Questions you may find useful

Hi, we have shortlisted two cars but are unable to decide which one to finalise: the Honda Amaze CVT ZX and Hyundai i20 IVT Asta (O). Both my wife and I will drive the car, so we want good rear-seat comfort and space. Our daily usage is around 50km. Of the 365 days in a year, around 65 days will involve highway driving, while the remaining 300 days will be city driving, usually in traffic in Chennai. We are a family of five, with four adults and one eight-year-old child. We have previously owned a Ford Fiesta and Santro Xing, so we are comfortable with both sedans and hatchbacks. Which one would you recommend?

I have a budget of Rs.10 lakh and want an automatic car. My usage will be around 70-80% in the city and 20% on highways in Bangalore. I have shortlisted Hyundai i20 Asta IVT, Honda Amaze ZX CVT, Tata Nexon AMT Pure Plus and Maruti Suzuki Baleno AMT. I want a decent city fuel efficiency of around 10-12 kmpl. I also want a car that will not feel boring after 5-6 years and has a youthful appeal with a bit of style. Please help me choose the right one.

I wish to purchase an ICE vehicle in the Rs. 8-10 lakh price range during this Diwali. I have shortlisted the Hyundai i20, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and Honda Amaze. My monthly driving is around 900-1,100 km, with approximately 60% highway usage and 40% city driving. My priorities are engine refinement, safety, and low maintenance costs. I am not interested in Tata vehicles, and I would also prefer to avoid brands such as Renault, Citroën, and Nissan, as they do not have service centres in my district. Based on these requirements, which car would you recommend?

I am getting the Hyundai i20 Sportz IVT for Rs. 9.5 lakh and the Honda Amaze VX CVT for Rs. 10.5 lakh. Which one should I buy?
