Asked by: Soumen Purkayast I want to buy a new car by exchanging my existing one. My budget is 9 lakhs. I will drive mostly in the city, with highway trips or long drives 4-5 times a year. My priorities are safety, comfort, a good engine and gearbox, reliability, and good after-sales support or service network. I prefer a manual. Since parking in the city is a challenge, I don’t want a very big car. The Maruti Suzuki Swift is a car that meets all your criteria. Its 1.2-litre engine delivers good performance for the city, the gearbox is very slick to use and, in size, it's not too big either.Being a Maruti Suzuki, excellent reliability is a given, as is a hassle-free ownership experience. The Swift hasn't been rated on crash safety, but it packs in plenty of safety kit, and there's also comfort in knowing that the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which is based on the same platform, is a 5-star Global NCAP-rated car. Other options within the Maruti stable include the slightly larger Maruti Baleno and Maruti Fronx. Asked by: Suresh Hi Autocar, please advise me on a suitable automatic replacement for my 2014 Rapid Petrol that offers good driving dynamics but with more creature comforts. My annual driving is about 10,000 km, primarily in the city. I am willing to spend up to 25,00,000. Given that you're looking for good driving dynamics like your Rapid, you should consider either the Skoda Slavia or the Kushaq.Go for the Slavia if you prefer the dynamics of a sedan, and go for the Skoda Kushaq if you want more ground clearance and practicality.Both of these Skoda cars come with punchy 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines, which can be had with automatic gearboxes. Opt for the 150hp, 1.5 TSI if it's performance you're after, and you can even go for the sportier 'Monte Carlo' trim of both for some added spice. Asked by: Sacm srinivad I want to buy an SUV with good mileage and comfort. My usage is mostly in the city, around 600 km per month. My budget is 13-14 lakh. I want a petrol automatic with smooth running. Given your requirements, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The compact SUV has a spacious cabin, a comfortable ride, and the top-spec Brezza ZXI+ AT also fits within your budget (Rs 13.01 lakh, ex-showroom).The Maruti Suzuki car is powered by a refined 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine that's mated to a smooth, 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which is ideal for city commutes. The SUV also comes with Maruti's Smart Hybrid system, which includes auto engine/start stop as well as torque assist to aid performance and boost fuel efficiency. As such, the Maruti Brezza mileage for petrol-AT is 19.80kpl (company claimed). Can’t decide which car to buy? Ask our experts and get answers to all your car related queries. Ask experts
