| ![]() I guess era of smooth and reliable Hyundai diesel ended with the fluidic Verna, all new Verna and Creta's reviews are filled with both minor and major issues. Glad to see Skoda here, German cars have amazing mechanical reliability, electrical issues is what keeps them where they are. |

| ![]() 2010 Punto Emotion, 8.4 years and still counting, engine is getting better with time like fine old wine. Taken me all over from Nepal to LEH to Sachpass and the list is long. After Addition of Laura, Punto is sparingly used only for local commute. |

I own a Diesel version , 1.2 lacs is too less for this engine to go for overhaul. Couple of my friends are about to touch 3 lac kms mark with no signs of ageing. There must be some other reason for such early overhaul else FIAT Multi-jets are most robust and can withstand up-to 3-4Lacs mark easily, provided they are kept well. I get my car serviced at every 10,000 kms, however FIAT says 15,000 kms is service interval. | |

| ![]() So i recently did the following road trip in my 5 series. Mumbai - Ajmer - Delhi - Mussoorie - Lansdowne - Nainital - Jim Corbett - Jaipur - Mumbai. It’s just a perception that german cars are delicate, this car was absolute fun to drive and also it never let me down. I did flat out highways, and also bad village roads, she fared well everywhere. Attaching a few pictures. Current odo reading stands at 556xx kms in 2 years and 7 months of ownership. Last edited by GTO : 10th December 2018 at 08:42. Reason: PM coming up |

| ![]() Thanks for sharing Anurag. Off-topic: That lady is driving 900 kms every single day for the last 5 years to reach there. Man! That is insane driving. |

| ![]() Our hand me down Maruti Zen LXi 2001 model just completed 229167 kms! In the hills, we use it as a beater car, used for local runs and to haul small dispatches to Shimla (180kms round trip). It's all stock, except for a cheap Bluetooth unit, and a small sub in the rear. it runs smoothly and climbs up steep inclines. We hope to keep it around as long as we can. Power front windows, rear wiper, AC & heater all still work, and the car has only required regular servicing so far. ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Below is the Odo reading, as my Innova went for a clutch replacement. Could have easily used the clutch for another 10k or so kms, but I was worried about wearing out the flywheel. I had just begun to notice the clutch slipping mildly in 3rd gear while accelerating. A bit disappointed I couldn’t stretch the clutch till 200k. Overall the Innova is now in its 7th ownership year and I plan to keep it for the foreseeable future. Last edited by rrsteer : 10th December 2018 at 13:56. |

Freeway miles can be covered at an average speed of 50mph - this means driving at a steady 70-75mph and taking appropriate breaks. So that is about 11-12 hours of driving in a day. In a country like the USA, this is perfectly possible. I have done this myself on occasion. I doubt Hyundai would have made this film without the appropriate background checks. If it turns out to be fake, the fallout and damage to the brand will be almost irreparable. | |
