Superb video. You discussed about Honda Brio, but I feel you should have added here Honda Jazz also. This superb CVT hatchback too has been discontinued by Honda now.
Absolutely. Words from a person who really knows the cars well. Eco Sport, Polo and Duster were great cars. Dusters highway handling was awesome. May be VW should bring back the Polo. I am sure, people still love it in new avatar
I have an 11-year-old Ford Figo and new gen latest Brezza automatic and have also driven a number of other cars, but the smile that my Ford Figo still manages to bring on my face every day, nothing has come close to it, also the OEM music system of Ford Figo is just phenomenal. And shockingly the plastic quality of 11 year old Figo is still many notches better than the latest Brezza. Its a shame Ford had to leave India.
I completely agree with your point on Hexa, Endeavor vs Fortuner. Would surely buy Endeavor over fortuner. Indian customers do bhed chal. Max people in our country don't understands what kind of car they need
Excellent review.... I started from Toyota Qualis, that had best in class engine --- to Renault Duster, which had amazing suspension and now on Chevrolet Cruze 2.0 Diesel AT and the thrills it gives on the road is next level. it just gives the level of confidence that you feel you could take on any car on the road... Though its a high maintenance car and has given headaches along the way, the sweet pain is worthwhile......This blind trend of SUV SUV as you said has taken people away from the classiness of a Sedan..... test drove Virtus, Slavia and Honda City... they still are best in class...
I think S-cross from Maruti's stable too was a great product! Felt spacious, comfortable, safe and easy to drive! Especially the facelifted version looked really good.
very well said :) I am still driving fiat punto and I must say that the features provided in the car were ahead of the time of Indian car manufacturers
very true, i have ford fiesta 2012 model in diesel bought in 2013, super car, gives lot of confidence with precise steering feedback, its turbo boost is second to none, a true fun to drive car. It has all features which other companies started talking about now like cruise, voice assist. Speakers are awesome, my sub woofer and amplifier from previous car was of no use (no need). I am selling it now as in NCR diesel older than 10 yrs is not allowed. This is the first car that i am selling and this feeling of see it go has overpowered the joy of buying a new car.
Driving Ford Aspire Diesel since 2018, and cant describe the driving experience the car offers. Its way better then many of current cars. In a nutshell Ford Aspire Diesel is a Driver's car. I sensed pain in your voice when you talked about Endeavour,Duster...same can be said for fiat Linea...this is the pain of a true car enthusiast. We will never get better products till the time we are stuck up with resale value & kitna deti hai syndrome.
Mera daily running 260 km hai..... only highway so pls suggest car..... petrol deasel cng ev......which best ........!?? milege and sefty k hisaab se 😊
Using Honda Brio since 2012, still going great with performance and comfort. Driving comfort is next level... Rightly said Brio is still better than some of currently available hatchback cars in market. Honda should relaunch Brio in Indian market with some more boot space and it will be grand success for Honda.
Had Ford figo Tdci 2012 till 2019..gem of an engine, ultimate handler and superb build quality. Have dzire zxi now but sorely miss my Figo experience.. Felt really sad to see Ford leaving India
Hi ,I saw various videos about converting/modified car from low variant to high variant ,is it reliable ,need your expertise. Pls make a video for reality. It will help us.Also pls adv can cng car kit/ gas tank be use for hydro fuel or not..is it possible?can we save our money to buy a cng car and once hydro fuel comes then can we use same kit/gas tank.also pls adv punch amt version performance .
Excellent video sir and agree with all your remarks and observations. I am the proud owner of Ford Ecoboost and didn't find my new suv xuv3oo tgdi not as smooth as the ecoboost.
I am looking to find Ford Endeavor in second hand car market.. please advise whether i should go for it or not? If yes, please recommend the realistic price i can expect for most value
Ford figo diesel performance and maintenance cost is unmatched, this conclusion I have arrived at after using at least 5 other Indian cars of different brands of the same range. Your analysing is very true regarding the Indian taste and like and dislikes.
Bhai mere pass Hyundai Verna 1.6 SX(o) diesel 2015 varient hai..do u consider it as a good choice of that time? And does it still worth in front of new generations?
Driving grand i10 asta petrol since 8 years and completed 1.86 lacs kms no problem at all best service by hyundai mostly driving on highways....what a car it is... will buy korean again no doubt. Will always consider value for money , quality product and best service.
