I’m looking for a bike for city commuting and touring. My daily commute will be 8-10 km, and I go on occasional weekend trips. I want a bike with good suspension for Indian roads and decent mileage. My budget is ₹2 lakh. I am looking for a bike that provides good pillion comfort too. Seat height, especially for the pillion, should not be too high, as my mother usually asks me to drop her off at work. Which bike should I choose?

Considering your needs, an adventure bike like the Hero Xpulse 210 will serve you well, though it is on the taller side. A Royal Enfield Classic 350 or Bullet 350 is also a good choice if you prefer a more traditional, comfortable cruiser.
If you want a sporty-looking but comfortable street naked, options like the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Bajaj Pulsar N250, Suzuki Gixxer 250, or Honda CB300F are worth exploring.

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.
