@@motorinc Can you add on to this topic and give suggestions on how much odo is safe for using a car. Can we buy a second hand car which has more than 1 lakh kilometers?
I drive a 14-year-old i10. 1,50,000+ kms on the ODO and it has never let me down. Have driven all over south india with a family of 5. Only recently changed the clutch plates and suspension. Otherwise no major repairs.
So on point. We have a 2006 Innova with 90k KM on the odo. Though it lacks all the tech and safety features, it still works like a charm. Gets us from point A to B without any hiccups and has never broken down!
That's a different and the correct way to approach car upgrade discussions. Such conversations usually happen offline among family and friends. You have brought that online. Thank You and Respect 👍
My car has just done 400,000 kilometres and i just had the engine rebuilt because the rest of the car is like new and i love it because not many cars are as comfortable to drive
My father used his alto for 11 years and only after his commutes became longer and over rougher roads did he finally decide to get a new car. So last year we got an Scross and we'll hopefully keep it for another 10 years (probably coz it'll be very difficult to upgrade without spending twice/thrice the money😆)
Im gonna use my polo and figo till eternity ❤ Only done 54000kms on polo (2011) & 70k on figo (2016) I have so many memories and emotions attached to them from the day i picked them up from the delivery bay. They are not just vehicles, they are a part of me, they are legends. And Legends never Die ! ❤ Cheers Motorinc ! You guys are awesome ❤ And you probably know it 😉
I can’t agree more. I i20 Elite Asta(o) 2015 has done 45k and she still feels like new. Well on the inside at least, street parking isn’t kind on the paint. But still the first car I got with my first proper job out of college and just like you said, so many memories and emotions. Sometimes I’m tempted to upgrade to a the new Verna or the Seltos or even something electric, but I just can’t let go.
@@anoshs update : Figo had some problem and the service guys couldn’t fix it, it was my primary car and it was absolutely unreliable, so sold it off for a new swanky i20 (the one before the facelift) in June. The i20 is amazing ! The polo still remains and it will be forever.
You nailed it, bro. I am still the proud owner of a 2009 Punto and am approaching the fitness test in the coming year. And all my reasons for the new car, you answered them at the end. 😊.
This channel has perhaps one of the best production value on any automotive chanel globally and the style of presenting is completely fresh in this category. I'm interested to know if they did a complete breakdown on how apple does its media and applied those learnings here ?
Wow and here I’m driving an old 1997 Corolla which has 390000km on the ODO and it still drives, the gear still shifts great, though some electronics don’t work anymore for e.g. the rear right power window and the speedo no longer shows the right speed but that doesn’t matter for me as the RPM gauge (rev counter) gives me enough info. Old car barely any features so I had to add reverse parking sensors, cruise control, and a new stereo system (speakers too).
This advice is right on... one of the biggest waste of money for most of us is buying new cars, along with the interest on loans. I plan to keep my cars as long as possible... currently have a 2015 Toyota Camry and 2017 Chevy Spark, both great cars with no issues!
Fabulous job, Kartik! Watching you is a treat, not just for how you present things but also for what you present. I have a 15-year-old Swift Zxi, and having run it for less than 60,000km so far, I see absolutely no reason to replace it just yet.
Brilliant ... Very well explained. Nowadays the only real changes are touch screen sizes and sunroof , ventilated seats , ADAS ( not practical in Indian conditions). The overall drive , feel of cars ( fun to drive factor) is going down, very few NEW cars feel Great to drive. Toquey Diesels are gone....Feature list going UP , fun to drive factor going down.5 Years ago there were Many great cars that are gone , ....Majority because of Emission norms and some Manufacturer Blunders ----- Ford India shutting shop & Tata Motors ( Discontinuing the TATA HEXA).
I got a 06 Tacoma. Over the years as parts wear out, I've upgraded them. Coming up on 300k and the engine still runs like the day I bought it. 6speed manual with only power windows and a radio. No other tech. Just the way I like it. Doing most of your own mechanical work is very satisfying.
Totally agree! if a person tries to replace a 2018 vehicle, for example, a titanium Ecosport Diesel with a new vehicle with similar specs, it will cost nothing less than 16L to 18L!!. Getting a new 4-wheeler in today's day and age has become an expensive affair. Once again, kudos to MotorInc for voicing the reality and encouraging people to do an actual qualitative comparison.
I own a 2018 swift zxi(new version) and I am itching to upgrade to a nexon/seltos. But your video made me rethink that my current car is as good as new. Gotta use it for a few more years.
@MotorInc, @Kartikeya, In a fast paced world, where we are either looking "excitement" ourselves in everything, every step of the way OR if we are being peer pressured or being socially engineered to look for "excitement " every step of the way, this was/is a great msg to sit back, relax, take a breath, take stock of what we have and what we actually need before just jumping into something just for the sake of it. Great point of view. Thank you and keep it up.
I've been saying this to my friends for 2 years. If you need a new car, look for a good used one. There's no sense in buying a new one considering taxes and depreciation. Is maddening! I always avoided used cars but now I'm for it. Also, I'd prefer a bs4 anyday
That's thoughtful advice. Anything spent in repairs now and then is much less than payments every month. I've had my '85 Cadillac Eldorado for 21yr. I've renewed as necessary things like tires, shocks, brakes. Engine, trans, interior are fine (at 145K mi). A sanding and paint will make it look brand new. I plan to keep it forever.
