If you’re willing to compromise, it can work as a family car. It’s not as refined as some, but it’s unique.

It wouldn’t make a good primary family car. It's really more of a weekend toy that can do some family duty.

And for the small family that loves outdoors, it’s perfect. There are better options, though, for regular urban use.
Is owning a Thar a bad driver or that is a stereotype?
27 December 2024 11:27
It’s just a stereotype, that’s all. I have seen enough responsible Thar drivers who follow traffic rules and are nice on the road. There are bad drivers in every type of vehicle.

Not all Thar owners are bad drivers, but there is a trend. There's a certain type of person that the car attracts, they want to show off, they want to dominate the road. The mentality of some owners, not the car's fault.

I think it's a bit of everything. The Thar's size and power can easily make a driver feel invincible, and drive recklessly. It’s all about the attitude of the individual and the driving skill.

I’m a Thar owner and I’m tired of this stereotype. We are responsible drivers who just like to off road. It shouldn't be the case that a few bad apples have to define the whole community.

The issue is not the Thar itself, but a lack of proper driver education in India. Any powerful vehicle can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands. All drivers need better training, and stricter enforcement of traffic rules.

Newer Thar owners are more aggressive, while long time owners are more responsible. Maybe it's just a phase some do when they first get the car.
Is owning a Thar a bad driver or that is a stereotype?

It’s a stereotype that exists for a reason, but that doesn’t mean it applies to everyone. I have seen good and bad Thar drivers. It’s more about the person in the car than the car itself.
The Mahindra Jeeto’s comfort and ergonomics for drivers doing long hours?
27 December 2024 09:25
I work 10-12 hour shifts in my Jeeto and, to be honest, it’s not bad. The controls are easy to reach and the seat's decent. It’s no luxury car, but for a mini truck it’s surprisingly comfortable. So that’s a win in my book, my back doesn’t kill me at the end of the day.
The Mahindra Jeeto’s comfort and ergonomics for drivers doing long hours?
27 December 2024 09:25
Comfortable? Is this the same vehicle we're talking about? After a few hours, the seat is hard as a wooden bench, the suspension is harsh and the noise levels are howling. For short trips, it’s bearable, but for long hours? No way.
The Mahindra Jeeto’s comfort and ergonomics for drivers doing long hours?
27 December 2024 09:25
I believe people forget this is a budget mini truck, not a high end commercial vehicle. The comfort level for what it is, is fine. I’ve added a cushion to the seat and a steering cover and it’s a world of difference. A little customization goes a long way.
The Mahindra Jeeto’s comfort and ergonomics for drivers doing long hours?
27 December 2024 09:25
My biggest issue is adjustability. I am a tall guy and I can never find a comfortable driving position. Seat and steering adjustment options need to be much more available from Mahindra.
The Mahindra Jeeto’s comfort and ergonomics for drivers doing long hours?
27 December 2024 09:25
For me, the Jeeto feels like a luxury ride, coming from driving a tempo. It's all about perspective. Is it perfect? No. For its price point and purpose, I think Mahindra has done a good job on driver comfort.
Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
26 December 2024 12:52
Absolutely. Driving the Ace isn't like driving other vehicles and requires a special skill to do safely. Drivers could be properly trained, and in fact, it may even professionalize the industry, if they got a special license.
Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
26 December 2024 12:52
No way. We already have enough red tape. Additional licensing requirements would only make it more difficult for people to get jobs and increase the cost of everything for everyone.
Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
26 December 2024 12:52
Maybe a middle ground? It’s like another certification on top of a normal license, but not a whole new category. In that way we improve safety without creating too much bureaucracy.
Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
26 December 2024 12:52
I believe we’re getting it wrong. The real problem is enforcing that. If we want to create all the license categories we want, but if nobody’s checking, what’s the point?
Should Tata Ace drivers be given a special license category?
26 December 2024 12:52
Why stop at the Ace? If we're heading down this road, why don't we need special licenses for all commercial vehicles? Where do we draw the line?
