I am getting the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT for Rs. 9.5 lakh and the Honda Amaze VX CVT for Rs. 10.5 lakh. Which one should I buy?

Pick the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT. Besides being Rs 1 lakh more affordable, the i20 feels like a more refined, smooth and polished car in comparison. The cabin feels a touch nicer with better quality of materials and fit-finish, and the rear seat is wider if you occasionally seat three.

If you often do airport runs or road trips with family, the Amaze CVT VX could makes sense on account of its huge boot. But overall, the i20 IVT is the better pick.

I am 65 years old and currently drive a Hyundai Eon Era Plus. I am planning to buy a new car with a budget of under Rs. 15 lakh. My usage is fairly limited - about 40 km per trip, 3-4 times a week, along with 2 - 3 long trips of around 600 km each year. My priorities are: Good fuel efficiency, Low maintenance costs, Comfortable seating for five people, Good ground clearance, and a commanding driving position with good road visibility. I have shortlisted the Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift, Hyundai Venue, and Skoda Kylaq. Which of these would you recommend?

Based on your usage and priorities, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza is the most suitable choice. Your weekly running is low, so a petrol engine makes the most sense, and the Brezza’s naturally aspirated petrol engine is reliable, efficient and easy to maintain. It also offers good ground clearance and a comfortable ride, which will be helpful on your occasional long trips. This Maruti Suzuki car is also one of the more spacious compact SUVs, making it a comfortable option for five passengers. The upcoming facelift is expected to add the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Fronx as an option, but given your requirements, the existing naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol is the better option.The Honda Amaze is a good sedan, but it does not offer the same ground clearance, road presence or interior space as the Brezza. The Hyundai Venue is a strong alternative, and the Skoda Kylaq is a good driver’s car, but the Brezza has an edge in terms of reliability, long-term ownership costs, as well as the price itself.Overall, the Brezza strikes the best balance between fuel efficiency, low maintenance, comfort and practicality for your needs.

I'm getting a used 45K-run 2024 Curvv EV Empowered+ A 55 for Rs. 16.5 lakh. Do you think it is a fair price? I haven't negotiated yet. What will I be missing compared to the Series X? Is the back seat of the older model comfortable for long journeys? I heard there were some complaints earlier, and they improved it in the new one. Was there anything else that was an issue apart from the headroom? How bad was it, especially if a tall passenger won't be sitting in the back? Also, are there any known issues with the car? What should I double-check before buying a used one?

Rs 16.5 lakh for a 2024 Tata Curvv EV Empowered+ A 55 with 45,000km on the clock isn't very tempting, and you should definitely negotiate further. The car has covered a fair distance in a short time, so the price should reflect that. The Empowered+ A 55 is a well-equipped variant, and you are not missing out on anything major compared to the Series X - it gets some cosmetic tweaks and minor feature updates, but the core mechanical package remains the same.The back seat of this Tata car has been a point of discussion, mainly due to the sloping roofline, which affected headroom for taller passengers. If you do not have tall passengers regularly sitting at the back, it is not a deal-breaker. The seat itself is comfortable enough for long journeys, but the headroom limitation is something to be aware of. In terms of known issues, the Tata Curvv EV has not thrown up any widespread reliability concerns so far. Before buying used, check the battery health report, ensure the car has been serviced at authorised Tata workshops, inspect the tyres and brakes for wear, and look for any signs of accident damage or paintwork inconsistencies. Also, check that all charging cables and accessories are present.Overall, it is a good car, but push for a better deal given the mileage.

Hi, I am a teacher and a first-time female driver with a budget of Rs. 11.5 lakh. I am looking for an automatic car that I plan to keep for the next 15 years, but I am confused about whether to buy a petrol AMT, CNG AMT, or an EV due to the uncertainty surrounding ethanol blending. My daily commute is 46 km, of which 22 km is on the highway, 18 km is on normal roads, and 6 km is on bumpy village roads in poor condition. Please recommend the most suitable fuel type that will keep my overall cost of ownership low.

We'd recommend a petrol automatic. With a daily running of around 46km and an ownership period of 15 years, it offers the best balance of low ownership costs, reliability and ease of use for a first-time driver.We wouldn't let E20 fuel influence your decision. Modern E20-compliant petrol cars are designed to run on it, and there is no official roadmap beyond E20. It isn't a reason to avoid buying a petrol car today. A CNG automatic will certainly reduce your fuel bills, but the higher purchase price, reduced boot space and limited automatic options make CNG car less attractive unless fuel savings are your overriding priority. An electric car will have the lowest running costs, but at your budget, you'll have to compromise on size or features, and recovering the higher upfront cost will take time.Given your budget and usage, we'd look at the Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift automatic which will launch soon if you can stretch slightly, or the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Delta+ AGS if you want to stay within budget. Both are easy to drive, have good ground clearance for the 6km of rough village roads and come backed by Maruti Suzuki's extensive service network. If you prefer a smoother automatic, the Hyundai Exter SX AMT is also worth considering.
