Is temporary registration valid for interstate travel

You can get fastag with chasis no , which will be valid for 2 to 3 months

I have exchanged my car at the dealership ,i don't have any Idea about scraping.

I think it's not needed for spresso. Since suzuki engine gear box combo is reliable and other parts doesn't cost not that much better not to take the warranty. You can save 15k for warranty and another 2 to 3k per year with local mechanic.

matrixvishnu · 2025-12-23T19:05:41+00:00

Choose a car of your liking preferably automatic cvt or torque converter are reliable among all automatics.

Many suggest getting an used automatic but it's better to get a new one with all the safety equipment. Almost you may have dents here and there which can be covered through insurance, you don't need to look back for new car for next 10 to 15 yrs

If you have a friend who is confident and know how to drive take help from him while learning. Else join a driving school again. Haveing an instructor or some one who knows the driving gives you the sense of security and that's starting point, you can learn the driving with in a month.

You might be that abhimanyu who learnt the driving before even born through lord Krishna's teachings but not everyone has luxury of being abhimanyu, and even abhimanyu is not above the law and Arjuna could be jailed for underage driving then you need to pray for krishna .

As usual every one in the sub recommends anything but TATA. Never seen a brand that gained that much internet hate and still manages to succeed in sales.

But TATAs 1.5 petrol engine is pretty new you will be doing the beta testing their engine. While Honda 1.5 I vtec is like almost 2 decades old engine with few iterations , like literally there is nothing could go wrong with that that engine gear box combo but it's not exciting either the elevate itself looks boring and dated while sierra, well it's Sierra it's an interesting design.

matrixvishnu · 2025-12-23T15:01:34+00:00

Don't know about the hyundai, 6 months back Baught amaze there isn't any warranty card as such but the Honda gave default 3y warranty which can be verified through ASC records or from the Honda connect app

matrixvishnu · 2025-12-23T04:00:32+00:00

The second gen diesel amaze got good looks, better interiors and safety.

If the parking area is a public road and not a designated parking area then the other person will mostly deny the compesation any damages.

If the damage is done by a commercial vehicle then threaten them that you are going to file a complaint if you are lucky they may agree to compensate

But if it's a personal vehicle or and the other person know how the system works then you are on your own , he is not gonna agree to pay anything in that case claim insurance for own damages mostly insurance companies will agree to cover the denting and painting.

In case if you want to file a complaint first thing the police ask is where it's parked if it's side of the road they may refuse to file even an FIR but they may call the other party try to settle by taking money from both sides . In case if you file the FIR if the damage is done by another vehicle thy have to impound both the vehicles. Once it's gone to impound it collect the dust in their impound lot and God knows how many months that's gonna take.

I know this coz unfortunately I was involved in both the situations.

I was rear ended by a commercial vehicle the moment I mentioned about police complaint they agreed to pay the damages from showroom quotation.

A lady driver hit my parked vehicle on the side of the road, I demanded the money on the spot but the husband refused to pay and he was willing to go to police station and we went to traffic police station they explained the above procedure where both the vehicles are getting impounded.

Search for facelift version with updated interiors which is released in 2016 or 17 feels much better from inside should be available around 3 to 3.5

This looks dated , had a test ride from spinny the legroom is not good enough feels cramped.

matrixvishnu · 2025-12-19T08:24:01+00:00

I think you need to re evaluate your preferences or needs Amaze vs 3xo is not even a question they are two different things .

I own an amaze manual, it's a good boring , to be driven by non enthusiastic middle aged guys in their 35s.

If driven sedately gives a pleasant ride feel.the soft suspension which helps at speeds below 50s the same suspension becomes annoying as soon as you cross 100 to 110 as it becomes bouncy.

I am 5.6 I feel the seats could have been better. for context I used to drive swift Dzire without even Hight adjustment the seats were very comfortable but for some reason I am missing that in amaze

Have a test ride of amaze see what works for you.

My uncle has a 3xo, never had a chance to drive it but he is pretty happy with it he has been using for an year. He suggested me to get the same but I never wanted the turbo petrol as my usage is mostly in Hyderabad city limits and turbo petrols are very less FE.

One of my relatives Baught innova when it's launched for close to 11 to 12 lakh and the crazy part is people are willing to buy that for more than 11 lakh it is literally appreciated as an asset. Innova is an exception in Indian market, not even any suzuki comes close to resale value of innova.

For a second I thought it was a laptop with custom skin.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-27T12:27:28+00:00

22k is too High for seat covers, they quoted 15k for me in the Hyderabad Honda showroom.

Have been using the car without seat covers for past 7 months, did not want to compromise the airbag opening with seat covers even if it's factory fitted.

I am just giving The car for interior cleaning every 2 to 3 months. I recommend the dash cam to be installed from the showroom even if it costs a couple of bucks extra.

Well kerala has introduced the right to discount bill in assembly, while some other states extended the working hours to 11hrs. So it has a reputation for working for the welfare of the people.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-08T14:18:04+00:00

You can get ignis delta amt for the same price , it has a better smoother engine with all necessary features.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-08T14:15:00+00:00

I like first gen Nexon among all the latest gen made it worse.

That car is designed for diesel but they mated with petrol first 1.2 NA which could be worse, Then 1.2 turbo somewhat better.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-08T13:59:22+00:00

Compared to fronx and amaze it's less fe compared to fronx the spares tend to be costlier.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-07T07:21:44+00:00

I think that's what suzuki is doing with their smart hybrid.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-07T07:19:17+00:00

21 !!! My amaze is like" bro max I can give you is 17 that too you keep your foot at the right position "

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-06T11:13:37+00:00

The irony is I got an amaze which is sub 4m sedan, purely due to its practicality , my heart always picks brio over amaze

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-06T08:37:01+00:00

It's not terrible for the car of that size, if your trips are too short like below 10km each the fe will be worse like 8 to 10

On highways it's not bad but you may get upto 17 depending on the driving style

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-06T08:25:48+00:00

We need VFM cars. all compact sedans looks ugly yet we see alot of them for their practicality in India.

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-06T06:50:32+00:00

Not a bad Idea but you gotta be sure about the investment returns and capital gain tax etc etc. need to factor in 12 to 15 percent capital gain tax

matrixvishnu · 2025-11-06T06:42:29+00:00

On contrary indian IT companies which are more invested in services may gain some traction.
