A big hello to fellow BHPians from Jersey City, USA I am Navin, originally from Chennai currently residing in Jersey City, USA. I am in my late thirties and working in financial services in New York. Residing in US for the past 9+ years. Even though I joined just now, I was a regular reader of T-BHP from 2018. I like the unbiased reviews and comments in this forum.
My first set of wheels is TVS 50 at the age of 11 and continued with Suzuki Max 100 R in the teen years and friend's RX100.
The first vehicle i own was Yamaha RX 100 at the age of 21 and Yamaha gladiator at 24 years. My car driving in India was limited to friend and family member's Alto, Sumo, Ambassador. My real interest in cars started at the age of 24 where I started to research more about cars. Before I could buy a car, I moved to USA.
In USA, I was fortunate to drive multiple cars (as rental cars and test drives) and the first car I owned was Mazda 6 sedan after 30+ test drives/rental car drives of different cars (More on that later). I have a liking for fun to drive cars and Mazda 6 served me for 60K miles in 6 years across 13 US states in snow storms, mud roads, tropical storms with winds trying to uproot the car, ghat sections, rolling hills, highways, beaches (Yes, there are places you can legally take your car to beaches)
I have to part with our beloved Mazda 6 after the rust issues in the frame (it was caused by my mistake while driving in a u-pick vegetable farm).
I currently own Jaguar F-Pace in Italian Racing Red color. I am a big SUV critic but was blown away by the ride and handling of the F-Pace. My first experience with Jaguar was little dramatic and Jaguar XF was on my mind as next car when i own Mazda 6. The F-pace replaced that place when wifey and child voted me out 2-1 in SUV Vs Sedan debate.
Looking forward to be a good contributor of whatever i know, stand corrected on whatever misconception i have and leverage the experience and opinion of the forum members on the information i need.
Once again, happy to join Team-BHP.
