I have a Honda Amaze MT petrol 2021 model. The suspension is not good, but the engine is smoother and it's an easy to ride car. I travel within the city and twice a month on longer trips.

I would suggest going with the Honda Amaze VX CVT. The ZX trim only offers ADAS, which is not useful for Indian city traffic as you might end up disabling it. I have purchased one recently, and my father also drives it daily for local drives.

Honda Amaze car is a great car. My Honda Amaze 2014 model petrol is still as good as new. Low maintenance, great family vehicle.

If you are looking for a hassle-free ownership experience, then I would suggest you to go with the Honda Amaze CVT. It's best for Delhi traffic and your annual run KM. You and your parents will be mind free with it for long years.

The Honda Amaze may not offer the same level of comfort and ease of egress for elder people as an SUV like the Kushaq.

Honda Amaze CVT is good for city driving, but mileage should be considered.

5/5

Honda Amaze offers more comfort, space, and a feeling of safety. It is also value for money with good average and low service cost.

Give Honda Amaze a shot. Few naturally aspirated engines left. Bullet proof and proven engine. A very time tested CVT. Classic Honda reliability. Very easy no nonsense car for city. Easy to park, very easy to drive. Has boot. Good build quality.

I have a budget of Rs. 12 lakh and am currently driving a Tata Tiago, which I have owned for the past 10 years. I am now looking to upgrade and would appreciate suggestions in both the sedan and SUV segments. My biggest dilemma is deciding whether I should choose a sedan or an SUV. In the sedan category, I am considering the Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia. In the SUV segment, I am looking at the Tata Nexon. Please suggest if there are any better options than these as well. My driving is evenly split between city and highway usage, and I am a light user with an average monthly running of around 1,000 km. Considering my requirements, which type of vehicle would be the better choice, and which models should I shortlist?

The first thing to note is that with a Rs. 12 lakh budget, the Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Slavia may be difficult to fit in unless you're looking at entry-level variants or stretching your budget. The Tata Nexon, on the other hand, sits much more comfortably within your range.Between a sedan and an SUV, we'd lean towards a sedan for your usage pattern. With your driving split evenly between city and highway and a relatively modest monthly running of around 1,000km, a sedan generally offers better ride comfort, superior highway stability and a more engaging driving experience. Coming from a Tata Tiago, a Virtus or Slavia will feel like a substantial upgrade in terms of refinement, space and overall quality.If your budget is firm at Rs 12. lakh, we'd suggest looking at the Skoda Kylaq Automatic or Honda Amaze CVT as well. The Kylaq offers SUV practicality, strong safety credentials and a fun turbo-petrol engine, while the Amaze provides the smoothest automatic experience and excellent long-term ownership appeal.The Tata Nexon remains a good all-rounder with strong safety credentials and a practical cabin, but if your heart is set on a Virtus or Slavia and you can stretch the budget, they are the more rewarding cars to own and drive.

My daily running is around 50 km, and I take one long trip every month. I currently drive a Honda Amaze Diesel, but I am now planning to replace it. I am confused about whether I should choose an EV, a petrol car, or a diesel car under Rs. 15 lakh. My key requirements are a smooth transmission, excellent fuel efficiency, and strong safety. Considering my usage pattern and priorities, which type of car would be the best choice for me?

The Honda Amaze Diesel has served you well, but given your current usage pattern, a diesel would not be our first choice today.With a daily running of around 50km and just one long trip a month, both petrol and EV options make more sense. If you have access to home charging, an EV can significantly reduce your running costs. In that case, the Tata Punch EV Long Range would be a strong contender. It offers good safety credentials, smooth performance and more than enough range for your daily commute and occasional longer journeys.If you'd rather stick with an ICE vehicle, the Skoda Kylaq Automatic would be our recommendation. Its torque-converter automatic gearbox is smooth and reliable, the turbo-petrol engine offers strong performance and it has solid safety credentials. However, it won't match an EV for running costs.

Hello! I have a manual Ertiga and am planning to buy a secondary automatic car in the Rs 10-12 lakh range for long-term ownership. I intend to opt for the maximum extended warranty and service packages. Usage will be mostly city driving in Delhi NCR, with a few short vacation trips, and a monthly running of around 600-700km. I want a delightful ownership experience with good build quality, fit and finish. I am not willing to go with an AMT transmission. Please suggest the best option. Also, please suggest more options if I increase my budget by Rs 1-2 lakh.

The Honda Amaze CVT would be the recommendation here. Since this will be a secondary car primarily for city use in Delhi NCR, with monthly running of just 600-700km and a focus on long-term ownership, the Amaze makes a lot of sense. The CVT automatic is among the smoothest gearboxes in this price range, the petrol engine is refined and proven, and Honda's reputation for reliability and hassle-free ownership is hard to ignore. If you're planning to take the maximum warranty and service packages, it should be an extremely easy car to live with for many years.The Hyundai i20 IVT would be the second choice. It feels more premium inside than the Amaze, offers excellent fit and finish, and its IVT automatic is just as smooth in city traffic. It is also compact and easy to drive, making it a great urban runabout.If you're willing to stretch your budget slightly, the Skoda Kylaq Classic+ AT is worth considering. It brings the benefits of an SUV body style, a solid feel and a smooth torque-converter automatic. However, for your specific use case, the Honda and Hyundai edge it out thanks to their smoother powertrains and stronger reputation for long-term ownership peace of mind.

Want to buy a used Automatic(CVT or TC) with a budget of 6 lacs for my father. Please suggest

There are no new cars available at around Rs. 6 lakh that come with a torque-converter automatic or a CVT. However, if you are open to buying used, then a Honda Amaze CVT would be a good fit. Look for a low-mileage example with a complete service history, and make sure you get a thorough pre-purchase inspection done. Ideally, buy from a trusted, certified used-car platform that offers a warranty.If you must buy new, then consider the Maruti Alto K10 or S-Presso. Both are available with an AMT. While the shifts are relatively slow, they are reasonably smooth and do a decent job in city traffic.

I am currently driving a Honda Amaze (2022 model), and I really like its engine and CVT automatic transmission. However, I have been disappointed by its low ground clearance, which once resulted in the oil sump getting damaged. Another concern has been shock absorbers, as I had to replace it twice in four years. I also feel that the ride quality is not very smooth on pothole-ridden and rough roads. I am now looking to buy a new sedan or SUV that offers the strengths of Amaze, but with better ground clearance, a more comfortable ride on rough roads, and a 4 or 5-star safety rating. My budget is between Rs. 15 lakh and Rs. 18 lakh. Which models would you recommend?

•5d

The Kia Seltos 1.5 Petrol IVT would be the recommendation here. Since you've enjoyed the refinement and smoothness of the Amaze's petrol engine and CVT, the Seltos feels like a natural upgrade. The IVT automatic is smooth in city traffic, the cabin feels significantly more premium and the higher ground clearance means you won't have to worry about scraping the underbody or damaging the oil sump on rough roads. It also offers a comfortable ride and a much more feature-rich cabin than your current car.If you'd prefer to stay within the Honda family, the Honda Elevate CVT is also worth considering. It offers excellent ground clearance, a comfortable ride and Honda's reputation for reliability. However, compared to the Kia car, the engine and transmission combination doesn't feel quite as refined, and the cabin lacks the premium feel and feature-rich experience of the Seltos.
