I want to buy a car for Pune with high ground clearance. I have had past experience with excessive noise from a 3-cylinder engine. Is there any car with a 4-cylinder engine, high ground clearance (above 180 mm), under 4 metres in length, and an automatic transmission other than AMT? Please suggest.

The Maruti Suzuki Brezza will fit your requirements really well. It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, which is mated to a 6-speed torque-converter transmission. The engine is smooth, and gearbox combination makes it easy to drive in traffic. There is ample ground clearance on offer as per your requirement.
Another good and more reasonable option in terms of price would have been the Hyundai i20 with the iVT transmission. This Hyundai car has a smooth 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine paired to a CVT automatic transmission, which makes driving a pleasure. Yes, it doesn’t have as much ground clearance as the Brezza, but in our experience, for most situations in the city, you will be fine with the Hyundai hatch.

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.
