I’m 5 feet 11 inches tall and weigh 95 kg. My daily commute is around 40-45 km.
Initially, I was considering the Honda H&apos;ness CB350, but it’s quite expensive. Then I thought about the Honda Unicorn, but it feels too basic and lacks excitement. The Yamaha FZ series seems a bit over-styled to me. I also rode the TVS Apache RTR 180 2V, but considering my height, it felt too small.
Now I’m confused between the Bajaj Pulsar 180 (OG) and the Bajaj Pulsar N160. The Pulsar 180 offers excellent value for money, while the N160 comes with many modern features. However, since I’ll also be riding with my family, I’m leaning towards the Pulsar 180 because of its long, single-piece seat, which is more comfortable for both the rider and the pillion.
I’d really appreciate your suggestions and guidance on which one would be the better choice.

I am writing to highlight a serious ownership concern with premium Volkswagen Group CBU SUVs in India.

I own a Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line costing over Rs. 60 lakhs on road. After tyre damage, I approached the authorised service network and was informed that the OEM tyre size - 255/45 R19 - is not available in India.

This is a safety-critical consumable, not a cosmetic accessory. For a premium CBU SUV, it is deeply disappointing that owners are left struggling to source the standard tyre size after damage.

This concern may not be limited to the Tiguan R-Line alone. The Volkswagen Tayron R-Line in India also uses the same 255/45 R19 tyre size, and the recently launched Skoda Kodiaq RS uses another rare performance tyre size, 235/45 R20. This raises a larger question: are premium CBU models being sold in India without adequate long-term tyre and consumable support?

Insurance has approved an alternative tyre size in my case, but that does not solve the core issue. Owners should not be forced into non-OEM tyre sizes because the manufacturer has not ensured the availability of the factory-specified tyre.

I had publicly raised this with Volkswagen India, but received no response. I request Autocar India to kindly look into this and raise the issue with Volkswagen India / Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, so that either OEM tyre availability is ensured or formal written guidance is provided for safe alternative tyre sizes.

Regards,
Dr. S. Alagu Ganesh

I&apos;m worried about when it would throw up a mechatronics failure and injector failure, as these are very common in Skoda and Volkswagen. The car has run only 65000 kms.

Should I retain it or consider upgrading, or shall I get an OEM plus mods on it and enjoy it for the next 5 to 6 years?

My name is Radhika from Hyderabad. I have tested XEV 9E, XEV 9S, BYD Sealion 7, Tesla Model Y and BMW iX1. My budget is not a constraint, and I can spend up to 55-57 lakhs on a car. BMW&apos;s driving dynamics felt better than those of Mahindra or Tata. FYI, I have tried BYD Sealion 7 also, but decided not to go with it due to their network, badge value and other reasons. My family did not like Tesla as the interiors are very minimal. My question is whether spending an additional 25 lakhs for the BMW iX1 makes sense, or if it&apos;s not a great car. Can you please clarify?

Please suggest a better 350cc bike within a budget of 2.5-3 lakh.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/models/colors/20260604_103651_54158495.png</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-kia-carens-clavis-petrol-dct-or-diesel-automatic-for-low-annual-running-and-mostly-city-use-451901</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-07-07T08:30:00+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I want to buy a 7-seater family car.

I have been looking for a second car for our family. We currently own a Tata Tiago EV Long Range, which is used for all our city driving and weekend trips to our hometown, around 80 km one way. However, we now feel the need for a dedicated highway car because we miss taking longer family road trips. Our budget is under Rs. 15 lakh. My primary choice was the Honda Elevate VX Manual. I deliberately avoided the CVT because we already have an automatic EV for city use, and I don&apos;t think a petrol automatic can match the smoothness and instant response of an EV. However, I&apos;ve started reconsidering my decision because I feel the Elevate isn&apos;t the ideal highway cruiser. While it is spacious and comfortable, it doesn&apos;t feel particularly relaxed at highway speeds, and its highway fuel efficiency isn&apos;t very impressive. The next option I shortlisted is the Hyundai i20 N Line N6 Manual. I generally prefer spacious hatchbacks over sub-4 metre SUVs, and I never really liked that segment. Choosing the N Line would also save me around Rs. 5 lakh compared to the Elevate, while offering better cruising ability and fuel efficiency, considering this car will be used almost exclusively for highways and long road trips. My main question is whether the i20 N Line would be comfortable enough for a family of four with some luggage. All of us are lean, under 170 cm tall, and below 60 years of age. Everyone in the family likes the idea of the N Line. We have also ruled out diesel cars because my family doesn&apos;t like them, and I didn&apos;t push that option either due to DPF concerns and the fact that the car won&apos;t be used regularly. Please advise whether the i20 N Line N6 Manual would be a good choice for us.</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/hyundai/i20/_AAB7346.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/honda-activa-vs-tvs-jupiter-vs-suzuki-access-vs-electric-scooter-which-is-the-best-choice-for-daily-commuting-and-low-running-costs-451402</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-07-06T10:05:56+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>I currently own a 2007 Hero Honda Glamour and want to buy a new two-wheeler.

Most of my riding will be on roads, with occasional off-roading, and I also want it to be comfortable for long-distance touring. My maximum budget is Rs. 2.5 lakh, although I&apos;d prefer to stay close to Rs. 2 lakh. I have been considering the Hero Xpulse 210 and the TVS Apache RTX 300, but I&apos;m confused. I&apos;m also concerned about the changing fuel policies. Current bikes are only E20 compatible, and I intend to keep the motorcycle for at least eight years. Should I buy now or wait for a flex-fuel motorcycle, even though there aren&apos;t any adventure bikes in that category yet?</news:title></news:news><image:image><image:loc>https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/TVS/apache-rtx-300/_PA19072.JPG</image:loc></image:image></url><url><loc>https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-is-the-best-150cc-motorcycle-for-senior-riders-looking-for-comfort-reliability-and-low-maintenance-451427</loc><news:news><news:publication><news:name>Autocar India</news:name><news:language>en</news:language></news:publication><news:publication_date>2026-07-06T09:05:53+05:30</news:publication_date><news:title>Sir, I currently own a 9-year-old Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350, which is still in good condition.
