BHPian viXit<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n 4-car garage currently. Most of them are unused.<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoyed 10 years with the car, with no major issues till now, and never broke down or left us stranded. Mechanically great too. But a decade is a good run and I feel like Paisa Vasool is done.<\/p>\n What next?<\/strong><\/p>\n Most likely replacing 2 of the existing cars with one new.<\/p>\n Functional Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n The budget is flexible and around 40L as of now. But let’s be realistic there is nothing that conforms to my requirements in that. So what would you buy if you were in my position?<\/p>\n The only car interesting enough to wait for, seems to be the Thar 5-door. Hopefully, niggles are sorted through the Beta testers of That 3 door. If it has FSD, should fit the bill. And not too much tech so should be fairly reliable.<\/p>\n I might be coming across as an idiot just nitpicking but it truly feels hard upgrading from a car so simple yet useful. Never felt a lack of features or convenience, felt lined, illuminated and soft open storage, cubby holes, door pockets, auto down on all doors, heated and super large ORVMs, Auto-dimming mirror, 5 full-size alloys, a really good engine etc. kept the car really VFM.<\/p>\n Please, chime in with your input.<\/p>\n Storme is to be inspected by Cars 24 days after. Estimated 3.8L value.<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian Haze<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n I would just like to say that almost all of us have a natural subconscious tendency to look at the vehicles we own with rosy nostalgia-tinted glasses, no matter how average they are.<\/p>\n I would also like to remind you that every single car that you have listed and ‘rejected’ above, all of them have a third row which is infinite times better and more comfortable than the Storme’s side facing the third row.<\/p>\n I would suggest that first, you decide whether or not you need the third row, and then decide. And if you don’t, then this line in the opening post doesn’t really need to be there.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian ebonho<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n I have been having exactly the same thoughts. There really is nothing that big and spacious and comfortable and sturdy and having that sort of presence. So I decided to keep spending on her, tolerating some of her tantrums, and keep her. 10 years and counting here too. EX 4×2 Astern Black.<\/p>\n The Innova Crysta is the only one that comes close, and I would rather keep driving my Storme, to be honest. The showroom and workshop guys say there is a Storme Classic coming in the next 6 months. The same body, completely modern inners and engine. Waiting!<\/p>\n 10 years of driving the Storme have totally spoiled me for other cars. Now when my Storme was in the workshop being worked on, I drove the Baleno for a couple of days to the office. And I felt as if I was go-karting on the road. I’ve heard diesel engines go lacs of kilometres. My Baleno is soon to enter her 20th year. My Storme and my Duke are both in their 10th years. My Bullet 500 is in its 22nd year. My Hercules Top Gear is in her 25th year.<\/p>\n And I am in my 53rd.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian condor<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n The 5-door Thar is still a few months away. From the current list and comments shared, XUV7OO seems to be the one that will be accepted by the family.<\/p>\n A sinking feeling just to read that 3.8L. May as well drive it into the ground – but then even that will take years!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
