Should the Polo make a comeback to India?
https://mavcbr.com/update/polo-india-icon-comeback-makeinindia/3117484
The short answer is yes. But, let’s dive deeper.
Recently, the Golf GTI, which is the godfather of all hot hatches, and probably the most iconic hot hatch of all time, made a trip to India. Quite an expensive trip, a CBU trip to India. Which means it’s expensive. A bit above 50 lakh rupees. And no manual. However, I have a nagging suspicion that people will still buy it. Because, the Golf GTI might be the last time a hot hatch makes an entry into India. And people know this, which is why I s...
Hot Hatches: An Indian tragedy
https://mavcbr.com/update/hot-hatches-fun-tragedy-dying-rare/3114780
Yay! Hot hatches. I am serious, when I say that they are my most favorite type of car. They are the happiest type of car ever, in my opinion. I always wanted, and still want, a hot hatch. More badly than a sedan, or a pickup truck, or a jeep, or a rear-wheel-drive sports car which are all my favorites. It is the only type of car that can be more fun than a Porsche to drive. The best type of car for Indian enthusiasts, in my opinion. Forget the SUVs, lol! They are hatchbacks that are based on a...

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating for a long time. I wanted to upload, but couldn’t upload due to academic commitments. Just college stuff, to simply put it. Now, you must be wondering, how do you stay cool in your car even in the intense Bombay heat, and stay warm in your car in the intense winters of Kashmir? How does the heater and air-conditioner in your car work? Let’s find out.
So, to start off, the A/C in your car uses a liquid stored in a pressurized, air-tight can, which is called a...
Favorite cars in movies
https://mavcbr.com/update/favorite-cars-in-movies/2748510
We car-guys dream as well, like regular people. Let’s face it, most of what’s shown in the movies isn’t real, most of it is fake and made-up, and the other half of it is done by talented stunt drivers like Ben Collins (the ex-Stig in Top Gear). Not to mention Rohit Shetty rolling over cars like there is no tomorrow. But, the movies are what inspire most of us, they are the things that made us dream of a better world, better possibilities, and better cars. Okay, I digress, let’s cut to the chas...
Do you really need a body-on-frame SUV?
https://mavcbr.com/update/do-you-really-need-a-body-on-frame-suv/2721775
It is 2024. It seems that in India, monocoque, front-wheel drive cars, that are of the SUV body-style and look like raised and enlarged versions of hatchbacks, are the trend (Subcompact, compact, mid-size, full-size I am referring to all of them here, even the Innova Hycross). Everyone wants one of these, hell, my father just welcomed one home. SUV purists, a rather weird type of human species known as the “enthusiasts”, and irritating snobs, like me, however, hate this trend. A real SUV accor...

“Good things come in small packages”
-Aesop
It is 2024. Traffic in India is increasing. People still want to buy bigger SUVs. But, be honest with me. Do you really need it? Is it adding any space and practicality to your life? Most of them aren’t even real SUVS! They are just hatchbacks, with raised ground clearance! They are more expensive, heavier, and less fuel efficient, and actually have lesser space than hatchbacks! So, let me give you a few reasons why you would want to buy a hatchb...
