MINI Cooper

The Buying Experience was very good.I got a good deal at the showroom.They provided a excellent service. I test drive the car 3 times a good range of kilometes,I got what I needed.The car has got a compact design.Being a Electric car Initially I had a range anxiety but after few weeks of drive I was totally satisfied.Even I had a long drive to Shillong,got some charging stations problem but that was obvious.Service and maintenance cost of the car is a bit on the higher side.Till now I had only 1 servicing.The car is small and compact perfect for the city along with a good electric range.Fun to Drive especially for couples with a Romantic FM on.But con in this car is it have tight Rear seat.Range could be more better.Anyways,it was a good decision for choosing this Car.

my dreamy car

i love this car / this is my dream car. this is very comfortable and very amazing car. looking very very beautiful , high performance and excellent car. i can drive this car and i become purchase this car very soon.

Mini Cooper SE — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre21 Oct 2022

There's hardly anyone who wouldn't know about the brand Mini. And you'd be certainly living under a rock if you are unaccustomed to car manufacturers bringing in electric vehicles. This Mini Cooper SE is the electric version of the iconic Mini Cooper hatchback. In place of a conventional internal combustion engine, there's now an electric motor paired with a battery. The best part is that none of the Mini's design elements have changed. This includes the round headlamps, two-door body style, and a compact footprint. Lest we forget, even Brit elements like in the tail lamps and now the UK electric plug design in the alloys. What about the driving fun? We shall get to that bit in the due course.

Audi A3 Cabriolet 35TFSI First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair29 Apr 2017

If the sight of a convertible ever tugged at your heart, then the Audi A3 Cabriolet is one that can easily lure you, especially in that lip-smacking shade Audi calls ‘Vegas Yellow’. And we can’t help but state that it was an attention grabber as long as it was in the hands of our testers. Regardless of age, everyone just dropped their jaws at the sight of this car, and it is this experience which makes up the A3 Cabriolet’s ultimate selling point.

Audi A3 Cabriolet

By Desirazu Venkat10 Apr 2015

It was roughly about seven years ago that I had a tryst with an Audi sports car which changed the course of my destiny. I had just completed my fifth semester of college and in that ‘make something out-of-myself- in- life’ mode I was interning with a publication. But it was not a newspaper or magazine and after two dull stints I had finally got the chance to train with an auto magazine (ironically called Automan) based out of Oman where my dad was working.
