Click here to see what category your car falls in

• What vehicle do you own currently?
• How many vehicles does the average bhpian own?
• How many of us are there who prefer not to have the hassles of a vehicle ownership?
• How many of us own only 2-wheelers?
• How many of us have moved to EVs?
• And so many more...

It is always interesting to understand the break-up of vehicle ownership across the forum. Ask any bhpian and depending on the amount of time he's been on the forum, the answer will be as varied as possible.

Recently someone mentioned Fact is, more BHPians own 15 to 20+ lakh cars than 6 lakh rupee ones. But is it so?

Data provides the true facts. So let's get going and fill up the poll and see what facts the data throws back at us.

Note: Poll choices are basis what we use in our monthly sales tracking threads.
1. If you are confused on which segment to put your car, refer to threads like these - 1, 2, 3
2. Similarly if you are confused about your two-wheeler, refer to threads like these - 1, 2
3. If you still think your vehicle is not represented in the above list, mark it under 'Others' and put up a post explaining the same.
4. Cycles haven't been considered in above list so pardon that omission for now.
