Do or Die

I liked the budget of the car, looks, mileage and servicing and maintenance, also the interior and speed of the car, when I went for bye they were taking care of me and carefully they delivered my car.

Wonderful experience

A great driving experience I had with the Jeep Compass. Either off-road or smooth road, you will feel great comfort next to luxury. Smooth drive even on rough stretches. Loaded with a variety of features.

2023 Tata Harrier Facelift First Drive Review

By Jay Shah14 Oct 2023

We have finally driven the new Tata Harrier to tell you about our driving impressions.

Skoda Octavia

By Charles Pennefather26 Sep 2013

A dozen years ago, the Indian car market didn’t have the choices it does today. The Honda City was the car we all aspired to, and those of us that couldn’t, got an Esteem. In an environment like this, an unknown Czech brand launched its German-engineered car, and everyone was stunned not just by the quality it offered at its price, but its fuel efficiency on the highway as well. The Octavia deservedly earned its reputation over the years; the follow-up, the Laura never really did grab the imagination of the car-buying public as much. Now Skoda has decided to get back to its roots and put the Octavia name back where it belongs. They claim that “The Legend Is Back”. Well, is it?
