With the New Burgman street, is it worth going for the top-end dual-tone TFT model over the base model with the LCD screen?

•11w

In terms of real-world functionality, the LCD screen on the base variant of the Suzuki Burgman Street can do pretty much everything the higher variant's colour TFT screen can do. In typical Japanese fashion, both displays are well laid out with all the pertinent information, but aren't cluttered. The only situation where the TFT dash will have a leg up over the LCD screen is in the fact that it will be easier to read when the sun is directly overhead.

But the screens aren't the only area of difference. The top variant of the Burgman also comes with a nifty keyless ignition system, which comes in handy on a day-to-day basis. For the small difference in asking price, these feel-good features more than make up for it in the long run, and we'd recommend you stretch for them if you can. On the flip side, the lower variant has the same mechanicals, colours and styling, so if you are on a strict budget and have no need for these frills, saving some money and buying the base model is also a good idea. It entirely depends on what sort of experience you're after.

I am planning to buy my first car, mainly for a 6-7 km one-way office commute in Mumbai, with occasional city and highway trips. I prefer an automatic and have a budget of around Rs 18-19 lakh with BH registration. I am avoiding diesel because of DPF concerns and EVs because my housing society does not have charging facilities. What are some good options?

Go for a petrol automatic car. Your usage is predominantly city with a short daily commute, and diesel DPF issues are most likely to occur in exactly this kind of stop-start urban driving. Electric cars are ruled out for now due to the lack of home charging, so a petrol automatic is the most sensible and hassle-free choice.Within your budget, the Kia Seltos CVT is a strong recommendation. It offers a more premium cabin, is feature-rich, and is a spacious and comfortable car. On E20, do not let it influence your decision. Modern petrol engines are engineered to handle E20, and the impact is largely limited to a small drop in fuel efficiency. There is no official roadmap beyond E20 at this stage, so it should not be a deciding factor.

I have booked the Honda ADV160. At the time of booking, the showroom claimed that the on-road price would not exceed Rs. 1.80 lakh. However, Honda has now officially announced that the ex-showroom price itself is around Rs. 1.70 lakh. At this price, does the ADV160 offer good value for money considering what Honda is offering? Also, does the Indian-spec version come with gas-charged rear shocks? I could not see any gas-charged units in the images of the Indian variant. Please advise.

Our advice here would be to keep your booking intact for now and reserve your slot for the ADV160, but talk to the dealership and make it clear that you will need a thorough test ride before you make the full payment. On paper, the ADV160 does offer you a lot of features, tech, practicality and performance but buying such an expensive scooter without riding it first wouldn't be smart. If you don't seem convinced after the test ride, then you can always ask for a full refund.

Hi everyone, I’m planning to buy a Tata Nexon and would really appreciate some advice from current Nexon owners or anyone who has recently compared these variants. My current options are the Nexon Creative AMT, which is around Rs 12.46 lakh on-road, and the Creative AMT Camo, which costs around Rs 12.90 lakh on-road. The difference is roughly Rs 44,000. I’m particularly interested in the Camo for its additional features and the Munnar Mist colour, but I’m wondering whether the extra Rs 44,000 is actually worth paying over the regular Creative AMT. My priorities are good long-term ownership, genuinely useful features rather than cosmetic additions, safety and comfort, and decent resale value. I’m also planning to keep the car for several years, and my overall budget is strictly under Rs 13 lakh on-road. So, which would be the better choice: the Creative AMT to save Rs 44,000, the Creative AMT Camo by paying the extra Rs 44,000, or skipping the Nexon and considering another manufacturer or variant under Rs 13 lakh? If buying with this budget today, which one would you choose and why? I’d also be interested in hearing from anyone who has already booked or owns the Camo, particularly regarding its unique features, 360-degree camera and dashcam functionality, and whether the Camo package feels worth the premium.

Go for the Tata Nexon Creative AMT Camo. The premium is justified by the additional features, especially the 360-degree camera with dashcam functionality, which is genuinely useful in daily driving and parking situations. Its larger 12.3-inch Harman touchscreen infotainment system is also a great addition to the feature list. The Camo package also adds a unique visual identity with the Munnar Mist colour, which helps the car stand out. The extra Rs 44,000 you are spending does get you a fair bit of useful kit and, since you are planning on keeping the car for a long time, it’s worth spending a little extra now to keep the tech feeling fresh for longer. From a long-term ownership perspective, the Nexon remains a strong choice with its solid safety credentials and comfortable ride. However, the service experience of Tata cars can be inconsistent depending on the city and dealership, so check your dealer’s reputation before you commit.The Creative AMT Camo strikes a good balance between value and features, making it a solid pick within your Rs 13 lakh budget.

