I feel CEO of Skoda has got it 100% right in his observance of Indian market. we may want to learn and grow.

Hi Citroën India, This is to bring to your kind notice that I, as one of the early adapters of your esteemed model the C3 Aircross have been facing difficulties with the servicing and accountability on a pretty regular basis. Having met an accident in the later part of June 2024, the vehicle was parked at the service station for a period of 2 months since parts could not be made available at the earliest to restore the damages. Although as a consumer I have not created much hue & cry about it, but I feel it is time to call out the impeccable inefficiency in operation at your end. The vehicle was purchased last year in the month of November 2023 & having being stranded in the workshop the car has effectively been driven for approx 9 months clocking about roughly 13k kms predominantly on the highway. Having previously owned vehicles from other brands in the past & having a driving experience of more than 16 years, it is beyond my comprehension that how does the clutch plate of a relatively new vehicle come to a stall. To top it off, in a matter of 2 days, I have been shared two separate estimate amounts the variation of which stands in the range of 40-50%. Would anyone care to explain why & how. Moreover, I have been requested to wait for a tentative period of 1 week since once again parts are not available. There have also been repeated queries regarding the operations of the vehicle to which the only standard response is that everything depends upon the driving style. This is by far the worst experience encountered by me upon owning a vehicle. Would definitely recommend anyone in market searching for a car not to buy Citroën India manufactured cars.

The increasing number of cars in India got me thinking. It seems like everyone has a car now! This made me wonder if it still makes sense to buy a motorcycle, especially since I was excited about getting a Royal Enfield Bullet. #RoyalEnfield #Bullet #Motorcycle I've always loved the powerful sound of a Bullet, and I was finally ready to buy one. But with so many cars around, I started to have second thoughts. Should I really get a motorcycle, or should I just buy a used car for the same price? #CarVsBike #UsedCar That's when I came across this interesting comparison between a new Bullet and a used Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. Both cost around ₹2.5 lakhs, which put them in the same price range. I loved the Bullet's strong look and its great mileage of 32 kmpl. But the Wagon R, even though it was used, offered the comfort of a car, even if it only got 19.2 kmpl. #WagonR #FuelEfficiency To help me decide, I did this calculation that compared the two: The calculation goes like - the Bullet would cost ₹31,250 per year in fuel, while the Wagon R would cost ₹52,083.3. Maintenance for the Bullet was estimated at ₹10,000 per year, while the Wagon R might cost ₹12,000 per year. Adding those costs together, the table showed that the Bullet would have a total yearly cost of ₹41,250 and the Wagon R would cost ₹64,083.3." It was a tough choice! Should I pick the fun of riding a famous motorcycle or the comfort of a used car? #Dilemma But then I realized something important. Owning a car is more affordable than ever these days, and for a family, it just makes so much sense. The comfort, safety, and convenience of having a car, especially with rising incomes and easy financing options, outweigh the slightly higher costs. Maybe it's time to ditch the motorcycle dream and embrace the practicality of a family car! #FamilyCar #Convenience #AffordableCars

The Unshakeable Giants: What Toyota Teaches Us About Building a Legacy #GlobalAuto #EVRevolution #BrandMastery Take a look at #Toyota, the undisputed king of the road. Year after year, they've consistently held the title of the best-selling car brand globally. But what's their secret sauce? Here's a hint: it's not just about churning out millions of vehicles. It's about building trust, prioritizing reliability, and constantly innovating.