Yes, it's a car, not a mobile phone...where are people getting so much disposable money from. Lot of people "upgrading" just coz their neighbour got a new one. The best way to be green is to use your "things" ( cars,bikes, electronics) to max possible extent. Decrease the demand, reduce consumption , see the prices go down, see the change in attitude of car dealers when demand goes down, and see how much you can save, by not upgrading every now and then, use that to explore yourself, your surroundings, donate a little.
Excellent coverage by Kartik. I would like to add one point. We are almost at the last generation of IC engines. So either wait till EV infra and cost is stable say, another 5-6 years or buy the latest IC engine now and enjoy till its full lifetime.
Funny enough, I was saying the same thing to my friend last week. I own a Baleno (Nov 2016), that has clocked just 40K in 7 years, and recently spent 60K on making it look like shining a newly wed bride. So why upgrade, and ditch your wife?
Restored my 2005 Swift after several years of neglect. Thought of selling it while I purchased a new creta. Now after a new paint job, alloys and overall detailing, I love more than my new car!
I have a 2012 Brio which i bought in 2022. I upgraded by adding Focal speakers, Touch screen infotainment, sensors, rear cam , Doors sound proofing. This tiny looking car feels very peppy and fun to drive.
Because of this big transition phase of automotive industry. I have bought a 2013 Toyota etios . It had 1.37L kms to it. And i put on 10k on it in a year. I am understanding my user pattern or more likely settling my user pattern to choose the right car for me in the future . I did not want take any new EMI. I had planned for an EV . But decided to wait for some good range on it. But still hesitant to change to ev as I have clocked only 10k kms on the car I a year.
Bought a new car last year. Urban Cruiser automatic. Wanting to own an automatic was the very first reason. I saved enough money over few years which helped in not taking a loan. Tried a few cars and finally settled for this one. Bought it just before it was discontinued by Toyota. Very happy with the purchase. The engine is peppy, the driving is super smooth and the auto gearbox is such a charming one!! Few things could be improved but not too bothered about them! Very happy with my decision!
Have a 2012 FIAT Punto 1.3 Multijet Emotion model. Absolutely reliable with strong build quality and fun to drive as well. Have NO plans to replace it at any cost and any time.
Karthik , I have been following you since the time you were in Autocar, You are the epitome of Freedom and Clarity in thinking and , Yes , You are A TRUE MOTOR JOURNALIST!
Just before the pandemic, I had bought a spanking new Skoda Octavia L&K and post pandemic,i bought a new Ignis as a second car for running errands which i couldn’t use skoda for peacefully.After buying ignis, my mind started playing games wrt finances and i felt the urge to sell off the Octavia as I wasn’t using it much and the car was undergoing a lot of depreciation. So ultimately I landed up with only the Ignis in my garage which i would have never bought as a primary car. Im still using the ignis daily and m enjoying it a lot. I dont have to worry about parking it anywhere, about door dings, about insurance premium costs and other things things that we associate with expensive luxury cars. Still, I sometimes feel that I need a car equivalent to the Octavia or above it to satisfy my ego, however, the Ignis does all the tasks that an Octavia would, definitely except having those extra features obviously, but which would be hardly ever used. I realised that the cars we purchase today are usually more for status than for actual requirement.
I got a 13-year Fabia (Diesel). Going strong. Love driving it each day. And plan to keep it for more years to come (20 yrs max 😊) But I have the exact same reasons for keeping my car as you said Kartik. Being environment friendly is not just about buying EVs or cleaner tech vehicles.
Didn't know about your channel, got this as a recommendation on YT while researching for a new (first) car for my brother-in-law. And while researching and test-driving some of them, the not-so-rational part of my brain asked if it is time to upgrade my 2018 petrol MT Nexon now that it just completed 5 years? I am glad that the rational part of my brain immediately kicked in and made me realize that I have barely used it (29k on odo) and both my family and I absolutely love its ride quality and comfort and barring a few new-age features, it doesn't lack any necessary ones! As I question the mind-reading abilities of YT/Google, I was pleasantly surprised to see this video it made me immediately subscribe to the channel and binge on 5 other videos. Thank you for putting out quality content, this is such a refreshing change from other automobile reviewers!!
My dad's 15 year old santro works like a charm to this day. Just had to get work done on the suspension and tyres. If properly taken care of they will serve a very long time. Finally upgraded to a crysta a few years ago and the leap is massive in terms of space power and safety
Not a bad plan. Remember to actually read up on how 5* ratings are awarded too. Otherwise some conclusions you’ll reach will be more facile than accurate 😊
Nice video and the one who understands and takes it seriously shall end up saving a lot. But at the end apka paisa hai jo ap ki marzi. 😊 The video was great and not something u expect generally from a channel that reviews new cars.
I live in Dubai and have a small collection of cars at my disposal, mostly V6 and V8s ranging in age from 9-24 years old. My absolute favorite daily driver is a 2008 Lexus LS460, which I bought new in 2008 and is in excellent condition. It’s hard to give up on this car because it’s still a NA V8, super comfortable, and I have upgraded the stereo-phone integration with under $100 of Bluetooth adapters etc. I find a lot of new cars in terms of motorization, smoothness, longevity and user interface to be a step backwards from recent vehicles and modern classics. Even some of the newer designs are hideous (looking at you, BMW 7 Series). Very few brand new cars truly excite me. There is something satisfying about maintaining slightly older cars in top form and enhancing them slightly for tech and features.
