    I’m planning to buy the Jimny. My primary use is city driving with occasional countryside trips once a month. Which transmission would be a better choice?

    Asked by: Gayan

    The Jimny is slightly down on power, and the manual gearbox helps extract a bit more performance by giving you direct control over gearshifts. However, the difference is quite marginal. Since most of your driving is in the city, we recommend going for the automatic version instead.

    Asked by: Sujjal Roy I am 36 years old, and my daily commute is about 90 km (to and from) six days a week. I currently own a 2016 Hero Glamour PGM-FI. I now want to buy an EV bike or scooter for daily commuting. My 90 km run includes about 40 km in heavy traffic and 50 km on the highway. You may also suggest suitable 125/150 cc bikes. Please advise. Since you have a long daily commute, you will need a scooter with a battery capacity of 3.5kWh or more, so you have a healthy buffer in case of emergencies or to account for spontaneity. Among our top picks in the EV space today are the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ather Rizta. Among the 125cc commuters, you can consider the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R, Honda Shine / SP125, Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Super Splendor and Hero Glamour X. In the 150/160cc space, we would recommend the Honda Unicorn / SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Bajaj Pulsar N160.We would recommend you take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you make up your mind.

    Asked by: Nishant yadav I am a fourth-year college student looking for a good cruiser-style bike. Budget is not an issue. I do not want a fat or race-styled motorcycle; I prefer a standard, classic look similar to Royal Enfield or Harley-Davidson (or the X440 for reference). I want a bike that offers strong speed and excellent stability, with no major compromises in performance or usability. Please suggest suitable options. Among the RE 350s, you can consider the Hunter / Bullet / Classic models for their comfortable ride, neutral ergonomics and smooth as well as characterful engine. In a similar vein, the Honda CB350s also warrant strong consideration for similar reasons. All the Harley-Davidson X440 models have a similar riding experience and only differ in terms of features and design, so pick the one you like the most. Lastly, we would also recommend you take a look at the Triumph Speed T4 and Triumph Speed 400 as they offer great performance and quality at a reasonable price. Take a test ride of all the bikes you shortlist before you decide.

    Asked by: Shekhar Kumar I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise. The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.

    Asked by: HARJYOT SINGH Hello Autocar India. I have been using a Honda Activa 6G since 2002 and want to replace it with either a TVS Jupiter 113 or a Suzuki Access 125. I have been riding Honda scooters since 2006. Which scooter is a better replacement for me? Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands. You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with. We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.
