Hi Autocar team, Considering a continous change in the fuel policy ( i.e. e20, e22, e27,e30 or flex fuel). I am little confused to go ahead and buy a new car ( Honda elevate vx cvt or Seltos ivt) or should save 6-7 lakhs and buy honda amaze vx cvt till the time our government reach to a conclusion on type of fuel to be implemented in the country. Originally I have set up a budget of15-16 lakhs to buy a new car. Since my car Hyundai i10 is about to complete 15 yrs in delhi and I also need a car to commute. Please advise. Total Km (monthly): 650km, occasional highway drive (Quarterly): 2000km In case you have any other suggestion/ cars please share an expert opinion considering the facts shared above.
