Asked by: SUKETU G PATELon Dec 15, 2025
I want to buy a car with a budget of Rs 16 to 17 lakh. My yearly running is around 6,000 to 7,000 km, but I am a driving enthusiast and enjoy driving. Please suggest a suitable car.
Since you are an auto enthusiast and love to drive, we would recommend you look at a sedan car like the Skoda Slavia or the Volkswagen Virtus. They are both essentially the same car, built on the same platform or near identical in terms of drive feel.
For your budget of 16-17 lakh, you will get the smaller 1.0 litre TSi engine, and you will notice turbo lag; however, past that, the performance is lively enough, and the engine is quite rev-happy.
If you can stretch your budget a bit, opt for the larger 1.5-litre TSI engine. It delivers a very sprightly drive. Beyond the engine, both cars have a superb ride and handling balance.

I currently drive a 2022 Tata Nexon XZ+ (HS) petrol manual and want to upgrade to a manual car that feels like an enthusiast’s car with great throttle response and engaging driving dynamics, since I find the Nexon’s response laggy. My budget is around ₹20 lakh. I have shortlisted the VW Virtus GT 1.5 and the Skoda Kushaq. Are there any other manual cars I should consider?
Since you want to upgrade from your Tata Nexon to a fun-to-drive manual car, you should consider the Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 TSI MT. The Taigun is one of the best handling midsize SUVs, and its 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol is one of the punchiest around.
You could also consider the Skoda Kushaq or the Skoda Slavia/Volkswagen Virtus, but none of those get a manual gearbox option with the 1.5 TSI engine - only a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Hello team, I read your blogs regularly and value your reviews. Please guide me on which car I should buy from my shortlisted options. This will be my first car, and I enjoy driving. My requirements are a minimalist design (not too many gadgets), a manual transmission, good comfort and space, and a roomy boot. I’ve shortlisted the Volkswagen Virtus, Honda Amaze, and Hyundai Basalt. My budget is ₹12–14 lakh. Please advise.
Thank you for your support. We're happy to help!
Coming to your question, the Honda Amaze, while practical and comfy, does not have the driving thrill you would want.
The Volkswagen Virtus, while impressive, will not fit in your budget apart from the base variant, which isn't too impressive. The Citroen Basalt X will be a good pick out of this lot. It has a punchy turbo-petrol engine that is lovely to drive, the ride comfort is excellent, and it has a large boot as well.
Also, while it is feature-packed, it isn't unnecessarily complicated, and the functions are easy to use. The Basalt X would be our recommendation.

Asked by: Vikramjeet Singhon Nov 28, 2025
I’m really confused about choosing between the Virtus GT-Line (Carbon Steel Grey matte) and a mid-size SUV like the Creta.
Your usage should determine which car suits you best. The Volkswagen Virtus, being a sedan, is one for keen drivers as it's got punchy turbo petrol engines and a sorted ride and handling balance.
A midsize SUV like the Hyundai Creta, on the other hand, will be better for the family-oriented as it has a more spacious and practical cabin.

Asked by: Nishanton Nov 26, 2025
I am looking to buy a petrol automatic, preferably a sedan. My on-road budget is ₹20 lakh. What are my options?
Given your requirement and budget, you currently have four options. The Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are mechanically identical, and they stand out for their punchy turbo petrol engine options and ride and handling balance.
The Honda City has a refined 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine and has the best back seat. The Hyundai Verna, meanwhile, has the most features, and it can be had with either a turbo-petrol or a naturally-aspirated petrol engine.
The Slavia, Virtus and Verna have also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP.

Asked by: Jayagopalon Nov 21, 2025
I’m planning to buy an automatic car (or electric) with a budget of ₹18–25 lakh. I want an automatic with no noticeable “rubber-band” effect, and I prefer strong performance. I’m deciding between the Tata Sierra, Tata Harrier, Skoda Kushaq, or the Sierra in petrol - which should I choose and why?
Since you prefer performance and like to drive, the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq will be a better choice.
While we are yet to sample the Sierra on the road, it isn't the sort of SUV to be designed for spirited driving. An even better option compared to these would be the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus.
They are sedans, but still get good ground clearance and are superb to drive. The 1.5 TSI engine offers excellent performance, and they are well-equipped and practical too.

I want to upgrade from a Grand i10 to a new car within a budget of Rs 20 lakh. I drive around 1,200 km per month, and do around 2,000 km long drives every quarter. Please suggest the best option.
The Hyundai Creta 1.5L Petrol IVT is a well-rounded offering if you prefer a midsize SUV. The Volkswagen Virtus or Skoda Slavia 1.5L DSG are fun-to-drive sedans in this price range.
If fuel efficiency is something you're concerned about, you could even consider a Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid.

Asked by: Arghya Prasun Daon Nov 6, 2025
I need to buy my second car purely for driving pleasure. Budget is within ₹25 lakh, and I definitely want an ICE petrol vehicle. Sedan, SUV, or MUV, anything works. Please advise.
Since driving pleasure is your main priority, you’ll appreciate the dynamics of a sedan. Consider the Volkswagen Virtus or the Skoda Slavia, both powered by a punchy 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine.
The Volkswagen does have the advantage of being available with a 6-speed manual gearbox, which will be more engaging to drive. Alternatively, you could consider the Hyundai Verna, which gets a slightly more powerful engine (160hp, 1.5 turbo petrol), but it isn't as dynamically sorted as the VW or Skoda.

Asked by: BARATH JEGANon Oct 29, 2025
My family has grown since I bought my first car, a Hyundai Elite i20 Asta CVT. Now we’re six members: me, my wife, two kids, and two elders. We need two cars: one primarily driven by me and one for my wife. Our daily commute totals about 50 km across both vehicles, mostly within the city on highway-like routes. We also take 4-5 trips a year with the whole family. The combined budget for both cars is ₹50–55 lakh. I’m currently considering the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus and waiting for the Mahindra XEV 7e (electric for experience & cost).
The Volkswagen Virtus GT is a fun choice, but being a sedan, getting in and out might not be the most convenient for the elderly. The Volkswagen Taigun GT offers a similar driving experience with the added advantage of higher seating.
As for the Mahindra XEV 7e, we’re yet to drive it, but if it’s similar to the XEV 9e, it should be a compelling package. We’ll be driving the XEV 7e soon, so stay tuned for our full review.
