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.

Under power Petrol. Very Costly, Mix of Box and Bubble Shape.

If you Excessive Money to waste, do some charity for under privelaged of the society than buying Jetta. Petrol engine is just too boring. Diesle Engine same as sister Skoda LAURA but at much better price.Costy of owning and maintenance can make anyone bankrupt. If you want to look different on road, go for FIAT LINEA, at half the price but equally comfortable. Easy on wallet in running and maintenance, vert attractive styling. LINEA is much more powerful than, it looks on paper. 1.3 MJD is similar to Vista, Palio & Swift but re-tuned for delivering much more excitement. Petrol is not given much consideration due to DIESEL version BUT LINEA 1.4 is steller performer. At par with ,may be better than Verna, SX4 etc. Just try it at Tata-FIAT outletImage of being GERMANNothing Exciting

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.

Diesel Dilemma

We've always been a fan of the VW Jetta diesel ever since the day we got behind the wheel of one. However we were really smitten when we spent a little more quality time with the car when it became part of our test vehicle fleet for a short while and we were able to put some actual miles on it. So understandably we were quite excited when we were told that we could get our hand on the new updated Jetta with a 2.0-litre common rail diesel, which replaces the 1.9-litre Pump Duse diesel engine. This is incidentally the same powerplant that makes and appearance on the Skoda Laura manual transmission variant.

Our first long-termer has gone back!

Volkswagen let us have a Jetta for a fuel-efficiency run, and it ended up spending two months with