My dad's been using a 2009 WagonR, clocked 1,10,000 kms. No safety no airbags not enough space. No financial issues as well. But still won't upgrade 😭😂😂
Wise advice! ❤️ You spoke my mind. Almost the conversation I had a week ago with a friend who was not liking the spare money he has in his account and wanted to upgrade his 3 year old car for newer (not better) features, disguising his want as a need. 😝 I think the same goes for motorcycles, too. Two wheelers are much lower on tech than cars. And things haven't radically changed in the past years other than the mandatory ABS.
My Swift Zxi is 12 years old. Runs perfectly well and i don't see the need to change it. With the ever increasing prices and insane traffic, i don't see the point of spending lakhs to "upgrade". Do I need a new car? No. Do I want to? Yes. I'd rather spend that money and buy a bigger motorcycle. 😀
Everything about movement! Philosophy too. But seriously, being able to make good decisions - thought through decisions - can make all the difference in the joy of automobiles. Hope that makes sense to you!
"Finally some automobile content in India where some efforts have been put into developing a great content and delivering a great content to the audience. Otherwise Indian automobile journalism space is now full with a bunch of vloggers who somehow discovered about cars one day and they thought they could deliver exceptional knowledge about cars. They produce crap videos with zero efforts into developing a good script or good cinematography. Because they know people gonna watch their sh*t videos anyway." But i guess, things are now changing for a good. 🙏
Now this is a rarity. Great sense into the common 'upgrade' factor. 🙂 Picked a first gen corolla and it is like clockwork. Just do the regular maintenance and nothing else for sane driving.
6:35. That 'all the best' and 'enjoy' weren't sincere at all. And they are not meant to be! Good job Kartik. Need more contributions like these instead of the daily videos claiming every launch to be 'game changer', 'segment best', 'segment killer', 'segment benchmarker' and what not.
Food for thought. Buy a small car for occasional city use and one off highway journeys. Use public transport otherwise. Saves a lot of hassle of not worrying about parking spots, scratches, chalaans, and the sheer tiredness. Buy a scooter instead and zip through if you're young. Learn from the Europeans. Push the government for better sustainable transportation infra
This mentality is what kept us glued to our 1.2 i10 for 11.5 years and 1.3L km. We finally felt the need to upgrade and got ourselves a 1.0 Slavia MT. Feels absolutely worth it!
The KTM engines, taken care of, last well. There are owners in this comment stream itself who’ve shared their experiences including people from 2013 with massive mileage. Shumi’s bike is at 30,000km now.
You haven't talked about peer pressure in the family. Just because everyone else is changing their cars , which is stupid thing to do in the 1st place, doesn't mean you should too. Buying a car is not an economically sensible thing to do. You pay 40-45% of the value of the car, in taxes to the Govt. To run the car, you pay another 60% tax on fuel. Add to that maintenance, insurance renewal and the fact that the value of the car goes to zero is an economical disaster.
Cars today if maintained well - Timely oil, filter change and driven with care, last 1 lakh plus kms without breaking a sweat. Appreciate the practical advice you are sharing with motorheads.

Wagon R 16 yrs , sold a year back only bcoz I was moving abroad temporarily and did not want the car to be left idle ...I would have pushed it to 20 yrs easily.
Nice one ! I did a very similar exercise and decided to stay put with my 2016 Polo 1.2L Petrol highline for next 3 years (just upgraded the infotainment to touch screen, and boy it looks fresh) .. 1) upgrade to next segment is very very costly and anything less than that, I feel Polo is one good stronggg machine (with abs, ebd and sensors) ! 2) hybrids/ev's, infact the govt has no clue either 3) good on the pockets to hold back before investing again ..
@@motorinc well the basic reason for look out was power .. 1) NA petrol feels too underpowered in highways these days with all the turbos out ther .. 2) Manual isn't helping my knees in chennai traffic .. but all the pros for keeping the good old polo out weighs the cons ..
@@SirKart haha yes but no .. as confused the reply is, I am staying put with the gorgeous and strong polo machine for next 3 years .. just added a beauty of new tyres .. polo all but new, sorted out!
Brother. With the Lords in power in GOI adding more and more ethanol into our petrol and still not reducing prices, we all know that ethanol burns all the rubber and plastic parts and tubes and hoses and to top it off, absorbs water too. So while I personally would love to hold on to my older car(s), what choice is there? End of the day it is only the tax paying public that are getting hit, body blow after body blow.
The E20 rules as they are right now (and with stuff that needs to be clarified in there as well) do make the prospect of keeping older cars harder than it needs to be
Great video, as always! We recently booked a top of the line XUV700 (AWD, luxury pack, the works), up from a first gen Polo! The Polo had no abs nor any airbags, so we felt like it was time for an upgrade in safety as well as features. Goddamn that waiting period tho. Also kinda iffy on the switch from petrol to diesel, but hey, that's the way life is sometimes.
Any suggestions on retrofitting to ev? I have a 2009 Corolla altis top variant auto. Have done only 71k kms and have another 9 months before it's going to reach its end of life for Delhi/ncr. So far i have found no one doing retrofitting and getting the same re registered as EV. Your insight will be highly appreciated on this as there are many like me in the same boat
Nice agreed. Don't want to upgrade but Delhi government has strange rules where a well maintained 10+ year old privately owned car is deemed more polluting than 15+ year old buses.
