Hi. I’m a first-time car buyer with no driving experience, but I want to buy a CNG automatic car. Please suggest between the Tiago and the Tigor. It should be value for money. My monthly commute will be about 500 km in the city and a weekly highway trip of around 300-500 km.

If you want CNG with AMT, you have a limited choice. Tata Tiago is a better option between the two. While Tata Motors has not updated the product in some time now, there are very few CNG AMTs in the market currently. 

If that is your requirement, then the Tata Tiago makes more sense. It offers better cabin space, and it has a usable boot despite the CNG cylinders taking up some luggage room.

The other option you can consider is the Nissan Magnite. It is easier on the pocket and has been updated recently. Maginte too comes with the CNG and AMT combination.

I am currently using a Hyundai Venue (2019) and will be retiring by April. My car usage will be limited after retirement, mainly on weekends and for two long trips in a year. I am planning to buy a CNG car with a budget of around ₹10 lakh. Since I have been driving a manual car for over 15 years, should I continue with a CNG manual or opt for a CNG AMT, considering my age? Please suggest which option would be better.

You would have far more options opting for a manual gearbox with a CNG engine. Since you are used to a manual, this should be fine, and we would suggest you look at the Hyundai Exter or the Tata Punch.Both have the dual tank CNG option, which sits below the boot floor, thus leaving you with enough boot space, and both cars offer you a slightly elevated seating position and an easy entry and exit.If, however, you would like to opt for an automatic, an AMT - which is the only type of automatic available with CNG - will not be a very smooth gearbox as far as automatics go, but in heavy traffic conditions would still be better than a manual. In this case, look at the Tata Tiago, which also has the dual CNG tank advantage.

I want to buy a good motorcycle under ₹2.5 lakh. Should I go for the Triumph Speed T4, or should I consider other options?

The Triumph Speed T4 is a great bike in its class and one you should certainly consider. In a few months, Bajaj will be downsizing all the 400cc Triumphs to 350cc in order to benefit from the new GST 2.0 structure, and it remains to be seen how the T4 fits into this new lineup.Similar bikes to the Speed T4 are the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Honda CB350 models, although their simpler, air-cooled engines offer significantly lower performance but have a deeper, thumpier exhaust note and more laidback character. This could be a good thing depending on the sort of experience you're after, so take a test ride of these bikes before you decide.
