I’m still proud of this car for its torquey engine, handling, and the way it drives. But lately, its hard clutch in city traffic is causing knee pain, and I am confused whether to keep it or exchange it. Does it make sense to replace my Figo now, and what resale value should I expect? Which current manual fun‑to‑drive hatchbacks come closest to the driving feel and character of the Figo S TDCi? I have considered the SKODA KYLAQ, but it is beyond my current budget. Since SKODA has just opened a showroom in Shillong, does it make sense to stretch for it, or should I stick to a hatchback I don’t want to face problems that I had faced with Ford again. If I decide to keep the Figo, will I face issues related to the parts availability in the coming years? I would love to keep it for as long as possible, but I’m also considering adding a second car like the Alto for city commuting. I am quite confused, so I would really appreciate your valuable suggestion.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Skoda/kylaq/Skoda%20Kylaq_2_OP709803.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-used-2016-honda-jazz-vx-in-2026-for-low-usage-455910Autocar Indiaen2026-08-09T19:00:00+05:30Should I buy a used 2016 Jazz VX in 2026 as my budget and usage are low since I want the car for learning.https://www.autocarindia.com/advice/tata-punch-icng-amt-gear-shift-lag-explained-455899Autocar Indiaen2026-08-09T18:01:19+05:30The AMT version, while convenient in traffic, can feel slightly laggy during gear shifts, something that most users notice in stop-and-go conditions.

My concern with the BMW i5 LWB is that it is likely to be one of the last models based on BMW's current platform, with the Neue Klasse-based i5 expected to arrive in the near future. Given how quickly EV technology is evolving, I am worried that it could become outdated relatively soon. On the other hand, the Lexus ES 350h is based on Toyota's sixth-generation hybrid technology, which makes me feel it may remain relevant for longer within its segment. That said, the idea of switching to an EV is also very exciting, so I am finding it difficult to decide.

Sedans like the BMW 3 Series are available, but I am concerned about their low ground clearance, especially since the roads in my area are not in great condition and waterlogging is a common issue. Toyota appeals because of its reliability, but I don't find the interiors very appealing. As for Skoda and Volkswagen, I am not very confident about their after-sales service.

I recently learned to drive and have never owned or regularly driven a car before. My budget is around Rs. 12.5 lakh. I've shortlisted the Hyundai Venue HX5 Petrol DCT, but I also checked out the Kia Seltos HTE Petrol Manual and really liked its interior. Now I'm really confused about which one to buy, especially since I've heard that DCT gearboxes can have issues in heavy traffic. At the moment, my driving will mostly be on highways, with a 70:30 highway-to-city split. However, my city usage could increase in the future. One more thing I noticed during the test drives is that the Venue's manual clutch felt extremely light. The Seltos also has a light clutch, but it isn't as effortless as the Venue's.

