https://mavcbr.com/update/marutisuzukiwagonr/3673428
We Indians love name-calling and generalizing, don’t we? Also, we love our biases. However, this post does not have any political motivations so let me get back on track.Shit box. Uber. OTP. Tin Can. Three-cylinder tricycle. Tin box. We call this car multiple names, and Indians love to hate on it. But I am here to make a case for it. It deserves our love and respect, and it is one hell of a machine. An underrated gem, that hides in plain sight.I am talking about, the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. One...
Renault Triber-An underrated Gem
https://mavcbr.com/update/renault-triber/3664509
If you were to ask me, which is the most underrated car in the Indian market, or one of the most underrated cars, it would be, the Renault Triber.

Hatchbacks with raised ground clearance and SUV body style. They are front-wheel drive, monocoque, and are designed to be normal cars. They are n...
Hot Hatches: An Indian tragedy

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...