I own a 2017 New Dzire with 1.3L Diesel. It's still returning me about 23 kmpl when driven sensibly. Has two airbags, ABS & EBD standard. I plan to keep it for a long time, since there are no more affordable Diesel engine available. You make a lot of sense. I can now forward this to my friends as a proof of what I have been explaining them since a year
I always wonder who those people are who change their daily drivers every 3-4 years. On the 1st place, why do they even buy a car? They better settle for OLA/Uber.
YEAH nowadays people are just upgrading their cars Because they saw some youtubers said this car is vfm this that and they are upgrading cars every year so do i have too BUT i think car is a depreciating asset and Atleast use it for 10 years to extract maximum Value from it
My first car was a used 94 make Maruti 800 that my mom bought for us in 96. I had it with me till 2006 when I got a new Alto. Again sold the Alto in 2006 and got an XL6 now. This will be the last car that I buy and I'll be keeping it for atleast 15 years if govt policies don't force me to sell it in future. Swapping a car every 4-5 years isn't a carbon friendly measure like many tend to think. It does more harm for the environment and you also end up losing money as well in the process which you could have used for better things
could this thought process ...some of the points being discussed ..are the reasons for YOY auto sales going down... people waiting on the fence to see some thing disruptive or really NEW
Absolutely right... me and my wife we have Fiat Punto 2012 diesel and Ford Figo 2012 diesel... both driven approx 80K kms in 10 yrs...now in 2022 got new i20 petrol. While driving functionality wise Punto is best...Ford has lot of torque and i20 is light. Only problem with Punto is got lot of rust. Ford has suspension issues.
And if you have a car that's ten years old or more, it makes sense to keep it and keep it maintained for the reliability. New cars are getting ever more fragile, never forget that. Not only do they have more technical issues but they are much more difficult and expensive to repair. An older car with more simple technology can last you a very long time if properly taken care of.
And at Motorinc, arciful, you're welcome to disagree too! This is our perspective, it doesn't automatically have to be yours at all! Thanks for letting us know your perspective!
Man i hate that you made sense. I drive a 2016 crysta 2.8 and have lately been itching to change but somehow can't find a replacement or a reason to change it.
What about someone like me who owns a Ford. Love the car to bits. I had no plans of selling. And even today the ecosport is one of the best out there. But the company has left India. What to do in such a scenario ?
Subscribed this channel week ago .And watching it whenever have time. What a contact Man, and the. Way you put things is really joy. Whenever you guys are talking about machine seems like some meditation is going on. Amazing Kartikaye
I run one car twi utility and a small truck all are older then 20 years the it Costa more for rego and insurance then it ever dose to fix when they brake parts all of then have more then half a million kilometres on then the thing is when my bosses and family's cars brake down all new cars within 2 years it costs them big time and they always want to borrow mine so I rent one to them the outback made me more last year then it cost to run keep your newer cars I'll stick with mine
Recently payed off my Golf R. I have absolutely no intentions of selling it to anybody at all. Plan on driving it till the wheels fall off and then new get new wheels and repeat.
This is a Timely video. I have a Diesel Vitara Brezza VDI (Optional) 2016 Model. I drove only for 65,000Km, should I sell the car or just add new infotainment and features, etc and keep it for a few more years?
Keep! That’s an easy one! Couple of more years. Will be the right time to change too as many more options will be on the market then - EVs and hybrids. Thank you!
@@motorinc Thank you so much. The temptation always is so high to change but it's wise to keep it and give time for technology to evolve and come up with more options.
Have. 2014 SantaFe which is done about 90,000 and is just like brand new and my favourite vehicle amongst few plus it’s fully loaded with all features that are not standard even in cars of 2023. I am forced to sell it since I live in NCR, else would have used it forever as I like to keep my cars for longer duration. I have booked the IONIQ 5 and have decided to go electric to avoid a similar situation in few years due to regulations on ICE cars in NCR even if they are strong hybrid. I 101% agree with your very wise suggestion thru this episode.
I have been thinking about replacing my 2014 Fiesta classic diesel. But i couldn't find a car with an equal or better drive in 2023. When I find one, the budget is off the charts to my interest. So I decided to keep my Fiesta for a longer period. This video just cemented my thoughts. Thank you 🙏

Totally agree! if a person tries to replace a 2018 vehicle, for example, a titanium Ecosport Diesel with a new vehicle with similar specs, it will cost nothing less than 16L to 18L!!. Getting a new 4-wheeler in today's day and age has become an expensive affair.
Once again, kudos to MotorInc for voicing the reality and encouraging people to do an actual qualitative comparison.
Thanks Sai!
Not just expensive to the wallet but actually increases one's carbon foot print.
I own a 2018 swift zxi(new version) and I am itching to upgrade to a nexon/seltos. But your video made me rethink that my current car is as good as new. Gotta use it for a few more years.
@MotorInc, @Kartikeya, In a fast paced world, where we are either looking "excitement" ourselves in everything, every step of the way OR if we are being peer pressured or being socially engineered to look for "excitement " every step of the way, this was/is a great msg to sit back, relax, take a breath, take stock of what we have and what we actually need before just jumping into something just for the sake of it.
Great point of view. Thank you and keep it up.
thanks for destroying my hopes of finding a second-hand bargain with this video, Kartikeya. 🙃
GUYS PLEASE UPGRADE YOUR CARS RN. 😂🙏
Haha! With all due apologies and a huge laugh Maanav!
