I already have 4 two wheelers (Honda Activa, RX 100, Super Splendor and Bullet 350).

Activa is for female members of my family.

Super Splendor is like a workhorse, cheap to maintain and gives great mileage

RX 100 is my memory, it's my grandfather's and I also love the vehicle, it's weight distribution, it's pickup and everything.

As for Bullet it's good, give around 37kmpl mileage, it's heavy but I love the sound.

Now as I already have 4 two wheelers, the maintenance of all these are quite hectic, so I was thinking of selling my Bullet 350 for an old Suzuki Gypsy.

Gypsy is going to be like a proper project vehicle for me, so I am confused whether to go for it or should I just stick to my bullet

This is a service report of a car I was interested in buying (2nd hand). Its 2022 Kia Sonet HTX Plus, 26,000km driven.

But the only thing I can deduce from its service report is that, this car had a front end crash, now pardon me, I am no expert in cars or anything so am here to get my doubts cleared.

Thanks for your time.

edit : More details :

I found this car on Cars24, and they say they dont sell cars with accidental history, but as others have pointed out this car clearly had a major front crash.

so my bike is a second hand hf deluxe 2015 model which has 50k+ kms on it.

when I want to change my engine oil,i go to my nearest workshop and they change it but they use local engine oil.

i want to buy a good branded engine oil and use it and know the difference between it.

which company's engine oil do you guys suggest?

is there any problem with using synthetic or semi synthetic engine oils?

i have little knowledge on these topics

Hey folks, this is my mother's Hero honda pleasure.

It's a 2011 model. It's not been used for 2 years now. It needs

- servicing - i am expecting approximately 4k

- tyres - 3k

- Repassing - 8k approx

- HSRP - 0.5k

Total - 15k approx

I have a wego and a pulsar in perfect condition and do not need another scooty.

Would it make sense to go through all this process or to just scrap it and get it over with?

I am not aware of the scrapping process and expecting it to be a hassel anyway. Any suggestions and takes are welcome. Appreciate you reading till the end!! TIA

My Kia Syros 1.0 Turbo GDI DCT has ran about 5000 kms and I have noticed this weird idle issue since last week. It occurs randomly after the car has ran and engine is at operating temperature. The AC is off and there is no load. There idle is not stable and exhaust gas is not linear and there is sudden burst of gas when the car drops rpm. I visited the service centre today and they said since this is not occurring regularly send video if it appears again which I did. I wonder what is happening. Any suggestions?

I tried to stop him but he ran away as soon as i stepped out of car . How much would this cost to fix approximately ?

This might be a stupid question but I’m curious about this thing under my car near exhaust resonator. Not sure if it’s supposed to be like this..

I've got this car from an uncle. The car's engine is in superb condition even after doing 1.63 lakh kms. Just the body has some dents, scratches and bumper is also coming out from the sides. How much is it going to cost me to get it fixed?

I bought my honda amaze 3rd gen cvt top end in 2025 april. My 3rd free service was over in Feb 2026
Earlier also.. had got only 9-10kmpl in city. Thought that due to city traffic it is less. But after 3rd free service experiencing further dip in mileage getting in range of 8 kmpl or less

Is it normal in honda amaze and should i be concerned or any possibility of improper service or possible components leading to the dip. Shoukd i go back to honda service centre to check it

I liked honda better than other cars when i selected it compared to nissan magnite or renault kiger due to it’s premium build quality and reliability of Honda engines for long term. Even my father has honda jazz cvt for 10 years without any issue.. Now i start regretting taking honda due to Mileage issue and poor cabin sound insulation.

Please give your views

This is my 2007 Honda City. Now used primarily by my grandma and her driver to drive her from and to home-town.

Doesn't see more than 700-1000 km per month and very less night driving, so I'd prefer not buy a new windshield.

Anyway I can repair this through buffing or something?

Else how much does a new windshield for 2007 Honda City cost?

I have recently purchased a mahindra xuv 3xo (ax5) and it is a beast for my pov. But i am first time car owner so i don’t know about technicalities of engine

The Headlight has been broken and the bumper also looks crashed.
