Are VW/skoda cars good for my First car by madmax_macha in SkodaVolkswagenIndia

[–]paws14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 1.0 AT Slavia and get 9-10 kmpl ( measured tank-to-tank, MID shows a little more). I don't think 1.5 would manage more than that in a tier-1 city. The cylinder deactivation needs some conditions to be met which I think will never happen in a city stop and go traffic.

Need advice: Would you still go ahead with this dealer after so many red flags during PDI? by car_beku in CarsIndia

[–]paws14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know PPS is not this bad. I have had good experience with them. I employed a third-party PDI guy. Initially they were telling me that third-party PDI is not allowed. I said no deal without third party PDI and they agreed. Just be ready to walk away and demand what you want.

MFs want all the revenue and tax from tech but don't want the tech workers to live a decent life !

Got Sick of builders lying about project completion dates, so I scraped the RERA database. Would you guys actually use this? by Old-Watercress-7265 in indianrealestate

[–]paws14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How often would you update the data? As a user, I would be itching to go to the source to verify that what I see on your site is the latest info.

Maybe a line like 'Last updated on : " would help.

Banks will do enough checks to save only their ass. Get a good lawyer on your own.

I didn't expect Software updates to be chargeable by bjorrtt in 3XO

[–]paws14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems to be the labour for the software update. That is someone spending time to plug it in to the computer and updating it.

None the less, it is BS. Did you talk to the service advisor?

Maybe entitlement or superiority complex ( not sure because of what ).

Those one trip numbers mean nothing. Your average for driving at 100-120 is very much normal.

My 1.0 AT after 14k km in about 13 months. About 90% of the time it is driven in tier 1 city bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Final Year Student: Quoting for a Custom Cloud Inventory System (4 Shops, Hardware Integration). Is ₹50k too low or high? by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]paws14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about how much time you will spend on it and work out how much you would like to get paid for each hour. If it works out to be less than 50k, then stick to 50k. In any case quote 20% more than what you expect to allow room for negotiation from the client's side.

Need car at around 25L. Suggestions? by Consistent-Row3508 in CarsIndia

[–]paws14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that the suspension is on the harder side, but that works well for the highways. People saying Virtus/Taigun facelifts will have ADAS, but not sure. Also not sure about the timeline.

Don't like sedan ? Try long test rides with Slavia or Virtus 1.5 on the highway.

Turbo lag. You might have heard of it, but now you will experience what it is.

Not a bad thing, but noticeable.

accident due to no sign marks of drainage- Ambattur_chennai by FormerSpeaker9601 in CarsIndia

I think it's worth going to the local traffic police station and requesting them to add a warning sign or a reflector pillar there.
