Hi, I have recently purchased the Honda Amaze ZX CVT and would like suggestions on a few accessories and upgrades. For TPMS, I am looking for an internal type system that can sync with the infotainment system, within a budget of ₹10,000, and without an additional display unit (like Blaupunkt TPMS). For a dual dashcam, I prefer one with Sony Starvis 2 sensors (front and rear), with a budget of ₹10,000-₹12,000. Additionally, should I consider upgrading to an electronic rear-view mirror (eRVM)? Also, my car currently has Goodyear tyres. Should I upgrade to Yokohama, or continue with the stock tyres?

For your Honda Amaze ZX CVT, go for a SensAiry internal TPMS and a 70mai A510 Dual dashcam – this combo matches your brief, keeps the cabin clean with no extra display, and stays within budget. SensAiry’s in-tyre sensors talk to your phone, and you can see pressures and temperatures on the car screen via Android Auto, so there’s no need for a separate reader; it usually comes in under Rs 10,000 for four sensors plus fitting. 

Note that Android integration is better; with an iPhone, you’ll mainly use the phone app rather than CarPlay. Get it installed at a good tyre shop so valves are tightened correctly, and the wheels are rebalanced.

For the dashcam, the 70mai A510 Dual gives you a Sony Starvis 2 sensor for the front camera and a solid rear channel in the Rs 10,000-Rs 12,000 band. At this price, you rarely get Starvis 2 at both ends, so night number plates from the rear will be decent rather than class-leading. If you want Starvis 2 for both front and rear, you’ll have to stretch for something like the Viofo A229 Plus Duo; if that feels too expensive, stick with the A510. In all cases, use a hardwire kit with an add-a-fuse (no wire cutting) and a good 128GB U3 card.

Yes, upgrade to an auto-dimming inside mirror - it cuts night-time glare and eye strain. A straightforward UNO Minda or Blaupunkt auto-dimming IRVM works well. Just check the mount compatibility for the Amaze and consider dealer-side installation for warranty peace of mind.

Keep the Goodyear tyres for now, they’re new and perfectly fine for daily use. If, after a few months, you find road noise or wet grip not to your liking, then switch in the same size to Yokohama Earth 1. Set pressures to the door sticker values on cold tyres after the TPMS install and run the app calibration once.

Hi team, I am looking to buy a new car with a budget of 14 lakh. My daily running is 50KM. I would be using it for just office commutes. This is going to be my second car. I already have a Toyota Innova Crysta. I have shortlisted: Honda Amaze ZX CVT, Thar 1.5 RWD (I am afraid of the upcoming diesel ban), and Tata Punch EV 40 KW Smart plus variant. Please help me finalise one.

Go for the Tata Punch EV Smart + 40. For a 50 km daily office run and as a second car alongside your Innova Crysta, it fits your use best right now. It is small on the outside, easy to park, and the smooth electric drive makes stop-and-go traffic stress-free.As a daily beater, it is quiet, quick, and has enough ground clearance for bad patches. If you can install a home charger in your parking, you can charge overnight and forget about fuel pumps. Tata also has the widest EV service reach today, which helps for long-term peace of mind.One thing to be aware of is that you must have a reliable place to charge at home or office; otherwise living with any EV becomes awkward.If home charging is not possible, pick the Honda Amaze ZX CVT instead. The CVT is very smooth, the car is light to drive, and Honda service gives you peace of mind as well. I would skip the Mahindra Thar 1.5 RWD for a daily 50 km city run. It is a heavy, 3-door manual, rides firm, and your diesel ban worry is valid in many cities over time.Overall, the Punch EV Smart+ will make your commute calmer and simpler. Just confirm charger installation before you book.

I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and the Honda Amaze. Which car is better and why?

Pick the Maruti Suzuki Dzire; between these two, it is the better all-around choice for most buyers. It is very easy to drive in the city, with light steering and controls, and the cabin feels a touch nicer and more up to date than the Honda Amaze. Space in the back is good for two adults, the ride is comfortable over broken roads, and Maruti’s huge service network makes ownership simple almost anywhere in India. One thing to be aware of: if you want an automatic, the Dzire’s AMT is fine for easygoing driving, but you can feel a slight jerk when moving at very low speeds. Pick the Honda Amaze CVT instead if you mainly want a very smooth automatic for heavy traffic and a larger boot for luggage. The Honda CVT feels silkier in stop-go traffic than the Dzire’s AMT.

I need to have a dashcam for my car but I cannot hardwire it to the car battery as my car is new and under warranty for the next 5 years. Cost isn't an issue but need to have all based covered. Please recommend.

Go for the BlackVue DR970X‑2CH with the B‑130X battery pack; it gives 4K front + 1080p rear recording and around 14-20 hours of parking mode without tapping any fuses, so your 5‑year warranty stays safe. Globally, this combo sits in the premium bracket and typically works out to roughly Rs 80,000-1,00,000 landed in India (camera, battery, card and installation), depending on the importer and duties. Because it’s usually imported or bought via specialist installers rather than officially retailed, treat this as an approximate street price, not an official MRP.Since you can’t hardwire, the dedicated battery lets you power parking mode via the 12V socket only, with no fuse taps. For “all bases covered”, you get buffered parking clips (saving a few seconds before and after an impact), dual‑band Wi‑Fi (2.4/5 GHz) for quick downloads, and optional LTE for cloud alerts and live view. The camera uses a supercapacitor instead of a lithium cell, which is safer and more reliable in 45–50°C cabin heat typical of Indian summers. Pair it with a 256 GB high‑endurance microSD card, and you’ll store roughly 10-14 hours of 4K + 1080p loop footage, depending on bitrate.The trade‑off is charge time: via just the 12V socket, the B‑130X typically needs roughly 60-120 minutes of driving to fully top up, so short hops limit how long parking mode can run.If you want an easier, officially available alternative in India with MRP, the Thinkware U1000 2CH (Rs 49,999 MRP on Thinkware India) plus a 256 GB card is an excellent local option. But their iVolt Mini battery ( Rs 24,999 MRP) requires hardwiring, which doesn’t fit your “no hardwire” brief.
