toyota fortuner accident Q&A Review
What are some of the unsolved mysteries of India?
Mystery No.1: Mysterious deaths in NTR Family: Background: ,Nandamuri Harikrishna is son of Andhra Pradesh ex-cm and Telugu film actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, also called as Sr.NTR. Sr.NTR is the founder of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which is now managed by Chandrababu Naidu. Harikrishna is the father of Tollywood hero jr.NTR and his other children were Kalyan Ram and Janaki Ram. Incidents: 10 Years back when during the time of elections, Jr.NTR is campaigning for TDP party. When he is returning back to celebrate ugadi festival with his family, he met with an accident near Suryapet. Jr NTR injured badly in the accident. In the year 2014, Eldest of son of Harikrishna and brother of Jr.NTR, Janakiram has died in car accident near akupamula cross roads. Next, few days back on August 29, Nandamuri Harikrishna has died in the fatal car accident. Mr. Harikrishna was driving a Toyota Fortuner and was going to Kavali in Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh to attend a wedding. The SUV hit a road divider on the Nalgonda highway near Anaparthi and flipped over several times. Harikrishna is a skilled driver. 30 years back, When Sr.NTR has started political party, Harikrishna has drived for 75,000 kms for his father election campaign. Many People could not believe how such skilled driver has died in car accident. Astrology: Mr.Harikrishna has been warned by a Siddhanthi ( Hindu Astrologer) about ,Vahana Gandam ,(danger by vehicle). Harikrishna has not believed in astrology first, but after death of his son Janakiram, he used to take precautions, he used to travel by vehicles driven by others. But at this time, Harikrishna has tried to drive only for one hour, just for helping that driving person. 23 23 Car Number: Hari Krishna’s vehicle number was AP28BW 2323 when he met accident, while Janaki Ram’s car number was AP29BD 2323 when he met accident 4 years back. The number of both vehicles is 23 23. Other incidents: In 1962, Sr NTR has acted in the film ,Daksha Yagnam ,as lord shiva, soon after completion of this film, one of his son Ramakrishna has died. It took long time for recovering for Sr NTR from this incident. Later NTR is not seen in many movies as Lord Shiva. It remains a mystery, how people of single family are effected by such a bad luck. Mystery No.2: The power of Muhurth This is another mystery. Muhurth is a good time according to Hindu Astrology, to do any new thing like marriages and constructing buildings etc. This is a mysterious historical incident. This incident has came as a drama in Doordarshan Telugu, 15 years ago. This incident gives us information about the (lost) science and technology of ancient India. This is supposed to happen during Kakatiya dynasty rule, in Telangana region, around 11th century. Historical fact is, Kakatiya rulers were known for doing many irrigation related activities, like constructing tanks and water bodies. Telangana Government has named their irrigation project as Mission Kakatiya. Once there is no much rainfall during the time of a Kakatiya king (unknown name). Then the king calls a Pandit (Vedic scholar) and asks for a solution. Then that pandit says, i have one solution to increase rainfall, for implementing it send a brave person for me as an assistant, for doing some work at a certain day and night time. That certain day and night time has came, the pandit is waiting for that person at the borders of kakatiya empire, that brave man has came. Pandit orders him to catch a tray, which is full of sand, and the pandit starts chanting sacred mantras and asks that person to “pour a handful of sand as a heap on the ground, from the tray and follow him and not to look back” This man does what the pandit says and walks along with him. After pouring the sand and walking forward, this man observes a huge terrible sound coming, like a Thunder. The same process is continued multiple times, by the pandit This man looks back to see what is actually happening, he shocks by what he sees. At the place where sand heaps were dropped, there happens a, ,mountain formation. He dropped that tray of sand and stands there like a statue, the pandit looks back and approaches that man and becomes angry and says “the muhurt time has elapsed, our plan has failed. I have told the King to send a brave man. Why your king has sent a coward like you?” Then that brave man says, ,“I am the king”. The King has actually came in a different look. Then the Pandit says “Sorry, my idea is to create mountains, with the power of Muhurth, mountains helpful in increasing rainfall and storing the water.” Then the king says “Yes, it is my mistake”
Why is the Ford not successful in the Indian market?
