Honda Amaze ZX automatic or i20 Sportz automatic, which one is better?

Asked by: Kashif

The Honda Amaze's 1.2-litre petrol engine feels a bit livelier and more effortless in terms of performance, compared to an i20 petrol-IVT. With it, you also get a large boot, as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which could be a deal-maker for some.

The Hyundai car, on the other hand, has a smoother, more refined engine, and overall, it feels better built than the Honda Amaze.

In summary, if ADAS and a boot are important to you, go for the Amaze; else the Hyundai i20 IVT delivers a more premium experience and is the more rounded choice.

Asked by: Mani I am 53 years old and 6 feet 2 inches tall. I have just learned to drive and am still not very confident. I want to buy my first car for a family of four. My budget is Rs 7 to 9 lakh. I will drive around 40 km per day in the city and around 1,400 km on the highway every three months. Please suggest which car would be good for me. The Maruti Suzuki Swift or Baleno will suit you well. The Swift is easy to drive, efficient and spacious enough for four with good highway ability.The Baleno offers more space, a larger boot and a smoother, more powerful four-cylinder 1.2-litre engine. In your budget, you can get the ZXi variant of the Swift, which has a slightly better feature set than the similarly priced Zeta variant of the Maruti Suzuki Baleno.

Asked by: Jagannath Nayak I am a first-time buyer and do not have much idea about cars. Upon research, I feel a hybrid (petrol and EV) is a good option to go with. My budget is Rs 12-14 lakh, and my top priorities are safety, mileage, and comfort. I feel the Maruti Suzuki Victoris might be the right option, but I am not sure about its boot capacity. Looking at the launch of the Tata Sierra, I am also attracted to its modern features at a similar budget. Please help me decide. Or is there any other option I should be considering? Unfortunately, there isn't any hybrid vehicle in the Rs 12-14 lakh range. You will get the petrol versions of the Victoris and Tata Sierra in your budget.While the Maruti Suzuki Victoris shares a lot with the Grand Vitara, it is likely to be an efficient, reliable option. The Tata Sierra is an all-new vehicle with a new engine; hence its reliability is still unproven.If you want to buy a car immediately, go for the Victoris. Otherwise, if you can wait, we'll be putting the Sierra through our efficiency and other real-world tests in the coming weeks, and the results will be published on our website, for you to take a more informed decision.

Asked by: Nishant Hi, I am confused between the Kia Clavis NA and turbo petrol engine options. My monthly running is around 500 km in the city and on the highway, with a yearly long trip of around 5,000 km round trip. For long-term reliability, does the NA engine feel underpowered with a full load? The Kia Carens Clavis Turbo has the clear power and torque advantage and, money no object, is the better pick if you plan to frequently travel with 7 passengers onboard.That said, the Carens Clavis’ 1.5 NA petrol engine also delivers reasonable performance. It won’t be as responsive as the turbo, and you’ll feel the lack of pep on climbs with a full load, but in ordinary city and highway driving, it works just fine.

Asked by: Shreenivas Kandukuree Hi Team, I drove a Hyundai Grand i10 diesel for 10 years and, due to the unavailability of the Venue, bought a Kia Sonet Diesel HTX last month. I am 5.5 feet tall and am having difficulty with the clutch reach. I had severe calf muscle pain for a few days. I have no issues on the highway and have already covered nearly 2,000 km. I have been using a Frido seat cushion for a week, and it feels 50 per cent better with the reach. I tried various height and seat adjustments, but I am still facing clutch reach issues. I have heard from others that compact SUVs have this issue. It would be disappointing not to find a comfortable driving position in your new Kia Sonet. While you have tried different positions, a high seat set closer to the steering wheel should give you a comfortable seating position.An ideal seating position should keep you at a comfortable distance from the steering and put the pedals within easy reach. This is not a known issue on other compact SUVs.
