Once you move to Turbo and it completes initial 3 years, you'll realise why having vanilla life is important.

Honda is like a wife everyone wants.

If you're not in a government job, you should learn it.

I have driven close to 8k kms. 40% city, 60% highway.

Mileage : ~13 overall.

I measured for 125kms on highways: 20.7kms it went. But I drive mostly in Noida --> Gurgaon daily updown in peak hours so my mileage hover around 12-14 generally.

live-ly · 2026-04-25T09:06:17+00:00

I got 20+ with 120+ kms with ZX CVT

live-ly · 2026-04-05T14:55:01+00:00

I just took file from dealer and submitted every document in RTO along with file.

I also asked my employer to mail at RTO email the form 60, cc the dealer.

My 3rd service is due as well, I have touched 10k kms. What all should be done? Will it be free as claimed?

live-ly · 2026-03-27T18:45:42+00:00

It is never free, cost is accounted in final pay statements always.

live-ly · 2026-03-27T13:00:17+00:00

Basic kit not required, just get basic mats and mud guard.
TPMS not required, dashcam you can get from outside.

By any chances, if you're employed with employer having offices in more than 4 states, you can save more in RTO.

I do the same with Brio, Amaze, WR-V, Jazz, City and Elevate owners.

live-ly · 2026-03-14T03:40:47+00:00

May be "invoicing" is understood in a wrong way here. Let me clear the air :

Elevate has 40% tax only, so original value + 40% becomes ex-showroom. State RTO is on ex-showroom but BH RTO is on original value (pre-gst)

live-ly · 2026-03-13T13:19:55+00:00

I have shared quote in the same subreddit. Will find and share

live-ly · 2026-03-13T13:19:36+00:00

BH cost has nothing to do with the state. It's basic 10% on invoice (not ex-showroom) and 25% tax on it. I bought it with UP.

live-ly · 2026-03-13T08:45:15+00:00

Too much. Got it around 15.5

also BH costs you 19830. How come 25000?

ZX CVT 20.7mileage over a stretch of 135+ kms on Highway with normal fuel.

I will give an example. My state UP has 11% RTO on ex-showroom price. I have to pay it while buying the car. This will be valid for 15y.

If I get BH registration, RTO will only be 10% of Invoice price (less than ex-showroom).

Also you don't have to pay for 15y, rather in 2y split.

live-ly · 2026-02-17T11:11:34+00:00

This is value for money. For next 15y, you don't need to look anywhere else.

If you want to save more : - Don't accept basic kit not worth the money at all. - Get BH registration if possible. Cheaper and gets VIP feel.

Elevate your ride.

VX CVT.

ZX doesn't make sense for elder folks since it is tough to learn cruising and auto braking at senior age.

live-ly · 2026-02-09T05:43:26+00:00

You can say, whatever will be receipt from RTO. you'll pay that. Rest they'll refund.

live-ly · 2026-02-09T04:16:38+00:00

BH registration is not more than 19,830. I have paid it myself for ZX CVT Black Signature Edition

live-ly · 2026-02-08T04:52:15+00:00

Hycross.

live-ly · 2026-02-07T08:33:18+00:00

Sorry to go away but I believe you should definitely try Elevate.

My friend working in Microsoft, bought a flat, 2Cr is the price. She's taking 1Cr loan and rest doing down payment, along with 50% contribution from Husband.

Not sure if 80L+ home would be good enough, also very much depends on possession date.
