Hello Friends!
This is my very first post here and I am super excited. I am from Bangalore, the place so called as the garden city of India (not sure which garden people refer to. Its probably the concrete gardens).
I own a Hyundai Grand i10 Asta (O) petrol version. This is my story. Both me and my wife worked in the same office When me and my wife decided its our time to buy a car, we were looking at the Maruti Alto K10. We reside in Jayanagar and there was a Maruti showroom on Bannerghatta road, very close to where we stay. We decided to pay a visit to the showroom one fine morning. However, on our way to the showroom, close to Sagar hospital (previously Sagar-Apollo hospital) my wife saw a huge hoarding of another car of Hyundai make. She pointed her fingers at the board and told me "Did you see that car?". I was not very keen on even checking but there was a Advaith Hyundai showroom right in front. The Maruti showroom was a little further ahead. There was no harm in just taking a glance isn't it? So we stepped in, saw the Grand i10 sitting there waiting for us to test-drive it. The lady walked up to us and asked us to take a test-drive. Reluctantly, I agreed. The car we drove was the top end model. The moment, i revved it up, I could feel the difference from the WangonR that my dad owned. The pickup, the smoothness, interior build quality was far better than the WagonR which i had previously driven. My wife instantly liked it. We completely forgot about the Alto K10. We booked the Asta (O) petrol version, and have been living happily ever after.
Its been almost 3 years and ~21,000 km of driving so far and I have not been disappointed ever since. Now, I feel its time to do some upgrades which I am looking forward to. This is where this wonderful forum comes into picture. I am really looking forward to reading some great posts already contributed and all the expert advice that has surely benefited countless people who own cars. And if I am worthy, I might some day share my own views and expertise that can benefit another newbie like me.
On a personal note, I love PC games, have a killer gaming PC at home. My wife sometimes wonders if I married her own my PC. I love travelling and trekking too. I am a good writer, I love entertaining people with my god given gift to write and have made some really funny posts already contributed on Facebook.
Thanks for hanging in there an dreading my post up to the end. I look forward to interacting with all of you and hopefully learn a lot more from all the experts about my car and automobiles in general.
