•6wI want to buy a new car as a first-time buyer with a budget under ₹10 lakh and plan to buy an automatic. My preference is the Honda Amaze CVT version, but I need help deciding if it is a good long-term car with a good running average.

Autocar India
The Honda Amaze is a good compact sedan, and the CVT is a good automatic gearbox. If you do push a bit further with the pace, then there is that typical rubber band effect where the revs rise before a corresponding increase in speed.
However, on the whole, this is still better than the jerky shifts that AMTs have. In terms of long term usage, yes, the Amaze is a very reliable car and should serve you well. As for the mileage, the Amaze will not be as efficient as the Maruti Dzire, but it is still very good.
In our standard test cycle, the CVT Amaze mileage is 9.94kpl in the city cycle and 16.62kpl on the highway loop.

•3wHi, I want to buy a Car/SUV in the range 10-13L. I prefer automatic. I was looking for Honda Amaze CVT, however I have concerns on the ground clearance and mileage. My need is daily city drive of ~15km and ~120km drive once in a month and occasional long drives. I am interested in automatic version of Mahindra SUV 3XO , elevate, Skoda etc.. But I don't want lagging automatics like AMTs. Can you please share the best pick and the real life mileage it offer.

•4wMy Honda City 2025 model which is heavier and with a bigger engine than Amaze gives 12 kmpl in Delhi traffic and 18+ on the highways, so Amaze should give better than that.

•4wHonda amaze is good choice if you are running in city only...for rough roads and traffic it's not good..in terms of Milage and Parts availability... The ground clearance will be less if you are driving in some rular area OR in village OR offroad The best milage is only possible with maruti suzuki but safety is compromised.. You can choose best Safety cars from Tata and Mahindra only Maruti Suzuki givers better performance only
