My daily riding is around 30 km, and I want to replace my current scooter. I am considering the Xoom 125 and the Activa. Which one is better?

In the scooter segment, our top picks in the family-centric category are the TVS Jupiter 110 & 125, Suzuki Access, and the Honda Activa 110 & 125 models. If you want something flashier, then the TVS Ntorq 125/ 150 would be our recommendations, as they are peppy, sporty, feature-rich, and sharp-looking scooters that don't compromise on comfort or practicality.

The Hero MotoCorp Xoom 125 - while a great first attempt with its stylish design and 14-inch wheels - does feel a little cramped, and its engine lacks a little pep in comparison to the Ntorq.

A test ride will help you decide which scooter is the best fit for you.

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.

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.

Between the Hornet 750 and the Suzuki GSX-8R, which is better for comfort over Indian potholes? I have a bad back and want comfort on poor roads. Also, what would be the annual maintenance cost?

The Suzuki GSX-8R - while it may look like an aggressive sport bike - is actually quite a comfortable road bike. Its clip-ons are set quite high, and its suspension is set up to tackle real-world road conditions. However, the GSX-8R has a service interval of 6 months / 6,000km (whichever is earlier), which could result in higher annual maintenance costs.Since we haven't ridden the Honda CB750 Hornet, we can't comment on its ride quality. Honda big bikes are generally easier to maintain and have a good reputation for low running costs (in the big bike space) and great resale value.We'd recommend a test ride of both machines before you make a decision.
