After owning a Volkswagen Polo and now a 2016 Vento TSI, I am planning to upgrade to my first luxury segment car. I am in a fix between the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. My budget is Rs 40 lakh (on road). Which one should I go for? Which is fun to drive and has the better safety and equipment list?

AAA The Audi Q3 is the more affordable of the two and a very competent car, but if you are looking for a car that is fun to drive and well equipped, the X1 is the better choice. It certainly offers a more engaging driving experience, and an added advantage is that it is more spacious than the Q3 as well.

Despite being almost four years old, the Grand i10 still commands a Rs 3.5 lakh premium.

A good ride and decent handling manners make the Grand i10 a zippy hatch.

It’s got impressive features and quality materials that are typical Hyundai traits.
