Do utubers get free car from companies or faisal mocking someone else in gagans video

Went on a road trip from Ahmedabad to Udaipur. Cruising at 100 kmph, the engine was barely at 2k RPM. The ride felt insanely smooth — no drama, no wobble, just effortless gliding.

At one point it genuinely felt like she was basically begging me to push past 100 and break a few rules 😅

Anyone else feel like their car is way more capable than the roads (and laws) allow?

AMA, been thinking about this for a year and finally made the move.

If any GLA owners, do let me know what accessories did you get installed?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, first time posting here. I'd love some honest opinions from people who know more about cars than I do.

I found a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid AT listed for 36.5 lakh. It's single owner, 24,000 kms driven, Toyota Certified, and the seller mentions 1% TCS and RC transfer charges extra. So realistically I'm looking at around 37-38 lakh all in.

A brand new 9th gen Camry is around 55 lakh on road right now. So this saves me about 17-18 lakh for a car that's barely been used. That feels like a solid deal to me but I could be wrong.

I currently own an MG Comet which works fine for city stuff, but I want something bigger and more comfortable for longer trips and also for days when I don't feel like driving and just want to sit in the back with a driver. The Camry's rear seat comfort and hybrid mileage seem perfect for that.

My main concern is whether buying the older 8th gen makes sense when the new one just launched, and whether the hybrid battery warranty transfers to a second owner.

I'm not chasing badges or sporty driving. Just want something comfortable, reliable, and cheap to run. If anyone here owns a Camry or has looked at one at this price range, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts. Are there better options I should consider instead?

Thanks in advance!

I think kia has some great looking vehicles(exceptions are always there) and most of kia’s suvs look better than their Hyundai counterparts.

So, why isn’t kia launching a better looking cousin to Verna. Verna is a good car but the front looks are a miss. If kia can provide a sedan for the same budget with a better front look then it will sell like crazy.

They already have multiple sedans in international markets. So, why not launch one in India. People already like kia cars and would buy it for sure.

P.S. I know kia is targeting suv segment because of Indian roads and buyer bias but giving one sedan won’t hurt. It will increase their buyers(because the competition is not much and kia is more trusted by older buyers than vw/skoda).

I need some honest opinions before I finalize this deal.

I’m getting a 2016 Honda Amaze (1.2 i-VTEC, base model) for ₹2.5 lakh, and the car has only 15,000–16,000 km driven.

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

The car wasn’t used like a typical personal vehicle. It belonged to a hospital and was mainly used for VIP movements — like picking up doctors from the airport or dropping them home. So most of the time, it was just parked.

I even got a detailed vehicle report done (spent ₹470 on it 😅), and here’s what I found:

•	No accidents reported

•	No engine or transmission issues

•	No odometer tampering

•	Last recorded service shows around 12k km

•	BUT… service history is irregular (long idle periods)

Mechanic checked it and said it’s in good condition overall. Only a minor bearing issue (~₹500 fix).

Now the big catch:

The RC is in the name of the previous director (second owner), who is no longer working there. The current person selling it (third director) says:

“Don’t worry, my agent will handle the RC transfer, even without OTP from the previous owner.”

That part honestly makes me a bit uncomfortable.

⸻

My situation:

•	This will be my first car

•	I’m emotionally attached to the idea (not gonna lie 😅)

•	Budget-wise, it feels like a great deal

•	But I don’t want to make a stupid mistake

⸻

So my questions:

1.	Is this actually a good deal or am I being blinded by low price + low km?

2.	How risky is this RC transfer situation realistically?

3.	Should I go ahead or walk away?

⸻

I’d really appreciate honest opinions — even brutal ones.

I’d rather feel bad now than regret later.

I'm reading everywhere that they are illegal, but I can't find any particular notification/ circular saying they are illegal. iIf they are, how are Mahindra selling them as accessories?

Hi folks,

Need some honest advice from experienced drivers here.

Profile:

- Age: 40

- New driver (currently driving Grand i10 comfortably in Bangalore)

- Family: 3 members

- Usage: Mostly Bangalore city driving + occasional highway trips

- Budget: Not a constraint

Cars shortlisted:

- Hyundai Creta 2026

- Kia Seltos 2026

- Skoda Kushaq 2026

My dilemma:

- I personally liked the Seltos the most (features + premium feel)

- But worried if it might feel big/stressful in Bangalore traffic

- Creta feels easier and safer choice

- Kushaq felt good to drive but not sure about city comfort and practicality

What I care about:

- Easy to drive in heavy traffic (MOST IMPORTANT)

- Safety

- Comfort for family

- Long-term peace of mind

Not too concerned about mileage or price.

Would love to hear from:

- People driving these cars daily in Bangalore

- Anyone who upgraded from a hatchback like i10

What would YOU pick in my situation?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Seems like there are only white cars in the world with only me riding a Metallic Grey.
