Fortunately for me my father does have a fondness for nice wheels deep inside. He looks forward to his next purchase but thats only after I push him with a few reviews to read, some nice photos and of course some good figures on our balance sheet to prove my case in point

My fav car was a European Fiesta hatchback 2004 2 door 2 liter sports model that I had when I was in South Africa.

Hey Guys any RD-350 fanatics out here . Used to own one a long time back,,, still long for it, man. It used to give a royal mileage of 18-20 kpl when in good tune but there's just no bike quite like it on the roads today. It's specs, just to refresh your memories--- 30.5 bhp, twin cylinder, twin mikunis, Reed valve Torque Induction (also found in in the younger sister - RX100) a tacho and a speedo, six speed gearbox ...... al this in the Eighties man. Just for comparision... Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSI is a pedestrian 21 bhp!!

It took him a decade more to finally decide he is ready to climb on the luxury car bandwagon. The C gave us it's share of nightmares but when it came home it was special alright, the only car till date that my father himself came to the showroom to take delivery. It meant a lot when we got it.

I know that feeling. The E was the same for us. That was the only time my father went to take delivery as well. The other cars were either picked up by the driver or the dealership people came home to deliver it.

Mine was a 1996 model sold two years back and regret the action almost everyday...heck I learnt driving on it.

FIAT UNO 1.7D ELX. Faithful, ultra-reliable and frugal workhorse. I dropped a tear when i saw it being taken away by the used car dealer.

My favourites in chronological order are my(our) Lambretta. Bought in the 60s by my father before I came into the picture and sold off by my father after I was again out of the picture (bought my first car). The other favourite vehicle is my 1998 Honda city 1.3 Exi which I sold off in 2008(Multiple organ failure).

This at a point of time was an all time fav at college and Coimbatore was the place where I used to see them the most.

Premier Padmini - I love the roar of the engine
Maruti 800 - Small and cute
Maruti Stingray - Handsome tallboy

Maruti Omni (1984)- Ours was the among the first 100 cars produced by Maruti Udyog Limited in their first year. Have such fond memories of all the road trips my dad took us on.

Maruti Wagon-R - (2000) Again it was among the first few cars produced in India. I got it the same month I finished my graduation and had started my internship. Fond memories of with friends.

Santro xing - (2003) Loved the design and the refinement levels as compared to the Wagon R , which the Santro Xing replaced.

Hyundai Getz -(2005) For the powerful engine.

Hyundai Verna -Fluidic (2012) - Design, the amazingly smooth and powerful 1.6 L petrol. Also a host of then first in class features such as auto dimming RVM, bluetooth connectivity , airbags to name a few.

Hyundai Creta SX Petrol (2016) - Loved it the moment I saw it for its SUVish stance and better handling and ride quality as compared with the Verna.

BMW X1 - Xline (2018) - In my opinion the current X1 offers more value for money in terms of engine capabilities, cabin space and is a more driver's car when I compared to the competition (Q3, GLA). I find the twin turbo addictive.

My 2013 Audi Q5 3.0TDI would qualify the slot I guess. The powerful 3L diesel is a gem of a motor, offering seamless power at any rpm in sport mode. Added to this is its reliability factor. Having clocked 54,000kms in 6 years, the car still runs like new and is a pleasure to drive, be it in the city or the highways. Periodic servicing is all that has been done to the car
