Asked by: Jayant Pariharon Dec 5, 2025
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.

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.

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.

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.

Virtus 1.0 AT (Top-End) vs Elevate ZX CVT — Which One to Pick? 🚗💭 After months of research, I’m torn between the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0L AT (top trim) and the Honda Elevate ZX CVT. I live in Bangalore, mostly drive on weekends, and do 3–4 highway trips a year to Kerala. I love driving, and I’m upgrading from a Grand i10 petrol. Family of three (two adults + one kid). Looking for advice on: Which feels better to drive on city roads and highways Ride comfort, refinement, and family practicali
Between the two, if you enjoy driving, the Volkswagen Virtus is the better choice. It’s more engaging to drive, and its turbo-petrol engine offers stronger performance. It’s also spacious, with comfortable seating for four and a large boot. The only drawback, based on your priorities, is refinement; the Virtus’s 1.0-litre engine is a three-cylinder unit compared to the Honda Elevate’s four-cylinder. However, refinement isn’t bad on its own and isn’t really a deal-breaker.

Asked by: sudipon Oct 27, 2025
I’m planning to upgrade to a sedan with a good seating height and without a clutch. My monthly usage is about 500 km in the city, which has heavy traffic and many potholes. My priorities are mileage and driving comfort. I’m not sure if an EV would be a good choice. I considered the Tata Harrier EV, but dropped the idea after learning about multiple issues. My budget is around ₹25 lakh.
The top-spec Honda City petrol-automatic is the only sedan that's comfortable and will also return decent fuel efficiency for city use. With a monthly usage of just 500 km, opting for the Honda City hybrid doesn't make much sense, and there are currently no EV sedans available for ₹25 lakh.
The turbo sedans like the Hyundai Verna, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus, will be more engaging to drive, but expect single digit fuel efficiency in heavy traffic.