This is an important question. I've worked with General Motor Corporation USA. I have been a Profesional rally driver as well as a professional test driver of new cars. I had 2 years of contract to drive Ford cars before I switched to Subaru. With reference to your question, General Motors India Pvt Ltd had to close down their Indian operations for not being able to sell their products or for refusing to change their company policies to toe the line of Suzuki. Ford, Toyota and Honda also do not agree with the principals of Suzuki and Hyundai. Suzuki has always made the most unsafe cars but they are fortunate enough to have sold whatever they produced in india. This has been possible due to the corrupt system in India who turn their blind eye towards the safety features. Unfortunately, most deaths in car accidents in india happen in Suzuki cars. Ford has been making safe cars. Their priority is not to design and produce cars with the best mileage. Every manufacturer tries to design the best of engines which are reasonably powerful and fuel efficient but most including Ford have their focus more on the power, safety and other aspects than only the mileage. Most of the Indian buyers are like herd. They buy cars based on recommendations by their friends and relatives or by seeing maximum number of branded vehicles on roads. Their first question is always the fuel economy and never the safety. I've witnessed a major accident of Ford Ikon when a truck loaded with crushed stones suddenly lost control and unloaded the entire load on to a parked Ford ikon. The car should have got crushed under 8 tons of weight but everyone was amazed to find that even the windshield was safe. The car suffered some small dents and bruises but it was good to go. If the Indian public opts unsafe cars and believes in companies like Suzuki and Hyundai, what can anyone do? The option for the other car manufacturing companies is to shred the weight of their vehicles, forget about crash protections and make cars like Suzuki does. It's shocking and irony to find even a Maruti 800 commanding a decent resale value but a Toyota Corolla or Ford Ikon sell for the peanuts. The following may help… ,https://www.quora.com/Which-one-is-better-Maruti-Suzuki-Baleno-or-Swift-ZXI/answer/Fredie-Mirage-2?ch=10&share=ed5f8b7e&srid=0d5cT
Why does Toyota Fortuner sells more than Ford Endeavour even if Endeavour is better than Fortuner in all aspects?
I can put some light on this question as I owned previous generation Ford Endeavour (2013) and currently have the new generation Toyota Fortuner (2018). I will try to keep it as short as I can as I will be sharing my experience with both cars and their dealership as well as service centers and my past experience over 2 decades with Toyota and why it is so reliable also about the build quality of Ford Endeavour. Hence, it might get lengthy. Some people might find it biased but it's not and it's my experience, other people might have experienced something else. About me: Me and my dad loves cars so he has purchased a couple of cars over the last 3 decades from different brands. We have never purchased any car which is on-road above 40lacs+ , hopefully someday we will. 1. My First experience with Toyota before purchasing Fortuner. The reason I am writing about Toyota Qualis here is due to the reliability and resale factor, as people say Toyota Owners can only brag about Reliability and resale value. We had purchased Toyota Qualis ages back and did over 3,50,000 kms on it. The car never gave us any issue, after the first 3 services, we used to service it with our local trusted mechanic. I am not sure if we did the first 3 services from the company too or not as it was too far from our place and I was too young to remember about it. We owned that car for around 15yrs. The engine never gave us any issue even after 3,50,000 kms, our car was not a tourist vehicle and was used completely for personal use as my dad does a lot of traveling. It was the only car till 2012 which we used for day to day traveling as well as interstate and inter district traveling even after having 2 more cars in our garage. Later we had added 2 more cars in our garage so the load was distributed as we stopped taking Qualis for interstate travels but still Qualis was used for inter district and city travel frequently till early 2014. (Image source: Google. Just for reference, mine was same model with full silver color) Dealership Experience I don’t remember exactly how was our experience as I was around 12yrs old at that time. But from what I heard from my dad recently before purchasing fortuner it was impeccable. But it varies from one dealership to another. Service Center Experience: I don’t remember but I think we never did any service in their service center ever, so can’t comment for now. Reliability: We always felt very safe those days in that car even when we use to travel on mountain roads and national highways. We have given this car all kind of torture that it can handle but still was very reliable. Safety: