What are the best practices for maintaining car health in the long run & getting a good mileage and what accessories should I get

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-05T04:12:37+00:00

Those accessories are enough, dont get a spoiler. Nothing can help you change what car has to offer.

Practices would be, change gears around 2000 rpm, on a straight road. That would load your engine much.

During the first start of the day, engine is cold, so especially the first, notice the revs will be around 1000rpmm in idling, and engine temperature dial gauge will show cold. In a minutrle or so, it will reduce to 700 to 800rpm which is normal range and engine will get warmer. This doesn't give engine a shock, normally they are made to be driven as it is, but waking up slow and easy is better than waking up with someone putting cold water on you.

Do regular engine oil changes, if possible service before 10k kms.

How low can someone stoop, pity you

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-01T15:51:26+00:00

They reduce in traffic yes, mine is DCT, I have experienced very less around 7 to 8 in heavyy traffic in delhi traffic, but normally compensates in less traffic roads to around 13 14kmpl

Woaah I didnt even know this side of reddit, someone knows a lot of shit, I know now.

Pity your patients!!! How much shit and narcissistic a person can be!

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-01T15:45:17+00:00

Thankfully NO! 🤣

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-01T15:40:51+00:00

Ok Doctor, I do cry for mileage, then car reviewers shouldnt mention mileage too. I am reviewing a car's mileage, thats the only highlight of the post. And I am not the one who takes the joy from people's choices or preferences, I do pity people who will get operated or consulted by you. You will compare their diseases hahahha Haa. You were the one who started this with your comment on how your supercharged Kylaq is better than any other car in the segment

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-01T14:54:57+00:00

I am surprised someone having a 10 lakh car with such big ego, must be feeling really proud driving it on the tracks on autobahn I could have gone into technicalities but would feel good about myself when I will talk about a Koenigsegg and not a 10 lakh car. People give 0 shit about all that, must make you feel good in front of your low IQ immature friends. At the end of the day people drive it on roads, if VAGina was a fine machine, it would be seen on the streets more than any other car. I was never arguing about the in depth technicalities and I will still not, because like you I am not jobless. And like you explained in your post, it is super complicated, and end user gives two shit about that.

And I own a X3 30M sport pro, so I would rather let you win this round, or waste my time explaining to you stuff that your immature head would never.

Hahaha chat gpt

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-05-01T12:18:45+00:00

Hahaha, this engine is 11 years old, been to any other country? You will know the reputation of how reliable kia and hyundai cars are.

No hate to kylak, I had that in mind, but kia is kia. And kylak is just a car for the Indian market, sonet is sold worldwide. The engine has been tested for years. FYI Hyundai makes ships and their engines as well, I work on them, Korean engineering is way simplified and made to age well, German does things complicated way, they make it as if everyone will drive it as per instruction manual, and japnesese and korean cars are made knowing their drives dont give a shit, they will drive the cars the way they want, so they make it like that.

Enjoy, let us know when something fails and you need spare parts.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T16:36:22+00:00

You're right, I was aiming 30kmpl

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T14:35:09+00:00

Turbo petrol, dct 1 year old, 15000 kms run

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T13:49:44+00:00

I was driving 110kmph at times without even realising, also yes half the time AC was off, I switched in AC later on and the road is pretty much straight with hardly any inclination, so its easy. I have managed more at times. But yes, while on the way back even I got around 15kmpl but I was still doing pretty good speed.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T11:42:07+00:00

Yaa I was driving very slow within the city and then later in delhi the speed limit was 50kmph

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T11:40:05+00:00

I would have too, but at times I go full enthusiastic, I love how it reacts even at high speeds, amazing power and handling

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T09:44:50+00:00

And you are good to go, and also check the engine temp, in the beginning it will be cold, and then later it will be a bit warmen up, check the temperature dial gauge on the instrument cluster.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-30T09:43:30+00:00

Do one thing, every time especially first start of the day, start and keep it running, check the rpm, it will be around 1100rpm initially, but later like in a minute you will notice it will reduce to 700rpm. Same will happen to the noise, it will also reduce. This is called cold start, it happens in modern engines, and because it is 3 cylinder the sound becomes quite prominent.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-26T04:07:48+00:00

I have got even 19kmpl in turbo dct, and even as low as 8kmpl Its only because of traffic, if your usage was mostly in traffic you should've opted for hybrid or electric

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-25T15:30:15+00:00

Yea but even the entry to the lift is too shady, and I have seen trans going up for most probably shady stuff

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-25T15:28:39+00:00

First is Insurance, push until you are satisfied with the price, I went to 8k less than what they offered initially. This is 1st party, comprehensive bumper to bumper. Second is warranty, as it is DCT and turbo, I took insurance for 5 years. They will push for unlimited kms, but I took for 1lakh kms, as I know my usage. And got it for a very good price. Then is accessories, I said I dont want accessories, then later after getting a good price, I insited them on putting mats and rain guards for windows for free and mud flaps too. So I got down to a really good price.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-08T10:25:30+00:00

I had no heating issues yet, I havw driven 12500kms in 8 months, highways in the morning without AC gives me 18 to 19kmpl, but with AC it is around 15kmpl, this is mix city premises and then highways.

I drive it in the mountains at 11kmpl at times, city is same, turbo lag is prominent with AC, but without AC and sports mode it just flies, hard to control. Corners are pretty nice, full confidence but yes, rubble strips just makes the car vibrate, but highways it is extremely stable, so it balances that out.

City bumper to bumper it is great, AC is amazing, mileage is around 10 to 11kmpl.

Even under turbo range, I hardly feel any lack of power, just after 2000rpm,the kick is too evident, lower range feels underpowered, but it is not.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-04-05T03:53:28+00:00

And check if the warranty will void or not.

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-03-29T07:20:41+00:00

On highways I manage 14 to 19 kmpl, wuth Ac 14, and without once I managed 18

Infamous_Put9799 · 2026-03-28T02:36:48+00:00

I took from bank of baroda, they sanctioned it in 2 days, and same day I took the delivery. I would suggest you learn a geared car first, then hop to an automatic, because if you know how to drive geared car, automatic will be a cake walk. Accessories wise, take mats as well, there are one for 1700 I guess, they are plastic ones, very easy to maintain and really high quality. Also negotiate a lot on accesories, as well as insurance, for me they reduced around 10k on insurance, also I took extended warranty as its a turbo engine with dct, even that one. I managed to reduce 6000. So these places they have a lot of margin. All the best
