The car's performance seems fine, and the AC doesn't affect its performance. However, I feel the engine requires early gear changes, and the mileage is currently low because I mostly drive in the city. I am disappointed by the mixed reviews on YouTube. Some people praise the car, while others criticize it. I want to know if the Brezza Turbo is reliable enough to last 10-12 years? Is its 3-cylinder turbo engine really bad? Did Maruti Suzuki experiment with customers by launching this turbo engine? Did I make a mistake by choosing the Brezza VXI Turbo over the Hyundai i20 Sportz 2022? What is the expected mileage? Is the 1.5L engine a better choice for long-term ownership? Is Maruti Suzuki treating its customers unfairly by offering this turbo engine? Please give me an honest opinion. I am confused because so many people say that the turbo engine isn't good.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Fronx/_AAB6306.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-sierra-legend-series-launched-at-rs-1199-lakh-440781Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T14:00:00+05:30Tata Sierra Legend Series launched at Rs 11.99 lakhhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260917_060618_e7bfc002.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/volvo-to-launch-13-new-cars-globally-by-end-of-2030-440796Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T13:44:31+05:30Volvo to launch 13 new cars globally by end of 2030https://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260918_060055_04d0cc83.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/hyundai-bayon-exterior-design-teased-440800Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T13:09:23+05:30Hyundai teases new design details of Bayonhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260918_074731_ff89944b.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-safari-ev-interior-spied-with-triple-screen-setup-440797Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T12:58:51+05:30Tata Safari test mule spied with triple-screen setuphttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260918_065431_83431fdb.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/bike-news/royal-enfield-flying-flea-c6-launched-in-europe-and-uk-440799Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T12:58:23+05:30Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 launched in Europe and UKhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/news/images/20260918_071440_61b75f31.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-suv-under-rs-30-lakh-should-i-choose-for-space-comfort-and-engine-performance-502618Autocar Indiaen2026-09-18T12:30:04+05:30I am planning to buy a new SUV under Rs 30 lakh and am open to both five- and seven-seater options.

I currently use a 2016 Honda Jazz petrol manual at home. It is reliable and spacious, but lacks power. I now live in Mumbai and am looking to buy an SUV for both city driving and long trips. I am a driving enthusiast and regularly go on long drives with my family. I typically do at least 1,000km when I come home for holidays every alternate month, while the car will remain mostly idle in the other months. My priorities are a powerful petrol engine producing at least 120hp, an automatic transmission and enough rear-seat space for three people. I don't want too many bells and whistles such as a panoramic sunroof, multiple screens, ADAS or ventilated seats. Basic features are sufficient for me. Please suggest a safe and reliable car for long-term use within a budget of Rs 20-30 lakh on-road. I am also open to considering a used car.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Mahindra/xuv-7xo/DSC_8391.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-choose-the-hyundai-i20-sportz-cvt-or-maruti-baleno-zeta-amt-for-heavy-city-traffic-502646Autocar Indiaen2026-09-17T15:06:03+05:30I am considering the Hyundai i20 Sportz CVT and Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta AMT for city driving in heavy traffic.

If I don’t go for the Aircross, I will have to consider smaller cars such as the Kylaq or Venue, as my budget is Rs. 16 lakh at most. The extra space, ride comfort, and good discounts on the Citroen are tempting compared to the other two. Which one should I choose?

We want to switch to a petrol automatic. There are three people in our family. Our usual running includes a 5- 7 km trip to the temple every Monday, along with another 500-600 km of monthly running. Our old car covered around 1,10,000km over the last 14 years. We have Rs 9 lakh in cash and are willing to take a loan. Earlier, we were considering the Kia Seltos HTK(O) petrol DCT, which costs around Rs 18.5 lakh. However, we are now considering the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Alpha O AMT, which costs around Rs 11.5 lakh. The features I specifically want are an auto-dimming IRVM, auto-folding ORVMs and ventilated seats. Everything else is an added bonus, and I do not necessarily require it. The Seltos feels more premium and has a larger engine, but the Baleno makes more practical sense for our usage.

I grew up watching people drive manual cars, and my love for cars and driving has only grown over the years. However, people keep telling me that driving a manual car in heavy city traffic can be difficult and tiring. I genuinely enjoy driving and feel that a manual car gives me a more engaging driving experience. So, what should I do? Should I accept the realities of heavy city traffic and buy an automatic, or should I follow my heart, buy a manual sedan and accept the inconvenience of driving a manual in heavy traffic? I am currently considering the Skoda Slavia 1.0 MT. Does it make sense to choose the manual given my love for driving, or would an automatic be more practical for city use?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/Slavia/GT_07146.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-slavia-1-5-tsi-dsg-or-virtus-1-5-tsi-dsg-for-highway-use-502590Autocar Indiaen2026-09-16T21:04:02+05:30Hi, I’m confused between the Skoda Slavia 1.5 TSI DSG and Volkswagen Virtus 1.5 TSI DSG.