Those days it was considered one of the safest cars if we compare with its direct rivals Maintenance Costs: We use to do the servicing with our local mechanic so never really had much service cost, it used to be always below Rs. 1000 and a couple of more while replacing engine oil and filters. Mileage: The mileage was always 10km or more both in City as well as Highway Purchase and Resale: We had purchased that car in the early 00’s for around Rs. 7.5lacs and sold it for 1.8 lacs in 2019. Considering the fact that the car is over 15yrs old and done 350k kms I think it's a good resale price. Pros: I have mentioned above so will just write in short. Reliability, Space, Mileage, Resale Value, Maintenance Costs Cons: Interiors: The interiors were not great even for that time. Handbrake: I never liked its handbrake. Exterior: Could have done much better Discounts: As Toyota Qualis were in high demand we hardly got any discount 2. Experience while purchasing Ford Endeavour in 2013 Before purchasing Ford Endeavour, I went to many other car showrooms and at that time also I had compared Ford Endeavour with Toyota Fortuner and other SUVs (I had also checked other sedans including Audi A4 which was in my budget but didn't opt for them due to other issues) Old Generation Ford Endeavour vs Old Generation Toyota Fortuner While doing the comparison I found that Toyota Fortuner was very poor with space inside, specially in the 3rd row and the seats where not much comfortable and my dad liked Ford Endeavour so we opted for that. Ford Endeavour’s brake felt much weaker than that of Fortuner. Ford Endeavour Experience: After Purchasing Ford Endeavour the car felt less reliable as it always used to have some or other mechanical issues and as the car was an Automatic 4x4 it had more issues as it was not a full time 4x4 and sometimes it used to get triggered automatically even after not actually applying it. The mileage was very poor, service cost was very high. But the car was very spacious, comfortable, build quality was excellent. Even the metal sheet felt very solid. It was fun to drive in city as well on highway. This was my first automatic car as we always preferred manual cars as its fun to drive and has less maintenance cost with higher mileage. If we neglect the mechanical problem, service cost and mileage then it was one of my best cars. We had used this car for daily city travel, interstate and inter district travel as it was a replacement for our Toyota Qualis. Since 2013, we stopped using Qualis for Interstate travel and started using Ford Endeavour and another car for the same and in 2014, we stopped using Qualis for Inter district travel as well and kept it limited to city travel till we finally sold it. I did around 66,000 km on this car would have done more easily around 1,00,000–1,50,000 but unfortunately couldn’t as mentioned below. Dealership Experience: The dealership Experience was ok compared to other brands but it was not bad either. I had asked for few additional accessories which was delayed so I had cancelled it. The big turn off was the car had no plastics on its seats or any part (usually the new cars are covered with) and the car had did 150 kms (usually the car should be below 100 km if its new) Service Center Experience: I always felt scammed as I used to give them my car with 10 complaints (as something or other use to come up) and they use to resolve only 3–4 and charge me a bomb. I always kept the car well maintained and never used it roughly still had lot of issues. At a point I was so frustrated with the issues that I went to the dealership and asked them if they gave me a faulty car and even made a contact with Ford India about all issues and bad service. The people of the service center also felt very unwelcoming to everyone. Again it might be just this service center and the others might be more welcoming but we had only this service center in our city so we had no choice. Once they even pulled out a part of my dashboard above the infotainment system and later shamelessly applied a glue to fix it. I later realized it when it started to come out again n again while driving and found the clip of that part was broken, I took matter to both the service center and the dealership (as the service center was also owned by the dealership) but they said you should have informed us on the same day. How can I inform if I didn't knew as they had applied glue to fix it. The dashboard part couldn't be fixed and needed full replacement so I thought it's better to move on, as they won't replace it. I never feel cheated while servicing my other cars in other brand's service centers but here it was the same everytime. Reliability: Due to frequent mechanical problems, the car felt very less reliable. We had even faced issues couple of times. At times I use to feel that the car is losing road grip and bouncy and once it actually did skid during a turn. But other than that, it slowly became our first preference for interstate and interdistrict travel in 2014. Safety: I