I am having a Honda City ZX 2006 model in very good condition, which has been driven 82000 kms. But nowadays, servicing costs are increasing due to ageing spare parts. Confused whether to retain the car or buy a new sedan, which comes with more features. Meanwhile, I don't want to spend much on a car because it is a depreciating asset. Please suggest a budget-friendly car with good mileage and safety features.

If you are happy with your old Honda City, why not consider the new one? It maintains the same traits of reliability, comfort, fun driving dynamics and a strong engine - all of which have improved considerably since 2006, while also packed with modern trappings and safety features.If you want to lower your budget further, the Honda Amaze is worth considering. It is just a City in a more compact package and includes features such as six airbags and ADAS. This Honda car has also received a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating.

Hi, we are a family of three adults and one teenager. Over the past 10 years, we have owned a Honda Brio S MT, a Honda City V MT, and a Maruti Celerio AMT. The biggest advantage has been very low maintenance and minimal to no electrical or mechanical issues. We are now planning to buy a new automatic transmission car (non-AMT, as we want to avoid shift jerks). Any body type is acceptable. We plan to make the purchase in the next 6 to 12 months, with a budget of up to ₹17 lakh. Our main requirements are good city mileage, good safety, and decent performance.

Since you have been happy with the Hondas in your family, why not consider the 5th-generation Honda City, currently on sale? It features a very flexible and strong 1.5-litre engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, which is both jerk-free and smooth. Also, it will give you the same trouble-free experience you have enjoyed with your current Hondas.If you are looking for a change, you could consider the 1.0 AT variants of the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus, both of which have a smooth torque converter auto transmission, which is much smoother than the AMTs you want to avoid.

Hi, I’m confused between the Honda Elevate and the Honda City. My basic requirements are safety, comfort and reliability, especially on highways. I have heard that the Elevate has high NVH levels, while the City’s ground clearance and narrow tyres could be problematic. I don’t plan to do any off-roading but want to drive comfortably on ghats and long distances. I am very confused and would appreciate any advice.

•30w

Yes, NVH levels in the Honda Elevate are quite high, and thus, if it's only the ghats and long drives that you are considering, the Honda City will do just fine. Moreover, the City will be more fuel efficient than the Elevate, even more so if you get the hybrid version, thus you will save on fuel bills during your long-distance travels. The only downside of the City is that its ground clearance is low, which can be a problem on bad roads. However, if you are not going to go off-roading and the roads in your area are generally in good condition, this should not be a deal-breaker.

I bought a Honda City ZX CVT (5th generation) in July 2025. At low RPMs and during stop-and-go traffic, the engine and acceleration noise are quite audible and unpleasant, and the NVH levels feel poor. What can I do to reduce this?

•31w

Most CVTs suffer from what is called a ‘rubber-band’ effect, where the engine revs rise higher than the speed, which makes the engine sound like it's straining. Honda’s CVT automatic transmission in the City is a belt-driven system and is known to be a bit noisy under hard acceleration, partly because the noise insulation in the Honda City isn’t very good.To be honest, there is not much you can do except drive with a light foot and don’t floor the accelerator to keep the revs down.

My budget is ₹12-15 lakh. I need a car for a family of five, with priorities in this order: safety, reliability, comfort on bad roads, value for money, and highway comfort. I’m not keen on gimmicky features. I’m leaning toward the Citroen Aircross X but also considering the 3XO, Taisor, and Honda City.

•35w

We suggest going for the Citroen Aircross X or the Basalt as they are larger than the Mahindra 3XO, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor or even the Honda City.Both are these Citroen cars are spacious, have excellent ride quality, and offer great comfort in the front and rear seats. The turbo petrol engine has ample power for city and highway use, and the massive boot adds to its practicality. While it misses out on a few features compared to the Mahindra XUV 3XO, it more than makes up for it with comfort and practicality, which perfectly suit your needs.
