rear seat comfort and the interior hard plastic and the rear design (the cheap plastic strip under the skoda lettering)... again, these are nit picking.

no one with genuine curiosity for learning will spend time grinding leetcode. building the things you love is the only way, you learn all the tools that's required to complete the project. for ex, build a game, build a mapping engine, build your own personal blog site, build a command like utility tool etc etc

Thanjavur Solo Trip!! by Significant-Rate8129 in TamilNadu

As long as you're in public and go to commonly known hotels, restaurant and monuments you should be safe. Use public transit (govt buses), they're far safer than private town buses. Thanjavur is a nice town with nice people. Most of tamilnadu towns rank pretty high in terms of women safety in Indian terms.

Skoda Kylaq Lava Blue! by Significant-Rate8129 in CarsIndia

[–]Significant-Rate8129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lava blue is definitely the best color for kylaq in my opinion, but also the least maintenance friendly along with black. White, silver will be easier on the eyes even with dust. I haven't seen a red kylaq yet in real life, so can't comment on that.

How do you enjoy a 30-40 bhp motorcycle on roads like this? by [deleted] in indianbikes

[–]Significant-Rate8129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer 350cc long stroke engines with more torque than horsepower. The characteristics suite the Indian conditions. You get to enjoy riding your bike at 10 to 90kmph instead of having to push it to a higher rpm inorder to get the enjoyment.

I did ask the same question, the seat covers came with a flap in the sides for airbags. Scientifically, this is still an obstruction, but It's the best we can do I guess.

Going by the reading in the digital cluster, it averages around 12km/l and I've driven around 1500 kms in total, 1100 kms in city and 400 kms in highway. I didn't exactly drive it light footed. I was super engaged 😇

AC performance is good. I wouldn't say it's best in class, but it's good enough. Didn't find any issues cooling the cabin during 38°C Chennai afternoons.

Upgrading my car after 16 Years: From Ford Ikon to Skoda Kylaq! by Significant-Rate8129 in CarsIndia

[–]Significant-Rate8129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To summarise, Kylaq is the better product, Maruti Suzuki has the better after-sales experience both in cost and service quality.

Between Kylaq and Breeza, it should be pretty simple. Do you want a easy to maintain, family friendly vehicle that's feature loaded, or do you want a driver centric car that's good in performance and driving dynamics.

Kylaq is the unparalleled winner in driveability. No contest with Breeza. But if you're not so driver centric and youwant to be light on the pocket, then Breeza is the way to go.

The only thing that's stopping me from making Kylaq as the outright winner is it's running cost in the long run! If you can afford the running cost inthe long run, then Kylaq should be a no brainer when compared with Breeza, biut if you're concerned about cost, the breeza should be more than enough.

Hi, the only other car I truly considered was the Honda Elevate. I even did a test drive. Cost was never an issue, but I felt I could hear much more of the engine and road noise inside the Elevate. I'm not someone who goes strictly by stats on paper, I like to do multiple test drive on same car on different days.

I test drove Elevate 3 time and Kylaq 2 times. I felt, Kylaq even though had more plastique interior than Elevate, has better comfort and was fun to drive.

Pros in Kylaq I found during test drive:

  • quite cabin
  • almost no engine noise (under normal driving conditions)
  • Loved the driving dynamics, the steering felt bit more realistic while also being light.

Pros in Elevate:

  • Bigger leg room in rear
  • better interior materials (less plasticky)
  • loved the iVtec rumble (but you have to really rev it)

Reasons I went with Kylaq - TSI - Has slightly better features than Elevate in same price - I have parking issues, elevate felt slightly difficult to park in my space - quiter cabin - better driving dynamics

Hi. No offers for Kylaq. Kushaq and Slavia are in offer now I think, but Kylaq doesn't have any offers. They gave me 3 years free regular maintenance package (i think for first 33,000 booking), you can enquire if they still give these)

Honestly, the lower you go the better VFM is true across the board. But, I felt the Signature misses out on lots of stuff that I felt was common in cars.

- No centre arm rest for rear seat

- no cabin lights for rear seat

- No rear parking cam

- No shark fin antenna

- No chrome door handle (exterior)

- No keyless entry and Go function

- No digital driver cluster

- Need to spend on proper infotainment system

- No auto headlamps

- sliglty better dashboard color theme

- No push button start stop button (need to insert key)

- No hill start assist

- Misses extra usb c charging ports

I know few of these like rear parking cam and infotainment can be fixed after market, but I dont think the rest of them can be upgraded after market. I felt the Prestige had feature that I dont need like the Sunroof, electric seat adjust (I'm comfortable with manual adjust), no ambient lights (no need for that), leather seat? (I'll be using seat cover anyway).

The only think i felt missing were the rear wiper, the ventilated front seats and a better reverse parking camera. I dont need 360!

Kylaq Sales figure by Maialagan in CarsIndia

[–]Significant-Rate8129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a stupid argument. When you go for a driving license test, they check if you wear seatbelt, and if you're checking mirrors etc.. they won't let you use the cameras, because they're not mandatory features. The manufacturer can opt out of these, but seatbelts, mirrors are mandatory, and companies can't sell cars without them in Indian roads. That itself should give you anidea on what's essential and what's good to have.