I've been saying this to my friends for 2 years. If you need a new car, look for a good used one. There's no sense in buying a new one considering taxes and depreciation. Is maddening! I always avoided used cars but now I'm for it. Also, I'd prefer a bs4 anyday
Well said!
Me driving 2006 Skoda Octavia and searching for reasons not to get a new car 😜😆😆
Way to go!
That's thoughtful advice. Anything spent in repairs now and then is much less than payments every month. I've had my '85 Cadillac Eldorado for 21yr. I've renewed as necessary things like tires, shocks, brakes. Engine, trans, interior are fine (at 145K mi). A sanding and paint will make it look brand new. I plan to keep it forever.
Wow! This is when we wish YT would allow you to post a pic!
Yes, it's a car, not a mobile phone...where are people getting so much disposable money from. Lot of people "upgrading" just coz their neighbour got a new one. The best way to be green is to use your "things" ( cars,bikes, electronics) to max possible extent. Decrease the demand, reduce consumption , see the prices go down, see the change in attitude of car dealers when demand goes down, and see how much you can save, by not upgrading every now and then, use that to explore yourself, your surroundings, donate a little.

Excellent coverage by Kartik. I would like to add one point. We are almost at the last generation of IC engines. So either wait till EV infra and cost is stable say, another 5-6 years or buy the latest IC engine now and enjoy till its full lifetime.
💯✌🏽
@@motorincwhat is the answer for that question?
Funny enough, I was saying the same thing to my friend last week. I own a Baleno (Nov 2016), that has clocked just 40K in 7 years, and recently spent 60K on making it look like shining a newly wed bride. So why upgrade, and ditch your wife?
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Restored my 2005 Swift after several years of neglect. Thought of selling it while I purchased a new creta. Now after a new paint job, alloys and overall detailing, I love more than my new car!
♥️
Me seeing this video with an i20 which has barely done 40k km in 11 years 😂😂
Haha.. that’s in mint condition then!
I have a 2012 Brio which i bought in 2022. I upgraded by adding Focal speakers, Touch screen infotainment, sensors, rear cam , Doors sound proofing. This tiny looking car feels very peppy and fun to drive.
Wow! That's serious audio-upgrades!
Wow..n i in 2024 am thinkin of sellin my 2012 brio. No concerns really…12 years of great companionship across 3 metros and 1lac kms.
My car is from 2011, it's been properly maintained and I see no reason to change it. It does everything I need and it runs like new.
💯
Quality Content builds community. Love how someone is not just gunning for views, but vertical education. Love it. Great work guys!
Thank you Dipin!
Because of this big transition phase of automotive industry. I have bought a 2013 Toyota etios . It had 1.37L kms to it. And i put on 10k on it in a year. I am understanding my user pattern or more likely settling my user pattern to choose the right car for me in the future . I did not want take any new EMI. I had planned for an EV . But decided to wait for some good range on it. But still hesitant to change to ev as I have clocked only 10k kms on the car I a year.
Bought a new car last year. Urban Cruiser automatic. Wanting to own an automatic was the very first reason. I saved enough money over few years which helped in not taking a loan. Tried a few cars and finally settled for this one. Bought it just before it was discontinued by Toyota. Very happy with the purchase. The engine is peppy, the driving is super smooth and the auto gearbox is such a charming one!! Few things could be improved but not too bothered about them! Very happy with my decision!
Supercool that you're happy with your car!
Have a 2012 FIAT Punto 1.3 Multijet Emotion model. Absolutely reliable with strong build quality and fun to drive as well. Have NO plans to replace it at any cost and any time.
The Punto was loved by many and even today, people like you have kept the car's legacy alive. Kudos to you!
Karthik , I have been following you since the time you were in Autocar, You are the epitome of Freedom and Clarity in thinking and , Yes , You are A TRUE MOTOR JOURNALIST!
Thank you Mayur! ♥️
Just before the pandemic, I had bought a spanking new Skoda Octavia L&K and post pandemic,i bought a new Ignis as a second car for running errands which i couldn’t use skoda for peacefully.After buying ignis, my mind started playing games wrt finances and i felt the urge to sell off the Octavia as I wasn’t using it much and the car was undergoing a lot of depreciation. So ultimately I landed up with only the Ignis in my garage which i would have never bought as a primary car. Im still using the ignis daily and m enjoying it a lot. I dont have to worry about parking it anywhere, about door dings, about insurance premium costs and other things things that we associate with expensive luxury cars. Still, I sometimes feel that I need a car equivalent to the Octavia or above it to satisfy my ego, however, the Ignis does all the tasks that an Octavia would, definitely except having those extra features obviously, but which would be hardly ever used. I realised that the cars we purchase today are usually more for status than for actual requirement.
I got a 13-year Fabia (Diesel). Going strong. Love driving it each day. And plan to keep it for more years to come (20 yrs max 😊)
But I have the exact same reasons for keeping my car as you said Kartik. Being environment friendly is not just about buying EVs or cleaner tech vehicles.
Thanks again! Glad to hear about your Fabia! It gets our attention on the road even today.
Didn't know about your channel, got this as a recommendation on YT while researching for a new (first) car for my brother-in-law. And while researching and test-driving some of them, the not-so-rational part of my brain asked if it is time to upgrade my 2018 petrol MT Nexon now that it just completed 5 years?
