| Indiacar's answer : Sanjay, There are issues with certain kind of CNG kits that are installed on the Ford models, but the sequential injection kits generally will not have such issues on installation. There are good kits in Landi Renzo, Tomassetto Achille, Rohan BRC to name a few that offer a good performance, however, you need to identify the installation & after sales abilities of the respective dealer in your area. |

| LUCKY ALI question : Hello Sir,
I want to buy a small car. My daily travel is about 50 KM. I would prefer to save on fuel, maintenance. Would CNG be ideal for me.
Please suggest. |
| Indiacar's answer : Lucky, For your kind of running you should either opt for a Diesel car or a vehicle fitted with CNG. You need to consider one aspect of CNG cars is that it is only available in Metros & major cities. If you travel in such areas where the availabilityof CNG is not a issue then you could go for it, alternatively the diesel car is the best option. Chevrolet Beat is a good option available. |

| RAJESH ROSHAN question : i want to mordernise my tata safari 2003 model how much it cost and where |
| Indiacar's answer : Rajesh, Modification is a endless topic, the amount you spend, it all depends on your ability. In my view you have to take extreme care of vehicles that you have modified, as in case of any repair / accident in the future rebuilding it back is a major concern.. |

| SWAMYNATHAN question : I recently picked up a Civic AT from a friend. Earlier I was driving a City MT. While, I find the comfort & luxury is definitely better, the Petrol seems to be burning off much much quicker. I am really worried whether I made a big blunder. Pls suggest & clarify. Regards, Swamy |
| Indiacar's answer : Swamy, The Civic as it is, has a lower fuel economy compared to the city, in addition it is a AT.. additionala 10-15% lower fuel economy compared to the MT. None the less, please keep in mind you are getting that additional comfort of the AT in congested traffic conditions. Once accustomed you will be happy you have opted for a AT. To take care of the fuel cost's you could install a CNG kit which will reduce your recurring fuel expenses by almost 60-65% |
|
| SWAMYNATHAN question : Hey, I need to change my Civic Car Tyres. Pls suggest whether I can go for Michelin or Yokohoma tyres or stick to Bridgstone as original. Also, it is advisable to go for one size up 205.. I want a smooth ride without compromising on mileage. Regards, Swamy |
| Indiacar's answer : Swaminathan, the comfort delivered by the tyre will depend on the aspect ratio. If you have a higher aspect ratio then you will have a softer ride, but will compensate for the road grip and vice-versa. Bridgestone service is widely available and i would recommend a Bridgestone, However, the performance of the Michelin is better compared to Bridgestone |
|
| SIVA PRASAD question : Dear Sir, decided to buy Alto or Alto k10 due to budget constraints.
1. Which one to go with, Alto or K10 said that highway driving is more than city driving and usage of AC is intermittent?
2. LPG conversion (Govt. approved) voids warranty?
3. What type of LPG kit, Sequential or closed loop? |
| Indiacar's answer : Siva, I would recommend the K10. You have the option of the factory fitted CNG/LPG and could opt for it. Alternatively if you install a system from outside the warranty will be affected. For the modern cars the Sequential injetion system is best suited. |
