Can you guide me between the Suzuki Burgman Street EX top model and the TVS Ntorq top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? I am 47 years old, weigh around 85 kg, and am 5 feet 9 inches tall.

Both the Suzuki Burgman Street EX and the TVS Ntorq have their unique strong points. The Suzuki scooter has cemented a great reputation for itself because of its reliability, fuel efficiency, and comfort, typical strong points of a family scooter.
On the other hand, the sporty Ntorq will have the upper hand in terms of performance. However, spirited riding can have an impact on its fuel efficiency. TVS has a hit/miss reputation when it comes to after-sales and reliability, so if that is of utmost importance to you, we would recommend going with the Burgman.

Hi Autocar Team, I am planning to replace my 2012 Hero Honda CD Deluxe. My usage is strictly within the city, specifically a 28 km daily round trip for office and market chores. Interestingly, we already have two Hero Vida V1s at home (one Pro and one Plus). Since the V1 is quite feature-heavy, I don’t want to spend extra on premium features or performance for this new purchase. That’s why I have ruled out the Ather Rizta and TVS iQube. I am looking for a reliable, no-nonsense entry-level electric scooter. My current shortlists are: Hero Vida VX2 Go (3.4 kWh) TVS Orbiter Bajaj Chetak 2501 Since all of these offer the basic, essential features I need, which one would be the most practical choice for a daily city workhorse? Does sticking with the Vida ecosystem (VX2 Go) offer any real advantage, or should I consider the Orbiter or the all-metal Chetak 2501 instead?

Since you are intimately familiar with the Vida ownership experience, buying the Vida VX2 Go 3.4 will likely be your safest bet. This scooter also offers more range and performance than the TVS Orbiter and Bajaj Chetak C2501 models you have shortlisted. So, objectively speaking, you should stick with the Vida e-scooter.The Orbiter's USP is that it is one of the most spacious electric scooters around, while on the other end of the spectrum, you have the petite Bajaj Chetak C2501. Unless you have an unusually tall or shorter physique, we'd recommend sticking with the Vida. The only reason you should look at the others is if you want to change things up and switch to a different brand.

Hi Team, I am a big fan of Autocar India. I watch your YouTube videos every day. Your videos really give deep insights related to cars and bikes. Currently, I am riding a 2013 Honda Activa. I am a 31-year-old male, and my wife is 28. We are looking for a family scooter for city usage. Our primary concern is the most comfortable scooter for both rider and pillion because my wife suffers from back pain. Safety features are our second priority. Our budget is up to ₹2 lakh on-road in Pune. Please suggest some good, comfortable, and safe scooters for mainly city use.

If you are looking for comfort and safety, the Suzuki Access should be at the top of your shopping list, because it has two variants with single-channel ABS. In our experience, the Access is also one of the most comfortable and practical scooters and should be a good step up from your Activa.However, if you want something faster that doesn't sacrifice comfort or practicality too much, you can take a look at the TVS Ntorq 150. The bigger Ntorq is a very zippy machine - although it will sip fuel quite quickly if you're too throttle-happy - and is also reasonably comfortable for two-up riding on a daily basis.A test ride of these two with your preferred pillion will help you decide which is best for you.

I’m planning to purchase a used car under ₹6 lakh as my first car. My priorities are comfortable five-seat space, good mileage, and reliability. It would be great if the car is also a bit fun to drive. My current best options are the Honda CR-V diesel, Honda Jazz diesel, or Hyundai i20 diesel. I feel petrol engines may be underpowered, especially with four other passengers (correct me if I’m wrong). I assume the good torque of a diesel engine would help in this situation and make it more enjoyable to drive. I also plan to use this car occasionally for my office commute, which is around 70 km round trip, so mileage is an important consideration. The office route is mostly highway with some stop-and-go traffic.

The Honda CR-V is a good option, but it is quite old now. We would rather recommend the Honda Jazz, which will be spacious enough for seating of 5. Honda produced the diesel Jazz for a short while only, so you'll have to hunt a bit to find a used example. Stick to organised used car companies like Spinny, which thoroughly check cars and offer some level of warranty too. This is important given that the Jazz is no longer in production.
