Renault Kwid - Second Biggest Thing After Maruti 800!
Jaipur: Maruti 800 came into existence when the Indian automotive Industry was dominated by bulbous and heavy Ambassadors and Padminis. A car which was smaller in size than these behemoths, cost less and was considerably lighter, was not supposed to zip past every time on the road with its puny 796 cc motor. But it did, 800 easily overtook Ambys and Fiats and returned more miles per gallon. And for that matter we can give the credit to Maruti 800 for the famous Maruti tagline ‘Kitna Deti Hai?’, there’s a preconceived notion in the masses that Marutis are fuel efficient and are low on maintenance.

Audi RS6 Avant Review
Mumbai: I won't lie. I'm slightly numb as I whack away at the keyboard. My neck hurts a bit, and I'm hyperventilating as I recall the experience. She had power. A whole lot of it. She had presence too. By the bucketloads. She yelled and snarled at me like a wild animal. She wouldn’t maim me, I was sure. The moment I laid eyes on her, I was sure she’d be a handful. Yet, I was sure I wanted all of it. Over the little time we spent together, I discovered the flipside to her angry personality. She was caring. She kept me safe. She announced her arrival in a way fit for kings, and her departure had guys snapping their necks. Hmm, this was good. Very, very good indeed. Read More
