For a first-time user, which is more suited between my shortlisted Skoda Kylaq Manual and the Toyota Fronx AMT?

Asked by: Rappai

The choice between an automatic and manual will really be down to your comfort levels. 

If you are not confident about driving a manual or have a lot of traffic to deal with, then an automatic would be better. In this case, pick the Maruti Suzuki Fronx AMT; the shifts will not be as smooth as a torque converter unit. But at least you won't have the hassle of changing gears yourself. 

If you can stretch your budget, opt for the 1.0 litre Turbo Fronx, which comes with a torque convertor automatic gearbox, or you can also opt for the Skoda Kylaq automatic, which also has a torque convertor and the lower variants would be a bit cheaper.

Hi, I’m planning to buy my first car, which I won’t be driving regularly. My budget is under ₹14 lakh on-road. I’m looking for a fun-to-drive car and don’t need it to be family-focused. I’m open to both manual and automatic transmissions, whichever is more engaging to drive and fun.

The Skoda Kylaq will be the perfect choice for your requirements. It has a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and is available in both a manual gearbox and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.The Kylaq has compact dimensions and has a well-balanced chassis that makes the car great fun to drive. The handling is particularly impressive, and it has a good build too. The Prestige variant in manual guise will fit in your budget, while the Signature+ AT variant works if you prefer the automatic.

I’m looking to buy a motorcycle with strong low-end torque. Which would be better among the Goan Classic 350, CB350, Harley-Davidson X440 T, and Royal Enfield Scram 440? My usage will mostly be in the city, with rare long rides, and I’m not concerned about top speed.

For city use among the bikes you're looking at, the top two would be the Royal Enfield Scram 440 and Harley-Davidson X440 T. These bikes have large, long-stroke, single-cylinder engines, which will have the edge over the smaller 350s you're looking at. However, if most of your usage is inside the city, we'd recommend sticking with the 350cc roadsters from either Royal Enfield - Hunter/ Classic / Bullet - or Honda - in the form of its CB350 trio. These bikes will have more than enough grunt for city traffic and will also return more fuel economy. Take a test ride of these to see which one suits you best.
