Is the Vanquish V12 a grand tourer or a true driver’s car?
03 February 2025 11:15
Realistically, it’s a grand tourer with a bit of sport to it. That’s not a problem, but it won’t be able to keep up with dedicated sports cars on a track.
What impact will the Aston Martin Valkyrie LMH’s unique cockpit design have on driver comfort and performance?
03 February 2025 11:05
They are probably wise enough to have thought of that. Maybe they’ve got some clever solution to quick driver swaps that we haven’t seen yet.
Is the DB12 a proper driver’s car or merely a pretty grand tourer?
03 February 2025 10:32
It’s a driver’s car, if you know what I mean. This isn’t a track weapon, look elsewhere if that’s what you want. It’s hard to beat for fast road driving though.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a pretty face, but is it also a true driver's car?
03 February 2025 08:54
It’s the difference between a tailored suit and off-the-rack clothing compared to a Porsche 911.
As a true daily driver or weekend toy, the Aston Martin DB9 Volante is the question.
03 February 2025 08:31
For over a year I’ve driven my DB9 Volante daily and it has been surprisingly practical. Yes, fuel economy is not great, but the comfort and joy it provides during the mundane commute is worth it.
Can I really use the Aston Martin Rapide as a daily driver?
03 February 2025 08:04
I’ve been daily driving my Rapide for the last year, and it has surprisingly been very practical. It has decent trunk space for groceries and the four doors make it easy to get in and out. It's not as big as a regular sedan but a heck of a lot more usable than a regular sports car.
Is the Aston Martin DB9 a reliable car to use as a daily driver?
03 February 2025 08:00
Absolutely! I've had my DB9 for three years now, and it's been a dream to daily drive. It sure isn’t as practical as a sedan, but I wouldn’t trade the comfort or the joy it brings to my commute for anything. Just be sure you know what the fuel costs will be.
Was the Arash AF-10 V8 really a daily driver?
30 January 2025 10:18
It method if you could daily it (or even if you could every other day), why would you? The special occasion factor is part of owning a car like this. Running to the grocery store with it would kill the magic.
How true is the Alfa Romeo 147 1.6 as a driver's car or just a pretty face?
30 January 2025 09:58
It’s perfect as a daily driver. Not too powerful to be constantly fighting tickets, but enough pep to be fun. It also looks like a supercar, plus it turns heads.
Is the Alfa Romeo 147 a pretty face or a true driver's car?
30 January 2025 09:31
It's a bit of both, really. The 147 has that Alfa charm but it doesn't handle as well as some German alternatives and is nowhere near as refined or powerful. It’s more engaging than most hatchbacks, though.
Is the Alfa Romeo Brera a pretty face or a true driver's car?
30 January 2025 09:23
I’m a Brera owner and can confirm it’s a lot more than eye candy. The sound out of the V6 is fantastic and it pulls hard. It may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but it’s a great all rounder for daily use and weekend fun.
Is the Hummer H2 a reliable daily driver?
28 January 2025 09:03
The size is a pain in tight parking lots, but it’s surprisingly comfortable for daily use. If you have to park and plan your routes, you definitely need to do this in advance.
In hot climates, does the Tata Super ACE Mint’s air conditioning really make a difference to drivers?
24 January 2025 09:33
The AC is weak sauce. Peak summer is when it struggles to keep up. The cooling system needs to be upgraded big time for Tata.
Are traditional auto rickshaw drivers losing out to the Tata Magic IRIS which is unfairly taking their business?
06 January 2025 12:26
Both have their place. Autos are better for personal point to point travel and Magic IRIS is better for shared routes.
Do the Kia Sportage's driver assistance features help or hinder?
06 January 2025 07:29
The driver assists in my Sportage are something I love. Adaptive cruise control is a life saver for highway driving, and lane keep assist just adds that extra layer of safety. They’re sure a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to them they’re super helpful.
Will the reported focus on rear seat space for the Kia Clavis turn out to be a game changer for Uber/Ola drivers?
03 January 2025 11:49
I don't know if that's going to make a whole lot of difference. Uber/Ola drivers most of the time go for the cheapest option that qualifies. Will the Clavis be competitive priced?
Why is this the case? Why do Creta drivers get such a bad reputation on Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:26
It's more about the Creta buyers' demographic, I think. Most of the time it’s younger professionals or first time SUV buyers who probably went a little crazy with their new ride. They'll mellow out, give them time.
Are the BYD Seal’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on par with competitors?
02 January 2025 06:54
On highways the lane keeping on my Seal works great, but on poorly marked roads it struggles. At the price, it’s impressive though.
Does the BYD Dolphin have the performance to excite enthusiastic drivers?
02 January 2025 06:25
Having been a petrolhead myself, I was skeptical, but the Dolphin changed my mind. Instant, silent acceleration is a satisfying thing.
The Mahindra XUV.e8's range will it be enough to cure range anxiety, or will drivers still be sweating?
31 December 2024 11:10
It’s mostly psychological — range anxiety. The people will once EVs are in use, and they will see that even 500 km is enough. It's about changing mindsets.