I still have Global Ford Fiesta DCT and it's a real Batmobile, Best car with BMW 320d like handling and ride. DCT (Getrag) is the same which was used by Mercedes at the time, it has Cruise Control, Hill Hold, Hill Descent Control, ESP, Traction Control, Cabin made of Boron Steel and was 5 star GNCAP rated in 2012/2013 and all this was in mere Rs. 9.25 Lacs !!
I have Nissan Terrano 2014 petrol, trust me it looks way premium but sturdy than today's new cars. As you correctly said, can't be beaten in terms of Suspension, space comfort and drive feeling.
i totally agree with your observations..... it was really difficult to find automatic cars in India. ended up with Hyuandai I10 grand sprotz pure automatic. bought from H promise 2019. thanks for your video. driving automatic is fun to drive
Some other classics which have been discontinued because of the SUV craze - Octavia, Civic, Cruse, Corolla - an entire segment of awesome cars wiped out
The primary reason why people bought Fortuner more than Endeavour was the aggressive looks of the Fortuner over the decent looks of the Endeavour. Majority of people are way too egotistical and they suffer from inferiority complex. And, to hide that inferiority complex they tend to over compensate by buying anything and everything that makes them look like a GUNDA. For some reason our so called educated citizens think it’s aspirational to be someone whom everyone fears. The same psychology made the trashy movies like KGF and Tiger Zinda Hai so successful, because people like to m@sturbate seeing those overly loud “heroes” and imagining their own selves in their shoes.
I stared with Figo petrol, kept it for 5 years, upgraded to ecosport 1.5 petrol, kept it for 5, and then upgraded to xuv700 petrol. Mahindra comes close when compared to ride, handling and built of ford.
Have been driving a Brio for the last 9 years and have never stopped having a grin on my face ever since. Would like to also add a point that it's great on highways as well. Have done almost 50km km on highways and it handles everything very well and highly practical. I love the car so much that I can confidently ignore the cons..
Need an automatic suv, Budget 14L Half city half highway, related driving, need back seat comfort, mileage and sefty... Tata nexon facelift/honda elevate/maruti brezza or any other car ... Please suggest, it'll be my first car 😊
I am getting a Duster AWD Diesel 2015 24K run with service history neat and clean for 8 lakhs and in my state the life span of a Diesel car is 15 years Should I consider it ? Please reply
Some other unique but recently-discontinued cars that should come back: Honda B-RV (only MPV offered by Honda in India till date), Maruti Suzuki S-Cross (Maruti's 4300mm crossover five-seater that looks like a Baleno but is as big as the Ertiga with huge rear-row space; perfect for owners with drivers). I think most people seeking Nissan Micra should look at Nissan Magnite. Yes, it's not a hatchback but it has the cheapest full automatic (CVT) in its segment.
Sach bat kahi hai mai miss karta hue VW group ke TDI engines, Maruti Suzuki DDIS (Thou I own on Swift Dzire VDI 2008 I wanted more cars) Renualt DCI engines, Chevrolet Cruze diesel rocket and many more wish I had lots of money at the right time apne ke bat se sahmat hue wakt nikal gaya jankar tha mai ke inke jaise koi nahi hai but paise nahi the roj ye soch ta hue aj batane ka mauka diya apne shukriya 🙏
Boss. You have got back your original spirit thanks to your will power combined with medical advice, i think so. Anyway, very happy to see you in high spirit. I like TATA'S HEXA, FORD ECOSPORT, ENDEAVOUR , and what not!❤❤❤ janata ki gaadi jai ho😂
You are spot on. But except Ford Endeavour 3.2 & Ecosports with Ecoboost engine would be the only one people will remember for long. Yes Micra CVT was very good but Auto Gearbox were not so popular Than. So People found it expensive by ₹1 lac+ & Nissan offered poor Service Stn Network. Duster did not offer good Interiors & feature list. BRIO too small & expensive
Budget upto 12.5L, can't decide I don;t like interiors of Maruti at all, xuv300 back look is very basic(i like i20 back look more). Already having Grand i10 at home. pls suggest
Superb video. You discussed about Honda Brio, but I feel you should have added here Honda Jazz also. This superb CVT hatchback too has been discontinued by Honda now.
Indeed Jazz is iconic too.

Absolutely. Words from a person who really knows the cars well. Eco Sport, Polo and Duster were great cars. Dusters highway handling was awesome. May be VW should bring back the Polo. I am sure, people still love it in new avatar
But sadly dueto increase in dimensions of the new global model.. prices would be equalent to Creta/Seltos higher varients
True but men think more practically while boys think more to fun drive
What about triber ?
And also don't forget Freestyle, such a driving pleasure 😍
