Tata Altroz Racing Long Term Review – First Report
The Altroz Race has been in our test fleet for more than two months, and the car has only covered about 75 kilometers. Yes, brand new, all plastics still there. What a joy it is to unpack a car and experience the “new car smell”. The Racer clocks up very fast kilometers and has now reached 2800 kilometers. Tata Altroz is not new to us. The hatchback has been on the market since 2019 and has received a few updates over the years. The Racer is Tata's attempt to make it a little sportier. I started using the Altroz Racer on my daily commute to work and the first thing that attracted me was the clutch, which has a long throw and a very sharp release point. The manual gearbox is also not smooth and feels notchy. Tata really should offer an automatic gearbox here. Other than the manual transmission, I don't find any major downsides to the Racer. In…

Hyundai Exter Long Term Review – Second Report
It was a shoot day and we went out in a Jimny and an Exter, I drove the former first, but then I realized I hadn't driven an Exter in a few weeks, so I took the Hyundai on the road back from the shoot. I really like the Jimny because of its ride quality on Mumbai roads and it's my favorite car in our fleet, but driving a small hatchback like the Exter also made me realize how valuable it is to have one on our roads How easy life is in a compact and comfortable car.The Exter's ride quality is supple and its suspension is quiet. It doesn't feel too busy and the car is super easy to drive. Even after owning it for 4 months, I still don't like the look of the rear, but I appreciate how Hyundai manages to leave so much headroom. The interior of the Exter is similar to the Grand i10 NIOS…
MG Comet EV Long Term Review, September 2024 Report
Life is slow sometimes and crazy sometimes. Life has been a little crazy for me over the past month, which means running around and not having a lot of free time. While I prefer to keep my right foot light, I haven't had that luxury the last few days. Life is slow sometimes and crazy sometimes. Life has been a little crazy for me over the past month, which means running around and not having a lot of free time. While I prefer to keep my right foot light, I haven't had that luxury the last few days. The good thing about all this running around is that I was able to see how the Comet and its batteries responded to greater pressure. Also read: Kia Tasman pickup truck launched globally with two powertrain options, triple screens, ADAS and more Early on, I stuck almost entirely to Eco mode and easily got a real-world range of nearly 150 kilometers per…
MG Comet Long Term Review – Second Report
The MG Comet has been in our long-term fleet for over six months. In the first report, I mentioned how our small long-term aircraft attracts attention, making it less suitable for those who prefer to fly under the radar. Comet has since flown several kilometers in and around Mumbai, providing a range of new insights. We also have its main rival, the Tata Tiago EV, in our long-term fleet, which helps us make some interesting comparisons over time.We've established that the Comet is easy to park, maneuver, and has excellent air conditioning, but its ride quality leaves something to be desired. With a driving range of over 8,000 kilometers, there is a lot to discuss, especially in terms of range and charging.After a full charge, with regenerative braking set to "heavy," my range has been around 160-180 kilometers. Of course, this depends on flow and throttle input. Unfortunately, the Comet doesn't provide any real-time efficiency readings, so you're kind of…
Maruti Jimny Long Term Review – 1 Month Report
One fine day, Maruti Suzuki decided to hand over the Jimny AT to me for a month, the timing was perfect as the monsoon was at its peak in Mumbai and the roads were also at their peak (which were in bad condition). I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and use the Jimny as my daily commuter car, and boy is it awesome!I've always been a big fan of the Jimny's suspension. Ride quality on bad roads is excellent. I hit multiple bad stretches of road on my way to work, and I never had to slow down when I was driving the Jimny. I find the compact size also very useful when zipping around tight scenarios, but small isn't always better, because despite this SUV's limited footprint, the turning radius is actually wider than the Toyota Fortuner, which means It's not easy to turn when you need to, and the Jimny's heavy steering also requires more twist…
