the world got updated models with better features and newer designs. The demise of the Duster was no one’s fault but Renault’s own. The used market is a magical place, though, and there are a lot of Dusters on sale. Here is a buying guide for the Renault Duster. Renault Duster Generation 1 (2012-2022) The Renault Duster was a very popular model in India once but it was discontinued eventually due to poor sales but there are plenty of them for sale in India. Here is a buying guide for the Renault Duster. The Renault Duster only ever got one generation in the Indian...
Project cars are what keep enthusiasts going, and there are a few cool Project cars in the Indian market that make a lot of sense to buy used. Tampering with a brand-new car is quite nerve-racking, which is why we always tend to lean towards pre-owned examples of tuner cars when someone is looking for a project car. While working on cars is an extremely expensive hobby in India, there are still quite a few deals to be had in the project car space. Here are 5 used enthusiast cars that are great project cars. We have combined a list which comprises both cars in the upper range of the price range and also more affordable ones. The Volkswagen Polo was on sale in India for nearly a decade, and during this decade, it did not see much change. There were, however, a lot of drivetrain options and a cult like following with enthusiasts. The Polo has long dominated the motorsport industry of India as well. Both diesel and turbo petrol options were available for the Polo, but we like the...
If you like adventure and venturing out to new places, you probably require a vehicle with 4x4 but there are a lot of technical details to look out for when you are considering a 4x4 vehicle. There are multiple terms and things that might get a little confusing for people. There are a lot of things to keep in mind and choose a vehicle with the right set of features. 4x4 vehicles have also gotten quite advanced which make things even more complicated but in reality they ease your time on the trail and when the going gets tough. Here are all the 4x4 terms explained: 4x4 or 4wd equipped vehicles can send power to all four wheels of the vehicle. This is helpful in low-grip situations like off-roading or driving on the snow. Most vehicles which are equipped with 4x4 systems are large SUVs but there are a few exceptions as well. Now there are a couple of types of 4x4 systems available as well. When talking about a 4x4 system here we are not referring to AWD (all-wheel-drive) vehicles...
All wheel drive is a feature which is rarely available in India but it is something that is useful in tricky situations while making the vehicle a little more capable. AWD is popular in countries with a lot of snow as it ensures more grip on the vehicle on slippery surfaces. While not as capable as 4x4 system, there are different ways to employ an AWD system. Some cars use physical clutches while others use the braking system and traction control to manipulate which wheel gets the power. Here are 5 AWD cars for sale in India which are highly capable. Jeep is synonymous with off-roaders and even their most affordable offering, the Compass, comes with a pretty capable AWD system. The Compass comes with a 2.0L diesel engine, and the AWD versions are only available with the 9-speed automatic transmission. There are various traction modes as well and it is pretty capable. Earlier, there was an even more extreme Trailhawk version available as well but that got discontinued pretty...
The Mahindra Thar has been one of the most popular off-road vehicles in the country and with the introduction of the new generation Thar in 2020, it has become extremely desirable. The Thar is not only a favourite of off-road enthusiasts but it also is a hit between people who want a big burly SUV. With the introduction of the Thar ROXX, the prices of the 3-door Thar have come down quite a bit and there are some amazing deals in the market. Since these cars were sold in good numbers, there are quite a lot of options too. Here is a used car buying guide for the Thar. We will only be talking about the Thar models and not the previous jeep models that Mahindra introduced which the Thar succeeded. The first generation of the Thar was launched back in 2010. It was an experience to say the least but it was a simple vehicle which harked back to the origins of Mahindra Jeeps. The first generation of the Thar was a bare bones vehicle which only had one and only one purpose and it was to...
Indians have always been known to love practicality, however, they never warmed up to the idea of a station wagon/estate car. They were the ultimate in terms of offering space and practicality, yet the image of having a station wagon was one which could not be fathomed by us. One of the reasons for this was that sedans were considered top-tier luxury but the station wagons costed a lot more. There were a few tries from manufacturers, and many sold them in some or the other form but sadly, they never picked up. Station wagons are non-existent now and everyone has moved on to SUVs which are essentially wagons. We have combined a list of all the iconic station wagons of India here: Skoda came up with the Octavia Combi for the first generation of the Octavia in India. It came in both diesel and the hot vRS forms and it looked very classy. The car was very expensive and incredibly rare. There are not many of them to start with and finding a good condition car in India is very hard. The...
The Skoda Octavia vRS has been for long, one of the best enthusiast cars in India. It provided incredible value and performance and the tuning scene was immense as well. Skoda sold three generations of the Octavia vRS in India and with rumours suggesting that a new one is right here, it might just be the right time to get a pre-owned one. One needs to be careful in what they are getting into. While these vehicles are pretty robust in stock form, there were a lot of cars which were modified and have been abused throughout their life. It is incredibly rare to find a stock Octavia vRS but there are some tastefully done-up cars which are worth taking a look at. The first generation of the Octavia vRS was loved by many. It had clean lines and it came with a 1.8L turbocharged engine which had 150 bhp. This was running a lower tune than the international models but it was still plentiful for Indian roads. The first-generation car did have a lot of issues especially when they were not...
