Buying first car

How wise it is to buy KIA Seltos DCT as first car. I dont have much experience with driving car, month long of car training and then few driving here and there. Help me make a good decision

Buy it, then you will learn
Practice with some car first then buy
Go for cheaper option
Buy second hand

Don't go for seltos. There are better options available. Don't worry about learning. I booked zoomcar for 8 days and then next day bought the new car.

What are the better options and why not seltos

Build quality is not strong. Pickup not great.
Tell me your budget

Seltos owner here. Go for it. It’s an amazing vehicle. While I do agree that the external build quality could be better, I absolutely disagree with the ‘pickup not great’ statement. It’s the fastest car in the segment (gtx+ and x line) with 160bhp of power and the most fun to drive after the German twins. After sales can depend on your location but I’ve had a really good experience so far.

How did you make the decision between creta top model, seltos or going with xuv700 ax5 ?

It was easy between the creta and seltos as the seltos was the updated model and the new creta was not yet launched. I had a really bad experience with my previous car (nexon) and did not want to risk on reliability as I know a few horror stories with the XUV although I am aware that M&M cars are nowadays much ahead than Tata in terms of after sales and quality.

Don't buy a new car until you get good. Get a small cheap 2nd hand car that you can use to practise and make mistakes of.

I got a new i20 and learnt on it. Worth it. I wouldn’t prefer second hand cars cuz you’ll want a new one in no time. And get the car you wouldn’t regret 5-7 years down the line. I had booked Swift but cancelled it 2 days later and went for Hyundai.
Start driving in traffic (commute to and from the office and grocery stores) and you’ll be upto speed within 1-2 weeks.

Get a Toyota, the most reliable car out there. Mine runs smoothly even today after 11 years