can tell the car is one of the safest car as in Nov, 2016 (just 20 days after completing 3yrs since purchase) my dad met a threatening accident, as a container truck hit my car from the side and the car rolled several times. But with God’s blessing and the car’s build quality my dad walked out of it with minor bruises on his fingers. The accident was so severe that the car was declared as a total loss and went in scrap. So that tells you how safe the car was. Maintenance Costs: The maintenance cost was the highest compared to my other cars including one which was of the same range (on road price). I was always billed around 13–15k for minor servicing and sometimes 25k during oil change, etc. Mileage: The mileage was very bad as it gave me 4.5–5.5 kmpl in city and 9–11 kmpl on highway. Purchase and Resale: We bought this car with a discount of around 1.5lacs but the resale value is very bad compared to its direct rivals. Technically we never sold this car but the insurance company gave us the amount according to the market value which they were claiming to be 9lacs (which was not right and low) the actual resale value of that car those days was between 13 lacs to 15, where as the fortuner had around 18–19 lacs. After lot of negotiations (as they had mentioned IDV of 17.5 lacs) we got total 12 lacs in March 2017. Pros: Build Quality: The car is very safe, their built quality is much better. It was even better than Toyota Fortuner those days. Driving: Other than being an automatic, it was very easy to drive with so much power and comfort. I could easily climb mountains and off road with this car, The big windows and Rear Windshield gave me a clear visibility of the surroundings. Even the massive side mirrors helped a lot Other: Spacious, Power, A/C, Good discounts Cons: Reliability, Mileage, Maintenance Cost, Turning Radius was bit high, Space to Park ( as it was a very long car with that extra tyre on the rear gate) Car Horn was too bad like a small sedan, it didn’t suit that beast so had got it replaced. Infotainment and the tech was too outdated as the other rivals and the car with same price bracket as well as the car in lower price bracket were loaded with features. People found it too long and difficult to drive in traffic and congested areas, but I never felt that as I drive well and have good judgement, so does my dad. P.s. ,After losing this car me and my dad contacted every Ford dealer as well as with Ford India if they had the same car model with them in stock or unsold stock or a demo/unregistered car, as by that time Ford had introduced the new Generation Endeavour. Unfortunately we couldn’t find any old generation car (new or unregistered) as we were completely in love with this car. Later we went to purchase the new generation Ford Endeavour as well but I will share that incident in my 3rd experience. 3. Car booking Experience in 2017 (Almost booked new Generation Ford Endeavour) As we had lost a good car in Nov, 2016, we started looking for few cars, as our previous 3 cars (including Toyota Qualis) were not much reliable for highways and we had only 1 Car which was also purchased in 2013 and reliable, so we needed one more. Due to demonetisation and other financial issues we started looking for cars below 20lacs (on-road) as well as the new Ford Endeavour. We had booked one car worth 13lacs (on-road) which after couple of months I cancelled it due to built quality issue. At the same time I had spoken with the same Ford Dealership from which I had purchased my previous Ford Endeavour. We did a lot of negotiations and got a great deal too but I felt they got a better offer for the same car (as the car was 2016 unsold stock car) so they just increased the price when I went to book the car by saying we had only said ex-showroom price and the on road price has increased by 1,00,000, I told them to their face, that “This is not our first car and the on road price is almost 3,00,000 more than the ex-showroom so how can you say that it was not on road price”(P.s. I was getting a loyalty bonus of Rs.1,00,000 from Ford which I feel the other customer was not getting or finalized the deal for better price). So I called my dad and explained the whole thing and said let’s not book the car and he agreed. This was something I didn’t like as 2 days back we had finalized everything and on the day of booking they just changed their deal. We were actually gonna purchase both the cars, one of that 13 lacs and this Endeavour. But Karma is a bitch, the other buyer was not able to arrange the finance for the car and then they made a contact with us, we gave a thought to it but later even we thought of not buying as we had other financial pressures, though we would have actually purchased if that day they had not changed their deal. 4. Experience with New Generation Fortuner 2018. I am very happy with the purchase, I opted for 4x2 MT Diesel variant as I didn’t wanted to go for AT this time and paying additional 1.5lac for 4x4 MT Diesel for just cruise control and 4x4, it didn’t feel