I want to buy a car for my wife for city driving of about 300-500 km per month. It must be automatic, safe and reliable. My budget is ₹10 lakh ex-showroom. I am torn between a used Honda Amaze at around ₹7 lakh and a new Amaze ZX CVT. Which should I choose?

The Honda Amaze ZX CVT is a good option for your wife. It is a spacious and comfortable car with a smooth CVT gearbox. The ZX variant is well equipped too, with features like a sunroof, a touchscreen infotainment system, and a rear parking camera.

The Amaze is also a safe car, with a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash test rating. The only downside is that the 1.2-litre petrol engine is not very powerful, and the CVT gearbox can be a bit slow to respond when you need a quick burst of acceleration.

If you are looking at a used car, the Amaze is a good option. However, we would recommend you buy a new car, as the price difference is not very large, and you will get the peace of mind of a new car warranty.
