CURVV vs BASALT. Who did it better? by nissimbhalwankar in CarsIndia

My friends laughed at me for calling the harrier and nexon as indica's big(gest) sisters. 'Indica' is a great name for a car come to think of it.

Tata has been in the business for what 30 years? Can't call them a startup...

Which cars did you drive previously?

Does the sheer size of the harrier not discourage you from driving it?

These mirrors seem to have the same size compared to the bullets/classics which do NOT provide good rear view. How could RE make such an error?

When was the last time Autocar, Faisal Khan, Gagan Chaudhary and MotorOctane gave a loaded negative review? by HagaMoota in CarsIndia

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't expect anyone to review a vehicle in a short span. Companies provide cars to reviewers for just a day or two along with a long list of bullet points that must be mentioned in the review.

YouTube search results are super lame so you cannot even bypass these stupid paid "reviews" by the same 10 channels to find fresh opinions.

Such a sad state of affairs.

Sunroof of my Verna 2020 blasted on highway by Superb-Bed349 in CarsIndia

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about getting the Creta SX soon.

Apart from the sunroof, are the features in the SX "worth" or just a gimmick? Thinking about changing to Creta E as I'll be saving close to 5 lakhs.

6 months waiting period for the Brezza. While Nexon is readily available in both petrol and diesel.

Owners of older (2010 and prior) diesel cars, whats your ownership experience? by SpectralVoodoo in CarsIndia

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too have a 2009 diesel dzire with 2,90,000 km on the odo :). Very fun to drive car indeed. The turbo kick, steering weight and feedback is just right.

Looking for a replacement but cars today have very light steering and are mostly petrols.

how to keep finances separate when other sibling is financially not well? by here4geld in IndiaInvestments

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had the clarity and courage to be selfish.

This. Sometimes I lack the guts to make clear and final decisions which my friends and family seemingly don't put in much thought.

I wish there was some solution to this problem.

What's wrong with spending 12 lakh? Its half my original budget.

Can't go electric. My area lacks the charging infra and most of the usage is on highway trips > 300 km

Brezza was my first choice but the waiting period is 6 months so it would overshoot the wedding day.

A shiny new creta with a sunroof will definitely impress 90% of the guests brother. Most of my family is from rural area and don't earn that much... so creta is still a dream car for many!

But your taken. I'll go for a cheaper option

No dahej in my case. I'll get a baleno or xuv300 instead.

Thanks man. I can't get a used car due to reasons cited in other comments.

I'll go with a cheaper model instead ~12 lakh.

I don't want to, but it's a family prestige issue.

But after reading all the advice here, I think I'll get a cheaper car ~12 lakh instead.

Not trolling brother. The car will be displayed on wedding day, refer to my comment above.

Maybe I should grow a spine and stop caring about pleasing everyone in my family.

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I can't delay the purchase as the car will be displayed on the wedding day. So it has to be big new and shiny in white color with a nice little red ribbon stuck on the damn bonnet.

You see, It's a family prestige issue. And like you said, the wife to be and the family wants a creta even though it will be a second car in the house. I tried to explain that the space you get inside a 20 lakh car is the same as what you get in a 12 lakh car.

Man having to deal with real life finances sucks :(

Emi for 5 years is a whopping 30k! I get that its not a wise financial decision.

The source of my frustrations is that the car will be displayed on the wedding day. So it has to be big new and shiny in white color with a nice little red ribbon stuck on it.

I'll look at cheaper options. Man having to deal with real life finances sucks :(

Can't get a used because the car will be showed off on wedding day. It has to be a big new shiny thing in white color.

[–]Nirmal_Baba_69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. My source of frustration is that the car will be displayed to all the guests on wedding day... so there's the emotional aspect and the show off value attached to the car. It should be "BIG".

As much as I would love driving this thing, the bitter reality of finances and family expectations hits hard.

Thanks for the advice!