worth the money, though later I thought I should have purchased it as we have to travel on off-roads & on mountains sometimes for work. But still the 4x2 variant does the job with ease. It is a very powerful car compared to its major rivals. I have almost done 50,000 km on this car it would been over 55,000km if we were not under constant lockdown since March 2020 in India due to COVID-19. I am not planning to sell this car for next 7–10yrs for sure and might cross 1,50,000 easily during that span. Dealership Experience: I went to two dealerships for the Fortuner, one which was in my city and another which was in different city. The one in my city was very unwelcoming and found the sales people were very lazy or not interested and my dad had purchased the Toyota Qualis from the one in other city. So we went to the same showroom after years from where we had purchased Qualis and luckily we found the same sales person who had sold us the Qualis. We got a bit of discount as well. Service Center Experience: The service center experience is good, the previous service manager for my car was not that welcoming but after he left their company, the new one is good and very welcoming. I don’t feel cheated here like I felt in Ford. Reliability: This car feels very reliable and gives lots of confidence and road presence while driving. Take it in city, highway or off-road its just a beast which you can drive easily. Road grip is also great, power, handling and braking is awesome. Safety: The car is also very safe now compared to its previous generation (which was also safe but less than Endeavour). Now we can compare its safety with the new generation Endeavour as well. The build quality is solid. Maintenance Cost: I don’t find the maintenance cost very less or very high, rather its justifiable. Mileage: I am getting around 9–9.9kmpl in city and 11–13 kmpl on highway Purchase and Resale: I had purchased this car with a bit of discount and I am happy with it. The resale value is just going up as the new car price is going up. So you don’t have to worry about resale with the Fortuner. Pros: Mileage, Safety, Resale value, Off-roading capabilities being 4x2, power, braking, handling, maintenance cost, build quality, reliability, exterior design is much better than Ford endeavour and other rivals. Cons: Infotainment system is bit boring, Features could have been few more, Interiors could been much better, it was almost 3–4 lacs (on-road) costlier than new Generation Ford Endeavour and its other rivals but covers it up on resale. Very less discounts: I am not sure about other cars of Toyota but you get negligible discounts on Fortuner and Innova as they are always in high demands. Final words: If I can, I don’t mind buying new Generation Ford Endeavour again, but the previous experience of service cost and mileage scares me (as they have only AT variants presently), but its a great car. Right now I am planning for a Toyota Innova for future or any luxury car once the market conditions are good after COVID-19. This is my first answer which became so long, sorry if it was not helpful. I wrote this just to tell you why the sales are higher than Ford Endeavour, obviously it's a great car and full of feature loaded compared to Toyota Fortuner. But to be honest the exterior design is not that great now compared to Fortuner, the interior is great as I can tell because I was about to book this car as well. All the dealership and services center experience depends upon how well their representatives treat you and address your all queries. We never ask any stupid questions or irritate anyone as we prefer to talk only when necessary, so the conversations are short and smart but still many such companies have few employees who are not happy with their jobs or other things and because of them customers are not interested in buying from them either, so that's the key for any sale other than the car itself. Fun fact: ,Previous generation Fortuner was taller and with more feature than Previous Generation Endeavour but the Current Generation Endeavour is taller and with more feature than the Current Generation Fortuner, so sometimes I feel unlucky. Feel free to share your experience with Fortuner as well as New Generation Ford Endeavour and Innova (for my interest)
How safe is Toyota Fortuner?
Well, the asker is @,Wirawan Winarto,, so I can guess the background of this question (hint, repeated hospital admission while in court court inquiry). :P Fortuner got 5 Star NCAP Rating, (,Toyota Fortuner (Aug 2015 - onwards) Crash Test Results | ANCAP,) So the more stars, the safer we’ll be? The diagrams below show typical injuries to the driver and passenger for each ANCAP safety rating based on the frontal offset test conducted at 64 km/h. Heavy head injuries is highly unlikely, as long as safety regulation conformed (did you wear seatbelt?). To make the accident event more believeable, use car with 0 Star NCAP Rating, please. :P
Do you think Setya Novanto fabricated his own car accident to avoid corruption charges?
