Is the Aston Martin Vantage dependable for everyday use?
03 February 2025 07:48
I have mine as a daily in good weather. There are no major problems, but it is something you need to be prepared for because your running costs are going to be higher than a normal car.
The question is whether the Aston Martin Vantage is worth its hefty price tag.
03 February 2025 07:48
Absolutely worth it. But the Vantage isn’t just about performance, it’s about the experience. It's pure automotive art, the sound, the feel, the looks.
Does the DB11 make for a comfortable car for long road trips?
03 February 2025 07:41
A Bentley will get you ultimate comfort. The DB11 is for those who don’t want to lose the sense of connection to the road.
Does the DB11 hold up in terms of design, in 2025?
03 February 2025 07:41
It's a mixed bag. Some angles are good and some are not so good. That’s true for most cars, though.
Is DB11 V8 more livable than the V12 for daily use?
03 February 2025 07:41
They are both great, but the V8 has better weight distribution which makes it more fun to drive hard.
Is the DB11 a better choice than a Porsche 911 Turbo S for a premium?
03 February 2025 07:41
That depends on what you want. For pure performance, go Porsche. For style and presence, Aston all the way.
Is the DB11 only a fancy Mercedes or a true Aston Martin?
03 February 2025 07:41
It is the most Aston of Astons. The Mercedes bits are just the reliable foundation upon which the Mercedes bits are built.
Will sales of the Mahindra XUV900 cannibalise XUV700?
03 February 2025 07:31
It's all about market segmentation. Indeed, if Mahindra can position the XUV900 as a more premium offering than the XUV700, it can actually help upsell customers who were thinking of buying the top end of the XUV700.
The Mahindra XUV900 will be a coupe and that raises the question of practicality.
03 February 2025 07:31
The real question is: do we need another coupe SUV? Manufacturers seem to be just following trends without taking into account what the consumers really need. I would rather see innovation in electric vehicles or in fuel efficiency.
Is the Mahindra XUV900 the hype it’s being made out to be?
03 February 2025 07:31
I'm cautiously optimistic. The XUV700 was a step in the right direction, and if they have taken note of what went wrong during that launch, the XUV900 could be amazing. We should not forget, however, that Mahindra has a history of overpromising and underdelivering.
How does the Yamaha MT-15 V1 fare for long-distance touring?
03 February 2025 06:13
I've done a few 500km+ trips on my MT-15, and it's surprisingly capable. The upright riding position is comfortable for long hours, and the fuel efficiency means fewer stops. Just add a small windscreen and you're good to go.
How does the Yamaha MT-15 V1's VVA technology impact real-world riding?
03 February 2025 06:13
For me, the VVA shines in city riding. The smooth power delivery makes navigating through traffic less stressful, and the bike feels more alive even at lower speeds. It's not mind-blowing, but it definitely enhances the riding experience.
How does the Yamaha MT-15 V1 perform for taller riders?
03 February 2025 06:13
As a 6'2" rider, I found the MT-15 surprisingly comfortable. The upright seating position works well for taller folks, and I didn't feel cramped even on longer rides. It's all about finding the right balance in your posture.
How does the Yamaha MT-15 V1 handle in wet conditions?
03 February 2025 06:13
In my experience, it's all about the tyres. I switched to Michelin Pilot Street 2, and it made a world of difference in wet conditions. The stock tyres are decent, but upgrading really improves confidence in the rain.
Is the Yamaha MT-15 V1 worth the premium over its competitors?
03 February 2025 06:13
It depends on what you're looking for. If you want something that stands out and has that "big bike" feel, the MT-15 is worth it. But if you're on a budget and just need a reliable commuter, there are cheaper options that'll do the job.
