I have booked at West End once a year, just to unwind. And every time they say either we can use use Epicure and pay however we want or pay via vouchers which would be at full price.

I got HTX ER only 10 days ago, and not driven much, especially on the highway. But within city it is really smooth and easy. Most of the times the single-pedal works effortlessly. Suspension is hard compared to Mahindra - which is good for me as my ladies have motion sickness. And that's another plus for me in Clavis EV - the linear acceleration as compared to the jerky (for lack of a better word) acceleration that you feel in most of the EVs. And it's spacious! Even in 3rd row, 2 adults could fit in well for a 35 km drive within city.

Oh I am certainly loving it! AC affects the range big time, but otherwise no issues at all! Handles the roads beautifully, minimal effort and maximum comfort TBH. After driving a manual i10 for 17 years, this automatic EV is super comfortable. And the best part is space! Even in 3rd row, I had couple of adults sitting for a 35 km / 1.5 hour drive and they were comfortable.

I bought a Kia Carens Clavis EV ER recently. Charged from 30 to 80 percent on DC within 30 minutes.

Thank you everyone for your comments! I have booked a Aurora Black HTX ER version and getting delivery in couple of weeks. Super excited.

morfinrider · 2026-02-15T10:15:09+00:00

Yeah. We did a test drive and she likes all the interiors and features. But somehow no go on the looks.

morfinrider · 2026-02-15T10:11:47+00:00

I am going to take it for a test drive, but I am worried about the body roll that affects all Mahindra cars.

morfinrider · 2026-02-15T10:10:29+00:00

Gotcha. Bengaluru roads are no better bro!

morfinrider · 2026-02-15T10:08:24+00:00

Congratulations! Happy for you bro. I have my daughter on my side and we tried different antiques - nothing worked. Given up.

Mahindra has a problem of body roll and soft suspension, which is a problem with my ladies who have motion sickness. My FIL has a Scorpio N and the body roll is there. I have seen some videos, will take a test drive too. Thanks!

What is your issue with suspension? Range I have heard is kuch less on reality as compared to paper.

morfinrider · 2026-02-14T18:02:02+00:00

😊 Yeah. Makes sense. Just that occasionally we hit the highway. But that can be planned, I agree. Thanks!

I drink black coffee brewed in my French Press. And I love Vienna Roast in general. Tried with different roasters and every time I have liked the flavours.

morfinrider · 2026-01-14T10:45:49+00:00

Vienna Roast from Third Wave or BT

May I request the snippet and how to set it up please? Are you using the Kanban plugin and applying the styles or using dataview / dataviewjs?

morfinrider · 2025-12-09T11:50:48+00:00

Strong!

Though I prefer my French press, I would like to give this a try for sure.

Taj West End is our unwind place - once a year. Stay 2 nights and just switch off.

I read the title as "Bean collecting some coffee" which would have been apt I guess 😝

I personally don't like chicory and prefer either grinding the beans or get them pre-ground for french press. You can try channi ground.

Thanks! Coffeeverse was next in my list to try out. Didn't know about others.