My usage will be low to moderate, including city driving as well as occasional highway drives, and I am a first-time car buyer and driver. Based on my driving requirements, should I consider a CNG variant or stick to my original plan of buying a petrol car? Please help me choose the best car in this price range and also suggest any other suitable alternatives available.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Swift/_AAB1978.JPG?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/which-engine-and-powertrain-should-i-choose-for-kia-seltos-or-vw-taigun-for-long-term-ownership-455743Autocar Indiaen2026-08-08T18:00:00+05:30I've been driving a Maruti Ritz Diesel (190 Nm) for the last 5 years and am looking for an upgrade. My usage is 70% highway and 30% city, with a monthly running of only 500-750 km. I live in Bangalore and primarily use the car for weekend drives and highway trips. Cars tested: Honda Elevate MT/CVT: Reliable and comfortable, but the CVT felt dull, and I feel the naturally aspirated engine may not be exciting enough for highway driving. Kia Seltos Turbo DCT & Diesel AT: Feature-loaded, spacious, and family-friendly. The turbo-petrol feels quick, while the diesel AT feels effortless, but I am concerned about long-term DCT reliability and diesel DPF issues. Volkswagen Taigun/Skoda Kushaq 1.0 TSI AT: I loved the driving experience, stability, and engine performance. However, the cabin feels smaller compared to the Seltos. Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 DSG: I could not properly test its performance due to heavy city traffic. Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI: This was the most confidence-inspiring car I drove, but my family is not keen on buying a sedan. Current concerns: My low annual running makes me question whether a diesel is the right choice due to DPF-related concerns. I am worried about the long-term reliability of turbo-petrol engines, DSG/DCT gearboxes, ethanol-blended fuel compatibility, and fuel economy. Naturally aspirated petrol engines seem more reliable, but I am concerned they may feel underpowered after driving a torquey diesel for years. Budget: Rs. 15-22 lakh on-road (Bangalore). The car will be purchased through my company lease program, so tax benefits will apply. Currently, my shortlist includes: Kia Seltos Turbo Petrol / Diesel AT Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 TSI AT (Highline or Topline) Considering my usage pattern and long-term ownership plans, which engine and powertrain would you recommend for the least-regret ownership experience?https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Kia/Seltos/_AAB0280.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-the-maruti-brezza-1-0-boosterjet-or-1-5-na-for-long-term-ownership-455829Autocar Indiaen2026-08-08T17:01:24+05:30I have waited more than six months for the Brezza facelift/update, and now I’m a bit confused between the engine options. Initially, I was leaning towards the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) engine, but the 1.0-litre Boosterjet now seems like the better value-for-money option. I don’t want to retrofit any accessories from the aftermarket. The Brezza VXI 1.0-litre Boosterjet has all the features I need except the 60:40 split-folding rear seats. On the other hand, the Brezza ZXI 1.5-litre NA has all the features I want, but it also comes with a sunroof, which I don’t really need. In my city, the on-road price difference between the Brezza VXI Turbo and the Brezza ZXI NA is Rs. 2,29,000. My biggest concerns are: Long-term reliability, Maintenance costs, Compatibility with future ethanol fuel blends, and Carbon buildup on the intake valves. If it occurs, what would be the repair or cleaning cost? Will the 1.0-litre Boosterjet continue to perform as well as the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine if higher ethanol fuel blends become common in the future? Is there any reason to believe I might regret choosing the 1.0-litre Boosterjet over the 1.5-litre NA in the long run? Budget: Maximum ₹10.6 lakh (ex-showroom) Models under consideration: Brezza VXI Turbo (1.0-litre Boosterjet) and Brezza ZXI NA (1.5-litre) Primary usage: Less than 850 km per month, school commute: 25 km round trip per day (~650 km/month), weekend family drives (3–5 members): ~200 km/month, driving pattern: 50% city (Tier-3 city) and 50% village roads and highways, one or two annual hill-station trips, each approximately 800 km round trip, and First-time car buyer.https://cdn-s3.autocarindia.com/Maruti-Suzuki/Brezza/2026_Maruti_Brezza_Cornering.jpg?w=1200&h=675&fit=crop&crop=entropy&q=75&fm=autohttps://www.autocarindia.com/auto-images/lamborghini-revuelto-miura-60-homage-image-gallery-440422Autocar Indiaen2026-08-08T16:01:58+05:30Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60 Homage image galleryhttps://asset.autocarindia.com/static/image-galleries/images/20260807_123615_ba387ff2.jpghttps://www.autocarindia.com/advice/should-i-buy-hyundai-venue-turbo-automatic-or-manual-455885Autocar Indiaen2026-08-08T16:00:00+05:30I am considering the Hyundai Venue petrol automatic. I drove the naturally aspirated (NA) petrol version, but found it underpowered. I want a punchier engine, so I am thinking of choosing the turbo-petrol variant. Which transmission should I consider, automatic or manual? I have heard that automatic transmissions can develop issues after a few years. Is it safe to take the automatic variant to hilly areas?
