I am looking for a sub-compact SUV with a focus on mileage, safety, and a smooth driving experience. My budget is ₹13 lakh, and I want an automatic car. Around 70% of my driving will be in the city and 30% on the highway. I am considering the Skoda Kylaq, 3XO, and Toyota Taisor. My first car was a Toyota, and I have had a good overall experience. Please suggest which car I should go with. I am also open to other recommendations.

The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor is essentially the Maruti Suzuki Fronx with a Toyota badge and is a reliable crossover and the most fuel-efficient of your short list. It’s a safe choice but not the most exciting one.
If you want a car that is enjoyable to drive both in the city and on the highway, we would suggest you look at the Skoda Kylaq, as it offers sharp handling, a comfortable ride, and strong performance. The Mahindra XUV 3XO has better features but isn’t quite as nice to drive as the Kylaq.

I want to change my bike. I currently ride a 2009 Yamaha FZ-S. I am now 37 years old and travel around 60km daily in the city and town areas. What I like about the FZ is how easily it handles traffic, but riding 60km daily has started to feel painful. I am considering options like the Honda CB350 H’ness, Meteor 350, Meteor 650, etc. Please suggest a good daily commuter.

Since you have mentioned that you are looking at the Honda CB350 H'ness, we'll recommend bikes of a similar nature and price point. The Honda CB350 trio are excellent machines that will be reliable, easy to maintain, and last you a long time. In a similar vein, bikes like the Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic / Hunter 350 will also be good companions. A test ride of these bikes will help you identify which one suits you best.We would advise against the Super Meteor 650, as that is a very large machine with stiff suspension, and its cruiser ergonomics will only make the ride worse.

Hello Team! I commute daily to the office, around 30km round trip. My route includes a few rough patches and disjoints on flyovers. I currently ride a Meteor 350, but I am struggling with it as the rear suspension is absolutely pathetic. I am not planning to sell it due to personal attachment. I am now looking for a second, lightweight motorcycle in the ₹1.5-2 lakh range, which will be my primary commuter and used occasionally for single-day rides. Smooth gearshifts are a priority, along with excellent suspension, as I have started experiencing back pain. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh 75kg. I shortlisted the Xpulse 210 but dropped it due to concerns around quality issues and tube tyres. I really like the RTX 300, but it is out of my budget. I also like the CB300F Flex Fuel, but have heard that the rear suspension is stiff. The same concern applies to the Gixxer twins and the RTR 200. So, please assist me. At the moment, I am confused between the Hero Xtreme 160R Combat Edition and the Pulsar N160. I really liked the overall feel and sound of the N160. The Hero sales and test ride experience was not great, although the bike itself felt good. I also like the TVS Ronin, but did not find it as comfortable as the other two. Please help me decide.

Between the Hero Xtreme 160R 4V and the Bajaj Pulsar N160 - both of which are great options to begin with - we would recommend you go with the Pulsar. That's because for a taller person like yourself, the Pulsar's roomier ergonomics will make for a better companion over your long commute and other rides you venture out on.We would also recommend you take a test ride of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 because, since it was updated recently, its ride quality has seen a considerable improvement, and it will fit within your budget.We would also suggest taking a test ride of the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. Since its recent update, the ride quality has seen a considerable improvement, and it should fit within your budget as well.

My budget is around ₹2 lakh, and I want a bike for office commuting of about 25-30 km daily. I am looking for a retro-styled bike with a powerful engine. I want to buy the Hunter 350, but my brother has the same bike, and he wants me to choose something different. I looked at other options - Meteor, Speed 400, T400, Harley Davidson 440, and Honda CB350 - but they are over my budget. The Yamaha XSR’s engine is just 155 cc, and I’m not interested in Jawa, Yezdi, or Classic 350. What other options do I have, or should I wait for a Triumph 350 cc bike?

Since you have mentioned you want a retro bike and are looking in the 350cc category, you could take a look at the Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It has the same engine as your brother's Hunter. It will offer you a more spacious riding position and a laid-back riding experience, not to mention more road presence, if that is something that matters to you. Writing the Yamaha XSR155 off because its engine is "just 155cc" would be a mistake in our opinion. Because its performance belies its displacement, and it will give you great fuel efficiency and also last you a long time. Take a test ride of these two to see which one suits you better.

I drive about 350 km monthly (around 12-15 km daily). I am looking for a new EV scooter with decent storage. How is the TVS iQube 2.2 or Ather Rizta for my usage for a family of three?

In the electric scooter market, we would recommend you take a look at the Ather Rizta 2.9 variants, Bajaj Chetak 3001 and the TVS iQube 2.2 / 3.1 for your usage. All three have large storage spaces under the seat, with at least 30 litres of space available, if not more.The Ather is the only one that will give you a touchscreen colour TFT display on the higher Z variants if that is of interest to you. If not, the S variants have the same underpinnings with a few features less while also costing much less. The iQube and Chetak are proven products and have a straightforward scooter riding experience. They are appreciated by lakhs of people and are sure to resonate with you as well. A test ride and visit to your nearest dealer to enquire about service costs is for all three in order to make a more informed decision.