In my opinion, hell yes he is. How the f*ck a decent facelifted first gen Toyota Fortuner which is this car counterpart (Toyota Hilux) has 3 star safety rating in NCAP crash test can make someone badly injured just by crashing it on a small power pole. The car itself doesnt seems has serious issue except for folded bumper and some minor damage in front hood. I’ve done some similar crash some years ago in my 1989 Toyota Kijang which is doesnt have any safety feature except for praying guide book. The outcome is just minor damage on my bumper and I dont have any scratch in my body. I think Mr. Novanto should sold his Toyota Fortuner and trade it with a 1980s Toyota Kijang.
What is the best way to travel through Thailand, public transportation, renting a car, or hiring a driver?
Car rental in Thailand is relatively inexpensive- a Nissan Micra might start at 20 bucks a day.c( 600bt) A 7 seater Toyota fortuner for 30bucks. ( 1000 BT) Gasoline is also pretty cheap. Roads are in reasonable condition- and paved practically everywhere. However, Thailand generally ties for first place in road accident death statistics- although they're skewed by the carnage caused by motorcycle accidents. That said its very challenging to drive here, traffic laws are widely ignored, traffic signs such as One Way are generally advisory rather than compulsory. Traffic lights are often jumped and right of way is never yours. The traffic is terrible- Bangkok ties with Mexico city for the most congested city on earth. Minibus hire or a car hire with a driver starts around 80 bucks a day. Often nice well maintained vehicles with decent drivers. Buses are inexpensive and city to city are posh. Local buses are generally less pleasant. Tuk tuks, song thaews, motorbike taxis and even bicycle hire is often available too. Some trains are very pleasant routes. Others are not as nice but all are very reasonably priced. There's some newer posh rolling stock and some not so new. The country is well serviced by airports. Outside of peak periods its possible to fly from say Utapo to Chiang Mai for 30 bucks- its about a 1000km drive.
Why don't Indians realise that Fiat makes better cars than Maruti?
Very well said ! - :) Indians are so ignorant that without proper service and part replacement at regular intervals and (must,must) quality of fitment of replaced parts - You SIMPLY! cannot put a car on road for 5 year/1,00,000 Km (1 Lakh km). Another Example: Even in the most developed countries like USA where there are more than 2 cars per home - People look for (a.s.s) servicing effectiveness and longevity of the cars. -Thats why toyota and honda sell more than any other USA-domestic brands like Ford and Chevy. There are some people who take pride in saying Maruti is beggars/common mans car (attitude). I have one word to tell them - If you cannot put your 5-10Lakh car on the road - due to whatever reason it may be - then you are sold a Heavy METAL Junk - that will either sit in the garage for parts !!Yet to Come!! or sit in your parking lot - because it is so expensive to fix. That’s not a CAR it is called HEAVY METAL. Remember : When you choose a car - Choose a car for its - 1.Longevity 2.Reliability 3.Ease of Maintenance 4.Easy Spares availability 5.Easy workmanship for the mechanics : always make sure the replacement of parts/fitment is in good shape - that’s why maruti rates service quality only from 8/9/or/10 - 7 is pathetic in terms of MARUTI 6.Good Mileage 7.Uncompromising ride and handling till the end of life of the car. 8.Functional Interiors - Not FANCY as in HYUNDAI !! 9.Ground Clearance and Recovery - Ground Clearance - Required for Indian Roads - Our country Roads or so called roads have pot holes the size of ponds and lakes - highways have patches / unmarked speed breakers / pedestrian crossing / cattle crossing / drunk lorries / sleepy buses / slow tractors / tricycles and auto’s (poor visibility due to the structure - Fish Shaped) What is Recovery?: After you hit a speed breaker or a sudden brake (Very much possible with above road conditions) - you still can ride a maruti without any troubles - atleast on the next service service advisor at maruti will only say - sir! suspension needs overhaul - steering arm is bent !!! which can easily be replaced and at less cost. - You can recover at a lower cost - than a top class Ford/Fiat/hyundai - that will ask you hell lot of money for such incident - Seen it a hundred times, which makes recovery costlier. 