The convenience plus package includes either 5 years or 50,000 km, whichever occurs first. You can calculate number of services based on your annual mileage.

Yes, better to get anti rust coating. Adds a layer of protection to underbody.

Hi,

Anyone here test-driven and compared the Seltos GT line with Taigun 1.5 GT?

I understand the Seltos is packed to the gill with features inside the cabin, but I'm specifically looking for driving experience reviews (engine/gearbox etc.,)

I currently own a Polo 1.2 GT TSI and am looking at either of these two for a possible upgrade.

Thanks

My daughter was trying to open/close the sun roof a few days back and since then the one touch stopped working.

Faced the same issue during the delivery itself.
In my case, I was able to rectify the same using the recalibration technique you mentioned, which is available on YouTube.

On a lighter note, if thickness of doors + being heavy was a measure of structural integrity, the Amby and Premier Padmini were jail safe cars.

Interestingly, from various quoted sources, the kerb weight of the petrol Padmini is approx 900 kg, and that of the Ambassador is approx 1150 kg. So pretty much average or even lighter than their contemporary equivalents.

What would it cost to replace the spare tyre or frame (same as the other 4 tires)? Did anyone do it?

Also, the service guy said the new frame can't be clamped (like a spare) in the boot. It will shake or make noise on the hump. Is it true?

Thanks

Haven't done it, nor intend to do. I like to have my car as close to factory specifications as possible. That is just me.

The spare tyre is good for 120kmph run (it is pasted on the spare tyre itself). This is more than enough even for our highways.

Not sure about rattling part of a new wheel rim and tyre, but it is a possibility, as the existing one is tightly fitted in the space provided and with a screw clamp.

One a side note, the screw clamp is so tightly factory fitted that it might be a good idea to loosen it once at home and tighten again rather than to struggle on road when one has to change the tyre for the first time.

I just took the 3D floor mats and boot mat, rain visors, bumper corner protector and rear sun shade. Mudflaps and steering wheel cover come in HTX as standard.

I thought the car is manufactured with corrosion protection making this additional anti rust coating, unnecessary.

2. Battery life will definitely take a hit but that's the same whether you use Carlinkit or inbuilt wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay.

Just curious, might be a noob question, why would battery life take a hit when the phone is not being charged continuously ?

Your colour choice is awesome. Looking great!

Question for you! I got the GTX+ and want to replace the tyres. Where do you get 225/55 R18?

I only see these tyres on the market. None of which I'm too keen on. I want to get continentals or perhaps Yokohama

I got the 7D mats from Kia itself for my Seltos. I would say they are pretty good so far, no issues faced. Color also goes well with my GTX+ interiors.
