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...
10 sedans that were forgotten by time
https://mavcbr.com/update/10-sedans-that-were-forgotten-by-time/2674237
Yes, you would call me a sedan lover after this. But somewhere or the other, as impartial as I would like to be, the sedans in this list are just so damn good that you will want to buy one after looking at them and driving them. But, time has forgotten them and they did not get the sales numbers that they deserved, so they weren’t that successful, so to speak. But, they were damn good cars, and if you want to do a classic car auction of your car in the future, one of these has the potential to...
Drive to express, not to impress

Okay, this is a rather long-drawn and philosophical one, but if you don’t agree with me, and want to throw something at me, it’s fine. What I am saying is my humble and honest opinion, and it’s mature advice for your own good (More mature than what’s expected from my age group LOL).
India is a status driven society. People have a tendency to aspire to buy expensive things, like the latest iPhone (Pro Max it is!), the gaming laptop with the most advanced specs (RTX fanboys looking at you righ...

“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...
Sedans are dying! Why?
https://mavcbr.com/update/sedans-are-dying-why/2648598
Sedans are a dying breed. The compact-SUV and all the other SUV segments are dominating the Indian market. The Indian car market wants simple, compact cars with a ton of features, safety, decent performance, and they should look like SUVs. That has marked the death knell for the Sedan segments. No one is buying sedans anymore. There aren’t many sedans either. Sales aren’t encouraging. But why are they any good? Why should we cherish them?
Now before you start complaining about sedans not cle...

Beginner? Want to improve your driving? Want to be faster? Want to show-off your driving skills and be a faster driver? Try to be smooth. Being smooth with your inputs, as a driver, or rider, will make you better. Don’t believe me? Sounds bogus? Look at every amazing racing driver, all the amazing drivers (including Sir Jackie Stewart and the Ex-Stig), whoever in your family you respect as a good driver, hell you can ask them, they will tell you that their secret to success is that they are smo...
