I am 6 feet 3 inches tall and looking for a car with a comfortable ride quality, a ₹12 lakh budget, and good mileage. My driving pattern is 40 km per day, with two long trips per month. Could you suggest the right car?

The Mahindra XUV 3XO, the MX3 Pro 1.5 Diesel MT variant, would be a good choice for your needs. The diesel engine is smooth, refined, and has lower running costs compared to petrol, and in the MX3 guise, you get a decent feature list as well.

Plus, this Mahindra car has a soft ride that is great for the city, and the cabin is spacious for tall adults, too.

Asked by: Sohail I have been using a Discover 125 ST (2012 model) for the past 10 years, and my daily commute is around 30 km. I am now looking to buy a new bike and would appreciate your expertise. My requirements are good suspension to manage back pain, a comfortable seat, and good handling, as I am 6 feet tall and weigh 80 kg. I want a 125cc bike with good mileage, and braking performance is my top priority. My budget is ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh. Taking your requirements into account, you can consider the TVS Raider and the Hero Xtreme 125R. Both are comfortable and spacious machines with decent handling capabilities. Both also gained some new variants recently. The Xtreme 125R got a new variant with dual-channel ABS, while the Raider was updated with a new variant that has single-channel ABS and a rear disc brake too. We would advise you to choose between these as braking performance is a priority for you.

Asked by: Paras yadav Hello Autocar, I am looking to buy a bike for my daily commute of around 80 km, consisting of 60 km of highway and 20 km of city riding. I am confused between the TVS RTX, Hero Xpulse, and Suzuki V-Strom SX. Should I wait for the BMW 450 GS? I am looking for a comfortable and plush ride. P.S. I sold my FZ a year ago and am now looking to buy a new bike. The TVS Apache RTX 300 is a great option because it is comfortable, quick, reasonably fuel-efficient when ridden sensibly, and comes at a great price for everything you get with it. The Hero Xpulse 210 is another great option because it gives you lovely comfort and genuine off-road capability with peppy performance.The Suzuki V-Strom SX is a simple but sorted bike; however, in comparison to these two, it feels a little too simple and also not as comfortable, which is why we would recommend you choose between the TVS and the Hero. Take a test ride of these two before you decide.

Asked by: Rude S Is the Honda CB350 H’ness a good first bike compared to the Yamaha XSR155? What city mileage should I expect? My priorities are comfort for city riding and weekend rides, and I have shortlisted these two bikes. Between the Honda CB350 H'ness and the Yamaha XSR155, the Yamaha is almost certain to give you better fuel economy, although fuel efficiency depends on how and where you ride as well.When it comes to comfort, however, the CB350 H'ness will be the better alternative because the XSR155 - while it has reasonable comfort - can feel a little stiff over bad stretches of road because its suspension and frame are largely the same as the R15 sportbike.We recommend you take a test ride of both to help choose which is better for you.

Asked by: Badriprasad I have arthritis and back pain, and work in sales, which involves long and daily rides. Which bike would be better for me: the TVS Ronin or the Royal Enfield Hunter 350? Both the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350 are good options because they have a neutral rider's triangle, comfortable suspension, and are easy to manage. The TVS Ronin is a good deal lighter than this Royal Enfield bike, so we would steer you toward it if that is a priority for you.You should also consider the Honda CB350 because it has good seating and suspension comfort, neutral ergonomics, and is easy to handle inside the city. Take a test ride of all three before you decide.
