I am planning to buy a 7-seater and have two options. Option 1 is buying a new Eeco. Option 2 is a Renault Lodgy owned by my friend, which is 10 years old and has been driven 1,10,000 km. Which is the better option?

Asked by: Nagaraj
The Renault Lodgy is clearly the bigger of the two and would offer you more space and comfort, however bear in mind that maintaining a used Renault Lodgy is going to be more difficult than the Maruti Suzuki Eeco as parts availability is an issue even with official Renault dealers, further given that the Lodgy never sold in large number finding parts in the aftermarket will be difficult too.
Thus, it is best to avoid it unless you are very certain of the condition of the car and the availability of parts and service in your area.

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.
