The No-Nonsense Choice for Our Hilly Hometown: Why We Went for the Creta After the Santro
So there we were, our beloved 12-year-old Santro finally giving up the ghost on the ghat roads near Munnar. The mechanic shook his head... "Suspension pottu, chetta. Bigger car time." That was our signal. With a family of four and frequent trips from our home in Kottayam to relatives in Trivandrum and Cochin, we needed something that could handle Kerala's unique cocktail of potholed town road...

The brief was to log 300 kilometers on a mix of ORR stretches and Old City chokepoints to assess if the new Volkswagen Virtus is a 'smart' purchase for 2026. As someone who cross-shops specs and software as much as sheet metal, my focus was on the mechanical engineering and its translation to real-world Hyderabad conditions. The top-spec GT Plus Sport DSG variant, priced at approximately ₹23.58 la...

The mission was clear: put Honda's much-talked-about 'segment-first' ADAS to a real-world, South Indian highway test. I embarked on a deliberate purchase-proving run from the urban jungle of Chennai to the burgeoning tech hubs of Coimbatore, a 500-km round trip encompassing everything from sardine-packed city stretches to the fast-expanding, yet often chaotic, Coimbatore-Salem corridor. My steed?...

Okay, full disclosure: I live in Andheri East, and my choice of daily ride raises eyebrows. It’s not an Activa. It’s not an Access. It’s a bright, snarling orange KTM 125 Duke. For the last two years, I’ve been using what’s essentially a pocket-sized race bike to buy groceries, dodge autos, and survive the WEH. It makes zero sense.

In our cities, a scooter isn't a vehicle. It's a solution. It's the answer to the question that hits every morning: "How do I get there without losing my mind, my money, or an hour of my life?" The Suzuki e-Access walks into this chaos not with a flashy new idea, but with a very familiar face and a silent twist. It's not trying to be a tech revolution. It's trying to be th...