I’m planning to buy an electric scooter, but unfortunately, there aren’t many options that come with both ABS and traction control. Recently, I was riding my dad’s scooter when the front wheel locked up. Although I like the Ather Apex, I’m not comfortable with the fact that it doesn’t come with ABS. I have a couple of questions. Will all electric scooters eventually be mandated by law to have ABS? I also like the TVS X electric scooter, as it’s fun to ride. Is it a safe choice in terms of maintenance, considering it’s a relatively new model? I don’t use the scooter much and ride only around 1,000km a year. This is mainly a purchase for my happiness. My budget is up to Rs 5 lakh. I’m not considering a petrol scooter because of my low usage and the additional maintenance it would require. Any advice would be appreciated.

We know you are inclined towards an electric scooter but today the tiny pool of e-scooters that have ABS aren't very convincing options, despite their hefty price tags. Your options are Keeway Hypevolt-R, Yamaha Aerox E and TVS X, all of which (while they do fit in your budget) are quite expensive for what they offer you. Instead, since you have super low running, we'd strongly urge you to consider a hassle-free option like the Suzuki Access 125. Not only will you save a big chunk of money, ICE scooter maintainance is fairly straightforward with your low usage and given that the Access is a very popular option, sourcing parts and spares should be a quick and inexpensive affair. If you must have an EV with ABS, you should decide between the three options suggested above based on which one has a dealership & service centre near your residence.

I am buying my first car and want a petrol manual hatchback. I have no daily running, my budget is around Rs 7 lakh, and I have to park the car on a crowded road where space is limited. Which car should I consider?

•3d

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. With no daily running and a tight budget, you want a car that is easy to park, reliable and cheap to maintain. The Wagon R is compact, which makes it much easier to squeeze into tight parking spots in crowded areas. It is also very easy to drive, has a light clutch and is extremely affordable to run and maintain. Maruti’s service network is the best in the country, so you will not have to worry about finding a service centre nearby. The engine is peppy enough for city driving, and the car is simple and fuss-free, which is exactly what you want for your first car. At around Rs 7 lakh, it fits your budget comfortably and leaves room for a higher variant.If you want something slightly bigger, the Hyundai Exter is a solid choice, but you will be looking at the base variant within your budget. The Maruti Suzuki car mentioned above is the more rounded package for your needs.

I will be booking the Atlantic Blue 390R next month. I am from Ahmedabad and recently visited the dealership for a test ride and quotation. The quotation they provided is attached in the photo. Before I book the motorcycle, I want to understand what the following charges are for: 1. Municipality Charges: I have never heard of this charge. Is it compulsory? 2. 5-Year Extended Warranty: The dealer said it covers only engine wear and tear. Is this really worth getting? Has anyone actually used this coverage, or is it just an additional way of charging consumers? 3. HYPO: I assume I won’t have to pay this since I am buying the motorcycle outright with cash. Is that correct?

Congratulations on your new KTM 390 Duke R - we're sure you're in for a hair-raising journey. Let’s break down the charges:Municipality Charges: This is not a standard charge everywhere, but some cities levy a small fee at the time of registration, usually for road maintenance or local transport infrastructure. It’s typically a few hundred rupees and is collected by the RTO. If it’s a significant amount, ask the dealer for a breakup or check with your local RTO agent.5-year extended warranty: This is a genuine KTM-backed product, but it’s important to understand what it covers. It’s essentially an extension of the standard warranty, but after the initial period, it usually covers only major engine and gearbox components, not wear-and-tear items like clutch plates, brake pads or consumables. Whether it’s worth it or not depends on your ownership plans. If you plan to keep the bike long-term and keep it stock, then it's definitely worth shelling out the small amount, as it will give you peace of mind in the long run.HYPO: This is a hypothecation charge, which is only applicable if you’re taking a loan. If you’re buying the bike outright, you don’t need to pay this.A couple of additional tips: check if the insurance premium quoted is competitive – you can often get a better deal by buying it yourself online. Also, ask for a detailed breakup of the “handling” or “logistics” charges - if you don't seem convinced by these, tell the dealer to remove them.Overall, most of these charges are legitimate, and some we would even recommend you spend on (like the extended warranty), but it’s always worth asking for a detailed breakup and questioning anything that doesn’t make sense. Happy riding!
