Asked by: Salman Shaikh I am looking for a modern retro bike and am confused between the RE Hunter 350 and the Honda CB350 RS. The Hunter seems to offer more value for money compared to the CB350 RS, but the looks, refined engine, and exhaust note pull me toward the CB350 RS. I am also considering the Meteor 350, but it feels a bit too big. The Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has stellar pricing, and it's a big reason why we see so many on the road. In addition to that, with its most recent update, the company has also ironed out some of its most pressing issues and made it a more well-rounded machine. The Honda CB350RS has a similar riding experience to the Hunter, but it will feel like a more substantial machine when you're riding it. The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 weighs nearly 200kg and can feel big, especially in traffic or at slower speeds. But once you get moving, it masks its weight really well. A test ride will help you decide which bike is right for you. Asked by: Pavan Kumar P Dear team, I want to sell my Swift VDI diesel and am planning to buy the Citroen Aircross X. I really like the Aircross X design compared to all the compact SUVs. My budget is under ₹15 lakh. How would you rate the Citroen Aircross X in terms of reliability, safety, and drivability, especially with respect to after-sales service? Thank you. The Citroen Aircross X is quite unconventional in its design and has a certain appeal. As a product, the Aircross X is fantastic value for money. It doesn’t exude the same richness as other mid-size SUVs that are better equipped. Still, it makes up for it with solid fundamentals, such as a brilliant 1.2 turbo petrol engine, comfortable seats, exceptional ride quality, and easy handling. It’s pretty fuel-efficient, too. The only worry is the dealer network, which is quite poor and unresponsive, but we hear that after the X models of Citroen have been launched, the dealers are motivated to raise their game as well. This is certainly a car we would recommend, but with the rider that you thoroughly check out the Citroen dealer in your area before you sign the cheque. Asked by: dr amol wakekar I am the proud owner of a Volkswagen Jetta diesel automatic 2014. I am an anesthesiologist. I have to go for surgeries at any time at night, so safety is my concern. It has been 12 years since I bought my Jetta. Also, I suffered a major accident two years ago, and despite the airbags deploying, I survived due to the strong build quality of the Jetta. I replaced the airbags and dashboard of the Jetta and continued to use it. I want to buy a new vehicle, my daily running is 50 to 80km, and 3 to 4 times a week on highways. Which SUV should I buy?