10. Resale!!! - When you want to try something new. 11. Complaints: People who complain about rattling noise in maruti cars - buy a car floor mat and cover the front and back door panels inside the door panel/paste it/insulate it -not outside. 12. Safety: Safety of the Car does not come with weight of doors / heavy metal feel /packed feel - “Thud” sound in doors !! - foolishness. It is the structure of the Car - how well it is structured [Frame of car ]? and What material is used ? Educated should know that there are metals which are lighter than IRON and still STRONGER than iron in its characters. Also the shape of the object plays a vital role during accidents - it has to be aero dynamic as well stronger in shape - doesn’t mean it has to look massive. this is why VOLVO dont look as cool as audi or bmw!! “people who complain on the Baleno accident should also look at the toyota fortuner accident - despite looking massive it was a metal plate after the accident.” Lets End… I owned a Maruti and after 5 years - i wanted to try a different brand but everywhere i went they all pushed me to Maruti again and friends told me / said if these are the parameters better stick to Maruti - No one at the moment delivers this promise. When some other brand delivers this promise - i will try that brand - for sure!! - until then am not ready to buy a METAL JUNK even if it is just 1 Lakh - No Point!! Another Example: Say - Your Kid is unwell and it is raining - you want to take him to a doctor - you have a car that is sitting in the service centre for parts to arrive or sitting at home for you to accumulate the money needed for servicing. — What is the point of owning a Car ? - If you have to rely on Uber/Ola again and follow the pathetic calls to follow up with the driver / give him address / do GPS for the driver / finally pay a hefty amount !!! :O Pathetic!! Happy Motoring - If you are Practical thinker !! - Car is Not For Fancy or STATUS !! Car has a purpose at first place!! Kudos !! to Maruti Suzuki for being such a brand in India..!! Sources: 63% of the drivers own a Maruti !! 63 % of total cars running in India are Maruti!! Maruti delivers the same kind of service/sales practices that toyota or Honda follows in other countries - i myself owned a Honda Accord in USA - used one 2002 Model with 75000 miles on it (1 Mile = 1.64 km) - bought in 2009 - i drove 30000 Miles and sold it for the same price i bought - market was better when sold. We will have to ignore all the brands for trying to cheat indian customers in the name of “poor after sales/ service” - they are trying to sell a metal junk - not a car. without service a car is helpless.!! When we STOP buying car brands that does not have a good after sales that is when these so called manufacturers will enter India with a wide network for service and not just sell their cars. If we take pride in owning a car that does not have good service - then we are encouraging the automobile manufacturers to throw us anything and we will only want pride and not the car or its purpose in our life.!! Buyer has to correct the mistake. Not the mistake of Manufacturers.!!! absolutely! Remaining 27% of buyers should realize this - other than Toyota/honda or German auto’s[not sure how they do in india]. EDIT: Prove it: Fiat Punto engine failure @ 57000 kms! - Team-BHP Heavy heart. Tow cost Cab cost Suffering!!!! Finally Fiat or We can say Pathetic.!!! If you drive daily one hour only inside city and use public transport for long journeys, any car can run. Put it in the highway for continuous 8–10 hours and it will tell you what worth it is., that's when an engine is executed for its fullest performance., Fiat Punto engine failure @ 57000 kms! - Team-BHP
Out Of all the Cars manufacturers available in Indian market which one has the lowest maintenance cost in general.?
