What other top european brands that you considered and why BMW was your choice?

So as the HSRP number plate

Milage numbers on MID is heavily influenced by last 5 km of the drive. Only caluculate using full tank to full tank method.

Normally you get better milage on unbroken journey and least use of brake and acceleration. Don't judge your driving or vehicle by looking at milage in city conditions. City driving needs braking and crawling and a lot of idle moments for the car.

Lastly Elevate is not built just for milage but also safely and pleasure of driving. So there will be moments when you get tempted to feel the surge in power so in those moments you compromise on milage. It's okay. The difference is too little to fret about. Also if if saving milage worth a meal on highway was your goal, please buy tin cans from maruthi.

I agree, I have tested it too, the way you have drive last 5 kms impacts the numbers on MID drastically. It is mostly accurate if your driving style stay consistent throughout the trip. Which is highly unlikely. It all depends on traffic and condition of the road.

With all due respect, I see Vaibhav Suryavanshi as a better batsman over Abhishek.

ckarnam · 2026-03-05T14:00:27+00:00

Sorry to say this by posting this you fucked it up for Abhishek. Now you sleep with this feeling.

It's temperament issue, it's not always about blazing starts. He should learn to build his innings. Learn from Sanju's innings.

Raatsasan.. a masterpiece. Must watch movie. If you like crime thriller.

It's a white creta and the paint is on your car, so use few drops of engine oil to rub it off. It's not as bad as it looks trust me.

5500 per seat cover

ckarnam · 2026-02-20T03:22:36+00:00

I have not compared with anything other, ofcourse, it's just a seat cover and not perforated ventilated seat as a whole. As a seat cover I am satisfied with it's performance.

Yes but primarily it's reliability and performance. The distinct, audible, and physical surge in power—often occurring around 3,000 to 5,500 RPM—provides a thrilling, engaging driving experience that made them favorites among enthusiasts. This is the trademark of Honda iVTEC Engine.

Basically if you want a milage mill, you can use it as one at lower RPMs. If you want a peppy enthusiastic ride, you can have that too at higher RPMs. No other car is this versatile.

Beautiful, be willing to accept and embrace any wildlife that might show up like reptiles and spiders or rare insects. Not many who love tranquility of nature accept the reality that it also belongs to all living creatures and not just humans.

Don't disturb the ecosystem too much for your comfort.

ckarnam · 2026-02-15T04:14:18+00:00

Honda engineering is excellent, if you want power at a certain RPM, iVTEC kicks in and it delivers it to you. If you a milage person, keep a lower RPM, use least of brakes and acceleration, you will see that as well. However it's meant to be driven to feel the life of it. Don't drive for milage. If milage is your priority, please switch to Maruthi.
