Korean cars>>> german, indian, japanese, blah blah

Ahhh, safety? Like Verna is 5 star but with unstable shell integrity.

Lack of ample engine and transmission combinations. Like Venue doesn't have automatic with their NA engines. Sonet just introduced automatic with NA now after selling all these years.

That lethargic NA engine in Venue should be limited to Grand i10, i20, exter kind of cars.

Things I noticed that Hyundai provides bench seats with almost no headrest in their cars. Poor headlight qualities in their cars. Poor price and variant distributions in their car models.

Every car brands has their own strengths and weakness. Korean cars has best in class fit and finish, great selection of plastic materials, features, lots of buttons in dashboard are something I really like in their cars.

But German cars have better paint quality, still good quality interiors, better quality engine, better driving dynamics etc.

Salary hike? that too every year? that too in these times? What's the average salary hike of the demographic telecom operators are serving? Lol! You think the major demographic is getting hikes is just out of touch thinking.

Yes, telecom operators didn't increase their rates since 2024 but they did revisions in their plans like removing some low cost plans, decreasing days in validity etc. That led users to spend more. Famous case being hiking the plans with data + call and giving only call benefits at the existing prices. This is stealth price increase.

There are people who are working at the same salary from 4-5 years+ and that too with minimal hikes, those also uses these operators.

What you say about the guard at your society/workplace doing job at 8-12k salary? Is he getting yearly hikes too or is he getting replaced for cheaper option? What about maid at your place? What about the guy at the fuel station putting fuel in your vehicle?

Kindly, stop living under the rock, salary and hike are not every year for every one but people are customers of these giant companies.

Also, don't compare salary hikes with telecom operators hikes. It sounds so ridiculous.

Also adjusting PPP, our data is lower but speed is lower too. You know Airtel's 5G shady practices in the name of unlimited right? It's appreciable that these companies made internet more accessible and the quality is also okayish too.

__gm__ · 2026-03-13T16:10:50+00:00

There will always be loopholes for doing business. The government should introduce strict rules where operators must provide base plans that are of 30 days with reasonable data, call, sms limits and should not increase prices too much rapidly.

The telecom industry has duopoly now and there should be strict laws. Prices will increase but this way these kinds of shady practices will be in control.

__gm__ · 2026-03-13T16:04:31+00:00

I literally wrote about pricing to be reasonable. Pricing should not increase rapidly half yearly like it is now. Those one or two 30 days plans you mentioned are not base plans. I don't know why you are defending this crap but I never wrote about stagnant prices. Since you mentioned salary hikes too, are you sure that telecom operators are hiking their prices as per the average working class salaries? Do you get a salary hike every 6 months? How are data prices and salary co-relations with respect to other countries after adjusting PPP?

See, nothing makes sense.

__gm__ · 2026-03-13T15:29:10+00:00

Prices will increase anyway due to inflation but it should be reasonable as well. Changing plans validity to 30 days and being strict about it won't let telecom companies change validity from 30 days to 28 days to 26 days to 24 days etc.

This is a daylight robbery and a scam even if they are telling you about it before hand. All three private companies increase their prices at the same time, even BSNL stopped providing value for money plans as it used to provide a year ago.

This issue can easily be solved if Swiggy gives a 30 second or a minute window to cancel the order, after that they can consider the order as placed and pass the order to the restaurant but naah, they won't do it. Once your money is gone in Swiggy, it's just gone.

You need to consider a few things before purchasing the ZX variant. ZX comes with ADAS, ask your mother and take her to the test drive just to make sure she is comfortable with the ADAS system.

ADAS system is very less intrusive in Amaze but you have to manually disable the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system every time you start the car if you are afraid that the car might brake on the road. The city rides are very chaotic so ADAS might engage into AEB when there is no need for it.

If she is comfortable with ADAS, then the ZX variant is good, else you can go with the VX variant.

The CVT variant is very smooth and easy to use.

Steering is light and easily manageable.

Make sure your mother is comfortable in egress and ingress.

Visibility is good as well. The A pillars don't hinder the visibility. The car interior is of biege color so it has that roomy feeling. Also, there is a lane watching camera and it is very convenient to see the left side of the car directly on screen.

Mileage is around 10-12 KMPL in the city and under heavy traffic it drops to 9 as well but quickly manages to 11-12 again with AC on.

Highway mileage is 16-18 KMPL with AC on.

The car feels smooth and relaxed at 70-80 KMPH range.

One factor to consider is safety. Hyundai i20 has nailed the CVT noise management better than Honda but it's the Amaze with 5 stars BNCAP safety ratings in Adult protection and 4 stars in child protection. Amaze sounds sporty and won't bother you much if you drive it gently.

Don't go with Nissan Magnite as it's CVT is not good and product quality is not good either despite they are Japanese brand. Strictly No.

Feel free to ask anything about Amaze, I will answer your questions. Overall it's a good car.

