Hi, I am looking to buy my first car, which would be automatic. My budget is around ₹10.5 lakh. It will be a family car with occasional trips later on. I have test-driven many cars and have shortlisted three: 1. Kylaq Signature AT 2. i20 Sportz IVT 3. Kiger Facelift Techno Turbo CVT I want to own the Kylaq, but I am confused between the i20 and the Kiger. Is it wise to spend an extra ₹1 lakh on the Kylaq, considering Skoda has a service interval of every 15,000 km? Please advise.

If you like the Skoda Kylaq Signature AT and don't mind stretching your budget, go for it. Kylaq price is ₹11.80 Lakh in Hyderabad (on-road). It is the nicest driving car among the three options listed, with the strongest performance.

Asked by: Dr Atul Kumar I am buying a new car and want a decent all-rounder with good mileage. I’m considering the Nissan Magnite (higher variant) and am not keen on sedans. Is it a good choice, or should I consider other options? If so, please suggest alternatives. It's hard to specify a car without knowing something about your needs, but yes, the Nissan Magnite is a good car. The turbo petrol engine is a very good performer, and along with the CVT automatic gearbox, it delivers an enjoyable drive experience. The ride is good, there's a good amount of equipment, and it's very well priced. With the update, Nissan has also addressed some of the cost-cutting issues around the cabin.

Asked by: Abdulkadir My Highness is smooth and great for two-up riding. I’ve taken it on trips to Kerala and Tawang. Now I want a bike that is compact, fast, and has good suspension for Mumbai city use. Which bike would you suggest? Some options you can consider are the TVS Apache RTR 310, KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450. The Triumph and Royal Enfield aren't as overly sporty as the other two and will have a more effortless riding experience owing to their torque delivery, which is earlier in the rev band. The KTM 390 Duke is a proven product when it comes to sheer speed, but in its latest avatar has become quite compact, which may not be the best thing if you are a larger person. Last but not least, the TVS Apache RTR 310 has great handling and reasonable performance. We would recommend getting the variant with the quickshifter on the TVS as that offers the best value for your money. Take a test ride of everything you're considering before you decide.

Asked by: Sathish Kumar I currently drive an i10 Nios petrol and cover about 3,000 km per month, roughly 50% on the highway. My budget is ₹20 lakh. We are a family of four and I prefer an automatic with good ground clearance. Which vehicle would you suggest? Since you have been driving a Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and are used to Hyundai's ecosystem, the natural upgrade would be the Hyundai Creta. It is an excellent SUV that offers a good balance of performance, ease of use and features and holds its value very well. The Hyundai Creta Diesel S(O) AT would be our recommendation as your high running will be better suited to a diesel engine. The 6-speed automatic gearbox is smooth and convenient in the city and also adept on the highways. Over bad roads, the Creta has a good ground clearance, resulting in added peace of mind.

Asked by: Arunkumar I’ve been riding a Hero Honda CBZ Extreme for 15 years and want to change. I’m looking for a bike that’s good for adventure touring as well as city rides. I’m torn between the Triumph 4T and the Suzuki V-Strom. I’m about 5′7″ tall and around 40 years old. Please advise. The Triumph Speed T4 is an excellent city machine, and you can also cruise on the highway at 100-110kph comfortably. It offers decent suspension comfort and will be a good fit for a one-bike garage. The Suzuki V-Strom SX will have more spacious ergonomics and better wind protection on the highway, but its smaller engine will also limit your comfortable cruising speed to 90-100kph. On the other hand, it will also deliver improved fuel economy in the city.
