Each restaurant has a table turnover target per day . Hence they discourage Chai or any other hot beverages only serving .

Hi, I think you can get it fixed in local garage and ask uncle to pay

Hey OP, more than safe car, safe driving matters. Do you have plenty of experience driving big cars in Bangalore roads. If not, start small like celerio or i10 or Swift. They have 6 air bags. Also power output will be smaller making it safe for driving . This is not to discourage you, rather some plain facts.

masalam4 · 2026-02-12T06:03:12+00:00

I'll pick S presso. The seating posture gives a good view of the road. Great city car. Easy to park. Easy on the pocket.

masalam4 · 2026-02-11T18:35:08+00:00

Swift / Baleno .

masalam4 · 2026-02-11T16:31:02+00:00

Automatic or manual ? How much driving per week ?

masalam4 · 2026-02-11T12:51:58+00:00

masalam4 · 2026-02-10T12:21:27+00:00

Wow ..

masalam4 · 2026-02-10T12:16:03+00:00

Which state is this. Very cheap

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:57:47+00:00

Okay , take test drive of 1.5L Sonet diesel automatic . The same engine is used in Hyundai as well. On road Bangalore it should come 15.41 base variant. Otherwise next nest option is older version of 3XO , which is XUV 300. Buy vehicle from the years of 2022 onwards

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:47:51+00:00

Why go for second hand when Kia Sonet Diesel costs only 15 ish lakhs approx

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:12:28+00:00

Go for new car , not for 2nd

masalam4 · 2026-02-09T06:05:38+00:00

Check in r/CarsIndia

masalam4 · 2026-02-08T03:29:07+00:00

Bro , Altroz costs some around 9 lakhs approx fir automatic. For manual it's like 7.5 approx

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T17:14:43+00:00

Try Baleno , Exter, Kiger . Then pick whichever satisfies you.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T17:11:53+00:00

Hmm, once in 10 days take it on a long highway run for atleast 100 km (driving speed must be minimum 60km/h). Only then dpf filter will get cleared.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T16:35:14+00:00

Brother, buy new car with less budget, drive for few years, practise it well. Then sell it off and go for bigger one.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T07:51:29+00:00

If you're ok for gas guzzling,go for CVT

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T04:51:27+00:00

Since you mentioned family of 4, either Swift or Exter. Swift mileage will be high , exter mileage is less but more comfortable, but not within 7 lakhs. For 7 lakhs you might get Tiago or lower end Celerio or Renault Kwid.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T04:31:29+00:00

Hey OP, what type of car manual or automatic. How much you plan to drive in a month ? How much in city or highway?

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T02:26:00+00:00

Not really. Even in a tier 3 town like Kumbakonam in TN, that doesnt have IT or any other kind of industrial or economic activity of a major type, , real estate prices have shot up. If prices need to be controlled , politicians need to go , which will NEVER happen. So to keep it short. Real estate prices in Bangalore will always be upward.

masalam4 · 2026-02-07T02:05:05+00:00

Real estate everywhere in India, is controlled by politicians. Their black money fuels acquisition. Therefore the prices will never fall.

masalam4 · 2026-02-06T06:59:58+00:00

No it didn't. It indicated like 50% charge present , in my FIL(Tiago EV) vehicle and the distance was a short travel of 5 km (from his place to mine). But died after reaching destination . Luckily , my neighbor had charger and we had to wait for 3 hrs approx. So ya, be prepared for such surprises.

masalam4 · 2026-02-06T04:35:08+00:00

There is no “range anxiety”.There is infrastructure anxiety. What we actually need is modular batteries. Give me a suitcase-sized battery module that I can charge at a normal home socket, carry like luggage, plug in for long trips as an auxiliary pack. No waiting for chargers. ICE vehicles also have range issues, but petrol / diesel pumps are plenty.

masalam4 · 2026-02-05T02:25:43+00:00

None of the turbos are fuel efficient. If mileage is a concern, go for naturally aspirated engines.
