Since you are learning to drive, doing so on a manual would be better as then driving an automatic is much simpler to do, however if you learn on an automatic, then driving a manual is very difficult. Thus, learning on a manual gives you better flexibility in terms of the types of vehicles you can drive. As for the choice between the Brezza and the Venue, both are good options, and you can't go wrong with either. If it's an automatic, however, we would lean towards the 1.5 NA Brezza, as this comes with a torque converter gearbox, which is the smoothest type of automatic gearbox and is also more robust in heavy and constant start-stop traffic.

The Hyundai Venue N Line N6 indeed has a flip key with remote-locking/unlocking functionality. The Smart key with an Engine start/stop button is reserved for the top-spec N10 variant.Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will rectify the error at the earliest. Apologies for the inconvenience it may have caused.

Between the two, we would suggest you going for the Skoda Kylaq Signature+ AT, particularly if you enjoy driving and will occasionally take the car on highways and hills. Its six speed torque converter automatic is smoother and more predictable in stop start traffic than the Venue's seven speed DCT. The Kylaq's chassis and suspension also make it more engaging to drive, with good composure on winding roads.The one consideration is after sales and maintenance. Hyundai has the advantage of a wider service network, while Skoda ownership costs can be higher. Since this car will primarily be used by your father, take him along for a test drive of both and pay particular attention to ease of ingress and egress, ride comfort and gearbox smoothness.

With a price difference of over Rs 1 lakh, we would suggest going for the Kia Sonet HTK+(O). Both cars use the same 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, so there is little to separate them in terms of performance. This Kia car offers better value for money, with a good feature list at a lower price. However, if rear seat space is a priority, the Hyundai Venue makes a lot of sense, as it offers a more spacious cabin and better rear seat comfort.Do keep in mind that the Sonet is due for a generational replacement, so buying the current model now may mean missing out on a newer product soon.

Considering that you already have an MG Comet and want something a little bigger but still compact, we would suggest looking at the Hyundai Venue. With annual running of less than 10,000km, a petrol engine makes more sense than a diesel. The Hyundai Bayon is worth considering too, particularly for its refined naturally aspirated engine, but if you don't need the additional space and are willing to compromise a little on engine refinement, the Venue or Kia Sonet will help you save some money.Between the Sonet and Venue, we would pick the Venue. It is the newer product and offers better rear seat space, which could be useful if you want this car to double up as a family car. The Sonet is due for a generational change in 2027, so buying one now may also mean missing out on a substantially updated model.