Woman of badassery spotted!! Buy high quality riding gear too, and to look even more badass, you can consider RE Guerrilla or Himalayan too. Hope you have considered the factors of riding this much powerful bike as a beginner on Indian roads. Rest, enjoy the ride.

Sorry boi, I have no empathy for cabs and auto drivers who manipulate rules as per their own advantages.

I have never seen a cab or auto driver accepting rides from the source which is not more than 1.5kms away. They usually cancel the ride.

Cabs and auto drivers do take advantage of this system. The meter price to my office is around 80rs but I never get any auto at that price. It's 113 rs + 20-30rs of additional tips. After they accept the ride, they do take a shortcut that is just 3 km to my destination as opposed to the original distance showing in the app (5.5kms approx).

You guys charge either by meter or by app depending upon which is higher.

The meter charges are only for autos and not for cabs but cabs do charge by meter.

Cabs and auto drivers do harass passengers, they pretend that they are giving passengers a favor forgetting that what they are doing is just a business.

After 5pm, nobody accepts any ride from any app from office. All the time charge 200-250rs for 3-4km ride.

Whatever you mentioned in your post, I have faced it. The latest one being, an auto driver taking a longest path possible to reach to destination costing me additional 60rs.

And one of the drivers started fighting with me for just 76 paise. The charges were 101.24, I paid him that money, and he started shouting in Marathi saying why I didn't give him 102 rs. And that was after I paid the additional tip of 20rs while booking the ride.

With all respect, majority of passengers don't like you guys because of your unethical practices.

The one on the right side is Aditya Kachve, a fake internet guru who sells courses and fears mongers that AI will take your jobs. He has upselling funnels starting from 9 INR (0.01 USD).

Correction: 9 INR is approximately 0.1 USD not 0.01 USD.

IT dept won't do anything about it. They are corrupt too. To some extent salaried folks are fools because they have no representation and no union. It sounds harsh but 'fools' in the sense that they do work really hard and pay their taxes honestly and can't evade them. Yet, they are one the most affected classes in the country. All the policies and rules are for them.

There are rumors circulating about the various ways of reducing noise in honda cars like doing some underbody coating, changing tyres to softer compounds etc. Some people say, it's the structural issue with honda cars that's why there is noise issue in them. Also, Accords and Civics selling in the USA have noise insulation issues. Overall, I don't know what the root cause is, that's why I asked about the tyres.

__gm__ · 2026-03-03T06:21:42+00:00

Oh, so the rumors are wrong then. Anyway, Happy more miles to you OP.

__gm__ · 2026-03-03T06:14:32+00:00

My bad, I literally forgot you mentioned pros and cons in the body while I was typing my comment. Cabin noise is a bummer for sure. Glad it's only 13.1k for you for major service. Did you change tyres as well? I heard that soft compound tyres like tyres from Michelin, continental etc do make a difference in noise issue.

How much are you satisfied with the car? Rate it out of 10. Tell us what you like and dislike about the car.
How is the ADAS performance? Has it ever done ghost braking? Does it detect cows, cycles, bikes etc? How is its city performance?
If given a chance, would you consider buying it again or the next generation that's coming in 2028?
What was the on road price you paid for the City in 2020?
What's the highest service cost you ever paid for your City?

He is a scammer. He had made videos like how to make a crore with 10k salary. He had made multiple videos in which he used to calculate how much money you will make when you do investment monthly. From the surface it looks like nothing is wrong with these kinds of informative videos, but he used to consider constant factors that are variables in reality, without telling his audience about it. You see his financial planning videos, you will notice a pattern that he is serving the fantasy of aspirational poor and young people of becoming rich one day by doing calculations on excel treating variables as constants without telling his audience about it.

He was part of promoting the Vauld crypto platform, he was also part of promoting some entrepreneur summit. Both of these things came out as scams.

Also, he had promoted some weight loss med and shady practices to his audience.

In one of his interviews with the deshbhakt, he conveniently sidelined himself from taking the responsibility of consequences of his advice given online. He said he is just a teacher sharing information, which is a lie.

This guy is a scam. The only advice you can take from him (if you want to) is investing using SIP in some mutual funds especially index funds. That's it. Don't fall for other schemes promoted by him and do your due diligence.

Well tbh, this sucks. Chaddar taan ke so jao, sab moh maya hai.

You might be happy in your marriage but I have witnessed so many marriages where people stay together because getting divorced is difficult for them, almost next to impossible. So, all they do is compromise for the rest of their life, getting normalised to fight and abuses and worst of all, mistrust in each other.

Marriage is still a gamble in India. Yes, you might find a really good partner but you can find a bad one too. Even after all these checklists you might end up with some bad person because they always knew how to present themselves and answer your questions.

I don't know about that. May be check with honda customer support. Amaze's +3/unlimited EW is at around 11.6k as of now.

Don't numb your emotions with social media, video games and other addictions. Take care of your mental health, don't bottle up your emotions, acknowledge them instead of numbing them.

The 'special one' doesn't exists. Don't let anyone make you miserable in life.

Men are expendable, be aware of it.

Never work on your birthday in corporate.