I am glad that the rational part of my brain immediately kicked in and made me realize that I have barely used it (29k on odo) and both my family and I absolutely love its ride quality and comfort and barring a few new-age features, it doesn't lack any necessary ones!
As I question the mind-reading abilities of YT/Google, I was pleasantly surprised to see this video it made me immediately subscribe to the channel and binge on 5 other videos.
Thank you for putting out quality content, this is such a refreshing change from other automobile reviewers!!
Thank you so joining us here at MotorInc!
My dad's 15 year old santro works like a charm to this day. Just had to get work done on the suspension and tyres. If properly taken care of they will serve a very long time. Finally upgraded to a crysta a few years ago and the leap is massive in terms of space power and safety
Oh wow! Santro ❤️!
"getting anything safer" is exactly what makes me think to replace my 5 year old Baleno to a ncap 5* rated compact suv.
Not a bad plan. Remember to actually read up on how 5* ratings are awarded too. Otherwise some conclusions you’ll reach will be more facile than accurate 😊
@@motorinc thanks for the reply. Can you please make a detailed video on this topic 🙂
Nice video and the one who understands and takes it seriously shall end up saving a lot. But at the end apka paisa hai jo ap ki marzi. 😊
The video was great and not something u expect generally from a channel that reviews new cars.
Thank you so much 😀
I live in Dubai and have a small collection of cars at my disposal, mostly V6 and V8s ranging in age from 9-24 years old. My absolute favorite daily driver is a 2008 Lexus LS460, which I bought new in 2008 and is in excellent condition. It’s hard to give up on this car because it’s still a NA V8, super comfortable, and I have upgraded the stereo-phone integration with under $100 of Bluetooth adapters etc. I find a lot of new cars in terms of motorization, smoothness, longevity and user interface to be a step backwards from recent vehicles and modern classics. Even some of the newer designs are hideous (looking at you, BMW 7 Series). Very few brand new cars truly excite me. There is something satisfying about maintaining slightly older cars in top form and enhancing them slightly for tech and features.
Noice! Absolutely kicked to hear about your efforts to keep them going! All the best! And thanks for sharing your garage with us!
My dad's been using a 2009 WagonR, clocked 1,10,000 kms. No safety no airbags not enough space. No financial issues as well. But still won't upgrade 😭😂😂
🤣 Parents!
Today's news cars...below 25 lakhs
Made by robots...and SQUEAK like crazy.
Squeak? How do you mean?
Drive it to eternity.
💯
Have a 2010 Innova Diesel have clocked just 80 k…Planning to keep it until government bans it😊
❤️❤️❤️
Wise advice! ❤️
You spoke my mind. Almost the conversation I had a week ago with a friend who was not liking the spare money he has in his account and wanted to upgrade his 3 year old car for newer (not better) features, disguising his want as a need. 😝
I think the same goes for motorcycles, too. Two wheelers are much lower on tech than cars. And things haven't radically changed in the past years other than the mandatory ABS.
Hello! What has your friend decided? 😃
@@motorinc I hope we'll be upgrading our motorcycles next year. I've had my eyes on the baby GS for some time now. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
My Swift Zxi is 12 years old. Runs perfectly well and i don't see the need to change it. With the ever increasing prices and insane traffic, i don't see the point of spending lakhs to "upgrade".
Do I need a new car? No.
Do I want to? Yes.
I'd rather spend that money and buy a bigger motorcycle. 😀
Great plan Prad!
This channel is becoming more philosophical rather than an automotive channel.
Everything about movement! Philosophy too. But seriously, being able to make good decisions - thought through decisions - can make all the difference in the joy of automobiles. Hope that makes sense to you!
"Finally some automobile content in India where some efforts have been put into developing a great content and delivering a great content to the audience.
Otherwise Indian automobile journalism space is now full with a bunch of vloggers who somehow discovered about cars one day and they thought they could deliver exceptional knowledge about cars.
They produce crap videos with zero efforts into developing a good script or good cinematography. Because they know people gonna watch their sh*t videos anyway."
But i guess, things are now
changing for a good. 🙏
Thanks OA!
Now this is a rarity. Great sense into the common 'upgrade' factor. 🙂 Picked a first gen corolla and it is like clockwork. Just do the regular maintenance and nothing else for sane driving.
Thanks GS! That's exactly right!
6:35. That 'all the best' and 'enjoy' weren't sincere at all. And they are not meant to be! Good job Kartik. Need more contributions like these instead of the daily videos claiming every launch to be 'game changer', 'segment best', 'segment killer', 'segment benchmarker' and what not.
Haha! Glad that hit the spot for you 009raptor!
Another reason to add to that list for me was that the 15yr life of car was almost completed and I wanted a new and a bigger hatch.
Food for thought. Buy a small car for occasional city use and one off highway journeys. Use public transport otherwise. Saves a lot of hassle of not worrying about parking spots, scratches, chalaans, and the sheer tiredness. Buy a scooter instead and zip through if you're young. Learn from the Europeans. Push the government for better sustainable transportation infra
True! The Government does need to get serious about the quality of public transportation!
This mentality is what kept us glued to our 1.2 i10 for 11.5 years and 1.3L km. We finally felt the need to upgrade and got ourselves a 1.0 Slavia MT. Feels absolutely worth it!
Thanks for sharing! How’s it going with the Slavia?
same i10 almost 13 year old. I am gonna wait till 2025 for an upgrade as new tech will have better options by then.
