I'm a proud owner of a 2013 Octavia TDI and have driven over 1.5 lakh km without any issues. I'm forced to do away with my car soon because of the diesel rule for 10-year-old cars in Delhi. I'm planning to buy another sedan, preferably petrol this time, and my budget is Rs 65 lakh. It will be driven by me and sometimes by my chauffeur. Please help.

Autocar India says: The BMW 330Li is a good option for you as it's nice to drive, has adequate space at the rear and, with plenty of kit, it's a well-rounded car and a worthy upgrade. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is thoroughly modern and very competent, although its back seat isn't as comfy as the 330Li, hence it could be second on your shortlist.
