Best car

I drove this car ,best in performance, It has good features in this price range.It speeds very fast and smooth driving experience.But somewhat costly car . I think adding some money We should go to BMW

Good looking car

The best performance car at this price looks & styling, performance, servicing Reliability and longevity. None of these ever caused me major repairs. Camry to 297000 miles, Corolla to 317,000 miles, Lexus to 250,000, 2nd Lexus to 239,000 miles. The engines, transmissions, and interior on all of them, were good until I either sold them or gave them to a relative. No major repairs, other than the occasional worn item, such as a seal or a radiator eventually leaking (which happened to only one Lexus). I've also previously owned a Datsun (300z), Infiniti, and Honda. Honda would be the next one on the list as far as trouble-free reliability. The Infiniti cost considerably more in service. One rule, I always change the oil every 3000 to 4000 miles, even if the manual says that I could wait longer. Fresh oil reduces friction exposure and the engine will last longer, no matter which brand of car you buy.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Long Term Review: Introduction

By Vikrant Singh28 Jan 2026

I loved the Golf GTI the first time I drove it on NATRAX’s tight, technical handling circuit. I loved it just as much during our road test in Mumbai. Sure, there were some compromises, but the GTI’s promise and allure remained intact.
