Pit Stop

Some memories huh! Agreed, a trip to the dentists would mean nightmares for a whole month but this father- son duo came up with a really bizarre way of avoiding that drive.

9000kms, 14 days, 3 countries, a broken foot and one incredible soul CS Santosh the first Indian ever to participate and to finish the most dangerous race in the world The Dakar Rally 2015.

This cat by Jaguar is a daring one and by that we mean an absolute daredevil. We have seen car launches on boats, ships, on land etc but this time Jaguar decided to push the envelope a lot further. How?

Just because you have a big car, does not mean you own the road! Aaa you might want to take those words back if you had a big mean-eyed, bulked up menacing looking car on your tail. Apparently some cars do own the road, purely by their presence alone.

I remember my childhood when I used to literally run behind cars, just to listen their exhaust note. While there were few modified cars which were quite decent to listen to, I used to go berserk behind sports cars. But as luck would have it, I am now in a job which allows me to be around some extremely cool cars and bikes. My days of running behind cars are long over.

Just like the name, if you love things to be short and sweet and have been waiting long and impatiently to own a beauty of a car, then the MINI is right up your alley. Once you set aside the depth of your pockets, getting to own a MINI will be just like another good investment.

Now, we know most of the car manufacturers in India believe their target audience rests between the ages of 20-40 mostly. This target demographic is open to change, loves experimentation and is willing to forgo a few set of luxuries for another few features. However, when we pondered on the question of cars that were suitable for senior citizens in India, we found that the automotive industry has somewhat not given it a thought. But, digging through the ranks we came up some five cars that do cater to the needs of the older generation. The younger generation definitely loves these and so we selected these cars based on features we thought would be most senior citizens-friendly, including things like affordable prices, easy to use controls, comfort, levels of ingress and egress, safety, easy to park, a good ride and the safety aspect.

The Indian automobile market is now brimming with many different car brands. For an Indian consumer there are more than 700 different variants of cars available in India. And as more cars are being added every month to tap the potential of the growing Indian market, it is imperative that the second hand car market grows in tandem. If you are not in a mood to buy a new car to stay away from high depreciation, utilitarian reason or simply because of limited budget, we at CarWale have brought you a list of top 10 researched second hand cars from our website.

The Indian compact car regulations are unique to our country. In a roughly summarised version they state that a car being less than 4000mm with a diesel engine having a displacement of less than 1500cc or a petrol engine having a displacement of less than 1200cc will slot into a different tax bracket as compared to vehicles that do not comply with these guidelines.