Sir this is a question for Shumi
What’s the kilometre ridden on his Duke 390 Bs3
Can you please make a video about KTM Engines Life
The KTM engines, taken care of, last well. There are owners in this comment stream itself who’ve shared their experiences including people from 2013 with massive mileage.
Shumi’s bike is at 30,000km now.
Karthikeya you really blew my mind.... An amazing yet practical points to consider in decision making process.... Thanks a ton bro
Glad you liked it! ❤️
You haven't talked about peer pressure in the family. Just because everyone else is changing their cars , which is stupid thing to do in the 1st place, doesn't mean you should too. Buying a car is not an economically sensible thing to do. You pay 40-45% of the value of the car, in taxes to the Govt. To run the car, you pay another 60% tax on fuel. Add to that maintenance, insurance renewal and the fact that the value of the car goes to zero is an economical disaster.
💯
Cars today if maintained well - Timely oil, filter change and driven with care, last 1 lakh plus kms without breaking a sweat. Appreciate the practical advice you are sharing with motorheads.

Just talking about what we would with friends. 🤝
Wagon R 16 yrs , sold a year back only bcoz I was moving abroad temporarily and did not want the car to be left idle ...I would have pushed it to 20 yrs easily.
💗
Nice one ! I did a very similar exercise and decided to stay put with my 2016 Polo 1.2L Petrol highline for next 3 years (just upgraded the infotainment to touch screen, and boy it looks fresh) .. 1) upgrade to next segment is very very costly and anything less than that, I feel Polo is one good stronggg machine (with abs, ebd and sensors) ! 2) hybrids/ev's, infact the govt has no clue either 3) good on the pockets to hold back before investing again ..
Aye, aye!
What were you looking at though?
@@motorinc well the basic reason for look out was power .. 1) NA petrol feels too underpowered in highways these days with all the turbos out ther .. 2) Manual isn't helping my knees in chennai traffic .. but all the pros for keeping the good old polo out weighs the cons ..
@@vigneshs4595 Okay, so you hadn’t narrowed down on anything then.. less heartache.. 😆
@@SirKart haha yes but no .. as confused the reply is, I am staying put with the gorgeous and strong polo machine for next 3 years .. just added a beauty of new tyres .. polo all but new, sorted out!
Brother. With the Lords in power in GOI adding more and more ethanol into our petrol and still not reducing prices, we all know that ethanol burns all the rubber and plastic parts and tubes and hoses and to top it off, absorbs water too. So while I personally would love to hold on to my older car(s), what choice is there? End of the day it is only the tax paying public that are getting hit, body blow after body blow.
The E20 rules as they are right now (and with stuff that needs to be clarified in there as well) do make the prospect of keeping older cars harder than it needs to be
Great video, as always! We recently booked a top of the line XUV700 (AWD, luxury pack, the works), up from a first gen Polo! The Polo had no abs nor any airbags, so we felt like it was time for an upgrade in safety as well as features. Goddamn that waiting period tho. Also kinda iffy on the switch from petrol to diesel, but hey, that's the way life is sometimes.
Got the same XUV a month back and completed 4.5k. Wait will be worth it. :)
Congrats Ratnadeep!
All the best Omi!
Any suggestions on retrofitting to ev? I have a 2009 Corolla altis top variant auto. Have done only 71k kms and have another 9 months before it's going to reach its end of life for Delhi/ncr. So far i have found no one doing retrofitting and getting the same re registered as EV. Your insight will be highly appreciated on this as there are many like me in the same boat
We do not believe this is a good idea. We would not advise you to proceed with this.
This is what it means when passion meets common sense... Awesome shumii and Kartikeya
Thank you!
Nice agreed. Don't want to upgrade but Delhi government has strange rules where a well maintained 10+ year old privately owned car is deemed more polluting than
15+ year old buses.
The buses will also disappear rapidly 🤣
I own a 2017 New Dzire with 1.3L Diesel. It's still returning me about 23 kmpl when driven sensibly. Has two airbags, ABS & EBD standard.
I plan to keep it for a long time, since there are no more affordable Diesel engine available.
You make a lot of sense. I can now forward this to my friends as a proof of what I have been explaining them since a year
2017, it’s only in its teens then! 😁 Wish you many awesome kms!
I always wonder who those people are who change their daily drivers every 3-4 years. On the 1st place, why do they even buy a car? They better settle for OLA/Uber.
Haha!
YEAH nowadays people are just upgrading their cars Because they saw some youtubers said this car is vfm this that and they are upgrading cars every year so do i have too
BUT i think car is a depreciating asset and Atleast use it for 10 years to extract maximum Value from it
Yes, that's the right way to think about it
My first car was a used 94 make Maruti 800 that my mom bought for us in 96. I had it with me till 2006 when I got a new Alto. Again sold the Alto in 2006 and got an XL6 now. This will be the last car that I buy and I'll be keeping it for atleast 15 years if govt policies don't force me to sell it in future.
Swapping a car every 4-5 years isn't a carbon friendly measure like many tend to think. It does more harm for the environment and you also end up losing money as well in the process which you could have used for better things
💯
could this thought process ...some of the points being discussed ..are the reasons for YOY auto sales going down... people waiting on the fence to see some thing disruptive or really NEW
We certainly hope so! 🤣
It's like ur smartphone...You don't need to change it..but overtime, you will get bored of it.
