I currently own a Hyundai Grand i10 Asta 2016 model and am planning to change my car. I am inclined towards Hyundai and thinking of Exter as an option. I find the Exter a value for money car. My budget is Rs. 10 lakhs (on road). Should I consider buying Exter, or should I look for other alternatives within the 10 lakh range?

Since you want to purchase a Hyundai car, why not consider the new Venue, the 1.2 Petrol HX4 variant, which would be around Rs 9.88 lakh (on-road in Shimla). It is an all-new car that's slightly larger than the Exter, resulting in better cabin and boot space. Interior quality also feels a step up, and in terms of road presence, too, the Venue has an edge over the Exter.
Both Exter and Venue share the 1.2 petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox, similar to the one you have been using in your existing Grand i10 - so it is smooth to drive, and the controls are very light.

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.