Low maintenance is a myth. There is no such thing as low maintenance. Its just maintenance, which is very important for running your car in good condition. Let me explain (longish answer ahead); When you buy a car (new or used), there are a few things that need to be done on a regular basis so that the machine does not fail you. Remember, its a machine and prone to wear & tear, irrespective of whether you use it or not. Some of the things that need to be done are; Oil change The oil in a car performs the function of keeping the engine lubricated and since it goes thru a series of engine parts and temperature changes, it loses its viscosity, which means it has to be replaced. Engine oil should always be replaced and NEVER topped-up. Depending on the engine capacity, you’ll need different quantities of oil. Maruti Alto 800, Hyundai EON and Renault Kwid will need less oil compared to Toyota Fortuner, Ford Endeavour, Mahindra XUV 500. 2. Fuel Filter If its a diesel engine car, ideally you should be replacing the filter. If its a petrol powered car, cleaning it is sufficient, but, you may want to replace it every couple of years. 3. Brake Fluid Almost all new cars are now equipped with power brakes and this fluid plays an important role in the braking function. Again, this is to be topped up, unless you’ve requested the service centre to “bleed” the brake lines, in which case, the sump holding the fluid is drained and you have to fill fresh fluid. However, you’ll notice that the quantity is very less compared to engine oil. 4. Power Steering Fluid Again, similar concept as above and this should only be topped up, unless in an adverse situation you’ve had to drain the sump. Hopefully, not. 5. Injector Cleaning This should be done on a diesel car regularly and lesser needed on a petrol car. 6. Gear Oil This again is topped up only, unless you’ve had to change some major parts related to the gear box. 7. Coolant The fluid that goes into the car radiator and functions to keep the car engine temperature under control is also to be topped up, unless the radiator has leaked and the fluid has drained completely. However, this is a dangerous situation to be in and you should always monitor the engine temperature when driving (via the dashboard indicator) and stop the car (safely on the side) if the engine temp shoots up abnormally. All fluids (lubricants) work in providing you a smooth driving experience. 8. Brake Pads / Liners These should be changed as recommended by your car service manual or your service centre, because your life depends on it. None of the car manufacturing companies make any of the above. All service centres use fluids that are manufactured by third-party like Castrol, Bardahl, etc, which means that the costs are standardised and even you can buy them off-the-shelf. Even brake pad costs are comparable. So, let’s come to the next part, which is “labour cost”. This is charged to you because there is time and effort that is put in by the mechanics working in the service centre to change or top-up the lubricants in your car. This varies from brand to brand. A few years ago, it was believed that servicing a Maruti is the cheapest, which is no longer the case and Hyundai, Ford, Volkswagen, etc have all now comparable costs. Since the car manufacturers have now been able to use advanced technology to deliver superior cars, the servicing frequency has reduced, which means you now make lesser trips to the service centre. The cost effectively works out to be around Rs.1000/- to Rs.1600/- per month, if you break up what you spend once or twice in a year, at the service centre. Please note that I have not taken into account “part replacement” costs, as this is something which will come into effect only if the car meets with an accident or the driving style is rough (e.g.: not pressing the clutch completely before changing the gears, not allowing the car to stop fully before shifting to reverse, driving too fast to get to the next signal when you know you’ve to stop in less than 1 km or similar cases). 9. Tyres This cost varies greatly depending on the brand, tread, size that you select. However, you’ll need to change this once every (approx) 50,000kms, by which time, you would have driven it around enough that the cost won't pinch you. Bigger tyres, like 15 inch and 16 inch give you better driving control compared to the smaller tyres like 12 inch and 13 inch. But, then again, never divert from what has been recommended by the company. The reasons would make another long post, so, I’ll not go into those details. So, maintenance is maintenance. There is no such thing as low maintenance. Thank you for reading.
Why does Saudi Arabia have so many traffic accidents?
These are the two images of the vehicle in which i was travelling. I was travelling with my manager from Dammam to Jubail in a Toyota Fortuner through jubail highway one. It is a 6 six road connecting the two cities. A vehicle Toyota Yaris was travelling from Jubail to Dammam. It was apparently travelling at 160 Km/hr and it hit another car on its path. It crossed the median and hit our vehicle on door of the driver. The fortuner toppled and rolled over twice on the road upon impact. I broke the front window of the vehicle and we came out.Both of us escaped with minor scratches but the person who was driving the Yaris met with serious face injuries. He was apologetic to us even though his face was covered in blood. Apparently he had slept off and all hell broke loose. Reasons Driving culture is bad and everyone wants to go at high speeds. Trailers and big trucks drive like reckless bikes moving through the highways. No medians or bumps on highways Long empty highways that are straight makes the driver sleepy. People use their phones all the time even at high speeds. Climate is so arrid, humid and hot. Drivers tend to doze off from being tired. Young kids are allowed to drive. There is not enough checking in the roads. Poor quality of roads/infrastructure. Recommendations The Driving License test needs to be set with higher standards and monitored strictly. Speed enforcement should be more strictly done with the help of radars and other equipments. Effective monitoring by traffic police in highways. Checkposts and blockades at regular intervals.