💯
Absolutely right... me and my wife we have Fiat Punto 2012 diesel and Ford Figo 2012 diesel... both driven approx 80K kms in 10 yrs...now in 2022 got new i20 petrol. While driving functionality wise Punto is best...Ford has lot of torque and i20 is light. Only problem with Punto is got lot of rust. Ford has suspension issues.
🔥🫰🏽
What you thing same applies to motorcycles. If you have a bs4 model bike that is only 4 years old, should you go for a bs6 or bs7 model?
Depends on if you’re bored or not. 😊
And if you have a car that's ten years old or more, it makes sense to keep it and keep it maintained for the reliability. New cars are getting ever more fragile, never forget that. Not only do they have more technical issues but they are much more difficult and expensive to repair. An older car with more simple technology can last you a very long time if properly taken care of.
Great point!
I certainly disagree with you , points you mentioned are just way of avoiding it. Every vehicle has certain life and it requires upgrade.
And at Motorinc, arciful, you're welcome to disagree too! This is our perspective, it doesn't automatically have to be yours at all! Thanks for letting us know your perspective!
Man i hate that you made sense. I drive a 2016 crysta 2.8 and have lately been itching to change but somehow can't find a replacement or a reason to change it.
That’s a good kind of hate, right?
A car journalist advising not to buy a car. Great. Thats what i want to hear. 8 years old ford ecosport diesel owner in NCR.
🤣♥️
Most of the people buy a new car due to peer pressure
I am planning to go for BMW 310 Gs only concern a new model might release very soon. But no confirmation so waiting or buying is a problem now
We don't have any information on future updates for the 310GS 🤷🏽♂️
What about someone like me who owns a Ford. Love the car to bits. I had no plans of selling. And even today the ecosport is one of the best out there. But the company has left India. What to do in such a scenario ?
There's only two choices. Keep it as long as it runs well and parts are easy to find. When it becomes too much, you will have to move on
Pretty good. Except the transition from a hatchback to anything else is a downgrade. Long live the hot hatch!
♥️😊
Upgrade to an older vehicle that you can work on.1980’s models seem to work out the best.
Like what? What vehicles do you suggest?
Subscribed this channel week ago .And watching it whenever have time. What a contact Man, and the. Way you put things is really joy. Whenever you guys are talking about machine seems like some meditation is going on. Amazing Kartikaye
Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc vibe, Kundan!
I run one car twi utility and a small truck all are older then 20 years the it Costa more for rego and insurance then it ever dose to fix when they brake parts all of then have more then half a million kilometres on then the thing is when my bosses and family's cars brake down all new cars within 2 years it costs them big time and they always want to borrow mine so I rent one to them the outback made me more last year then it cost to run keep your newer cars I'll stick with mine
Thanks for sharing Jason!
i was going to buy a car, but instead i fixed my granpsa car for 25 dollars its a 1989 car.
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Going from my beloved 14 year old wagon r to an amaze automatic. That is what you call an update
😊💯
Recently payed off my Golf R. I have absolutely no intentions of selling it to anybody at all. Plan on driving it till the wheels fall off and then new get new wheels and repeat.
♥️
Just humble one suggestion, all the video thumbnails are so similar that I keep ignoring them while swiping.
Thank you for taking the time out to share your feedback! Noted!
6 mins of, your existing 4-5 year old car is better than whats in the market at almost double the budget
That's a wonderful summary Ankur!
Very apt topic to have brought up Kartikeya!
Completely agree... :-)
♥️ Thanks Vaibhav! Good to see you in our comments!
Great video, Kartikeya sounded like JerryRigEverything 😀
🖖🏽🤣
My village is filled with 25 year old 800,omni, altos ,santros,
Poor families are buying them after they build a house.
Exactly!
This is a Timely video. I have a Diesel Vitara Brezza VDI (Optional) 2016 Model. I drove only for 65,000Km, should I sell the car or just add new infotainment and features, etc and keep it for a few more years?
Keep! That’s an easy one! Couple of more years. Will be the right time to change too as many more options will be on the market then - EVs and hybrids. Thank you!
@@motorinc Thank you so much. The temptation always is so high to change but it's wise to keep it and give time for technology to evolve and come up with more options.
What about first time buyers? Should they wait too? And how many years
First time buyers should not wait. There's no reason to. You guys should be enjoying driving as soon as possible!
Have. 2014 SantaFe which is done about 90,000 and is just like brand new and my favourite vehicle amongst few plus it’s fully loaded with all features that are not standard even in cars of 2023. I am forced to sell it since I live in NCR, else would have used it forever as I like to keep my cars for longer duration. I have booked the IONIQ 5 and have decided to go electric to avoid a similar situation in few years due to regulations on ICE cars in NCR even if they are strong hybrid.
I 101% agree with your very wise suggestion thru this episode.
Thank you for sharing your car story with us! All the best for the IONIQ - would love to know how it goes! Also, thanks for the encouragement!
Upgraded from a 2015 Wagon R to a iMT Kis Seltos.
Now that’s an upgrade! Congratulations!
I have been thinking about replacing my 2014 Fiesta classic diesel. But i couldn't find a car with an equal or better drive in 2023. When I find one, the budget is off the charts to my interest.
So I decided to keep my Fiesta for a longer period. This video just cemented my thoughts. Thank you 🙏
🤜🏽🤛🏽
