![]() Hence, my recommendation is purely from an economic perspective. I haven't had the privilege of owning one of these brands. Here's what BHPian BeMyWings had to say on the matter: Trust me, even though you drive some lovely cars, the ZS EV will bring a wide grin to your face every time you drive it - its lovely to drive in its own unique way. It is a very distinct step up and given you clearly maintain your cars well and also have the ability to hold them long, I hope the stretch to the MG will not feel that hard perhaps. I know I recommended the Nexon in the other thread (and I still think that’s the bare minimum EV you should go for) but I would really recommend pushing till the MG ZS EV if you can. I suppose this will only start attracting more such bills and since you already have a luxurious Mercedes (GLE) at your disposal, I would actually recommend selling it and buying a car which you are happy to give to a driver as well. Here's what BHPian Axe77 had to say about the matter: There's plenty of life left in ICE cars, especially for Indian market. If these and their respective range suits you, these would be a great option. (Realistically MG ZS and Nexon EV are the best options at the moment). A small hatch or crossover is much better suited to daily urban duties compared to a GLE.Īs for an EV, look at the current options within your budget. Especially considering that your other family members don't drive themselves. I would simply to suggest you to get a car that you feel comfortable in giving the keys to your driver. And the maintenance expense is only going to increase as the car gets older. Here's what BHPian agambhandari had to say on the matter:Ī car that is not being used and still demands expensive maintenance is something you should definitely get rid of. So what do we do? Sell the car for peanuts and buy a EV or continue with this, in spite of the worsening FE and small niggles and naggles? Would appreciate advise. From the earlier 10 kmph it now gives only 7 to 7.5 kmph. On taking up the matter with the service manager, he said that he knew my attention to detail and hence thought that i wanted it. When i was ill, my daughter- knowing my fad to keep the car well maintained- sent the car to the MB service and asked them to change the plastic vents ( some of them were not turning with the lever given) MB charged Rs 1.25 lakhs for this job and I nearly had another stroke when I saw the bill. One can ignore it, but unfortunately it is not in my DNA. At the same time, small niggles and naggles have started. Find it difficult to sell this beautiful car for peanuts. Lastly, My understanding is that the resale price of the C-class is peanuts, immaculately maintained, though it may well be. In fact, it was only due to my health situation last year that we were forced to employ a driver. We both are very particular about the car and its upkeep and don't like to allow drivers to use the C-Class or the GLE. Moreover, we have a 2017 GLE which we use for our outstation trips and god willing would continue to do so. Thirdly, we are installing 11.88KW solar power and being a die hard Ahmdavadi, would like to optimise returns as far as possible. In fact, we are building a new house in a small farm house scheme and I am building some staff quarters so that we could have the possibility of having a driver 24x7. We actually don't need a driver but last year i had a health situation and hence it is advisable if a driver is around for emergency requirements. ( I have no problem driving her wherever she wants, but she would probably feel more independent if she had a driver to take her on her errands and visits). Secondly, she doesn't drive and the EV would in all probability be driven by a driver. My wife wants to have a EV and i don't want 3 cars in the house for the two of us. On bad roads (with potholes) one can hear some noise from the suspension.The FE has worsened and now it gives me only 7.0 to 7.5 kmpl from the earlier 10 kmpl.It runs sweetly but off late there are two issues which are nagging: The car has been meticulously maintained and serviced only at the authorised MB service centres. I have a 2008 C Class Kompressor, driven by me and it has done only 59K kms till date. Sincerely hope you guys can help me figure out this conundrum.
