GTO recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
Saw a fun discussion on Jalopnik recently and thought it'll be a great read here.
Here's what BHPian Dhruv29 had to say on the matter:
Here's what BHPian Sanidhya mukund had to say on the matter:
Mercedes C-class. (8 years, 27k on the odo)
Ford Ikon: (22 years, 70k on the odo):
Maruti Esteem: (27 years, 21k on the odo):
Maruti Omni: (6 years, 2 lakh on the odo):
Tata Estate: (29 years, 85k on the odo):
2021 Maruti Ertiga: (7 months, 12k on the odo):
The Merc and Ertiga are currently at their respective workshops getting fixed. Once they are back, the Ikon and Esteem will be sorted and the Omni will go in for an overhaul. The Tata Estate will probably have to wait another year.
Here's what BHPian CrAzY dRiVeR had to say on the matter:
2014 Hyundai Xcent - 30k km done - What is currently not working - well, car has been at Hyundai authorized service for 44 days now! So the whole car!
Going into the details - the supposed-to-be-reliable TC automatic transmission isn't working and identified to be an ECM issue. Catcon isn't working because it crumbled up inside like cookies.
Previous major issues include a broken crankshaft assembly bolt that resulted in the entire belt assembly falling off from the car, a couple of ABS sensors gone wrong, a/c that barely works in the summer etc.
2022 Jeep Compass - 4k km done - Too new to comment.
2012 Fiat Punto (sold last month) - 207k km done - What was not working at the time of sale? The stock ICE (Microsoft Blue&Me) gave up long back and had to be upgraded. Boot struts had lost tension and could not hold the boot up in place when opened - couldn't change it before the sale. Everything else was almost routine and changed as per the age and usage of the car.
Here's what BHPian vishy76 had to say on the matter:
I am in no mood to retain the Kwid at all. It will most probably be sold off by next month or the month after. Will be replaced by an Ignis Delta AMT in all probability.
