•1dHi, I recently sold my second-hand car and am planning to buy a new one. My budget is between ₹8-10 lakh. I am 6’1” tall, and many cars in this segment, such as the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki Swift, Tata Altroz, and Hyundai i20, are not comfortable for me as the steering tends to touch my legs. Could you please suggest a car within this budget that would be comfortable for my height? Thanks.

You're right, it's difficult to find a car at this price that's suitable for a tall driver. Try the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, which does offer a bit more space than its counterpart, the Maruti Suzuki Swift. Moreover, it uses the older 1.2-litre four-cylinder K12 petrol engine, which is smoother than the three-cylinder Z12 engine in the Swift. You could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, in which you can get the option of a punchier 1.0 turbo-petrol engine, although space remains the same as the Baleno. Finally, also consider the Nissan Magnite or Renault Kiger, which could offer a bit more space, and if you don't mind a sedan, there's also the Honda Amaze, which is known for its interior packaging efficiency.

•3dI have been driving a Maruti Suzuki S-Cross manual for the past 4 years. At 58, I now want to buy a sub-4-metre petrol automatic (CVT or torque converter) within a ₹14 lakh budget. It should offer good rear seat comfort, decent ground clearance, and adequate boot space. My annual running is around 6,000 km, with 60% on highways and hilly terrain. I prefer to avoid DCT due to potential heating issues in traffic. Which car would be the best choice?

Pick the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi AT, which costs around Rs 13.7 lakh on-road. The Brezza has a refined 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic, which has a claimed efficiency of 19.8kpl. The Brezza also has one of the most roomiest back seats in the segment, and it has a substantial 328 litre boot. With a ground clearance of 198mm, it won't be an issue for you on your drives in hilly areas. Being a Maruti, service reach is wide, and you'll also appreciate the familiarity with your current S-Cross. The one thing you give up is a strong mid‑range punch; the 1.5 petrol feels a bit underpowered, so uphill overtakes with 4 adults may need a downshift and some planning.Alternatively, if you want a CVT gearbox, stronger performance and more boot space, consider the Nissan Magnite CVT.

•1wI have read the recent comments about the Duster on your website, and I am impressed by the overall rating of the Duster. I am planning to purchase the 1L turbo manual version of Duster and seeking advice on the power delivery and torque. Is it sufficient for city drives and, very occasionally, driving on highways?

Autocar India
For your requirement, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol Renault Duster should be adequate for your usage, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Although we haven’t driven this engine in the Duster yet, we have experienced it in cars like the Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite. In those cars, the engine feels peppy and responsive, especially in city conditions.Now, the Duster is a larger and heavier car, so performance will take a slight hit compared to those smaller SUVs. However, for city driving, it should feel more than sufficient, and thanks to the turbo, it will still offer good low-end torque, making it easy to drive in traffic. On the highway, it should be able to keep up with fast-moving traffic comfortably, and overtaking should not feel stressful.That said, we strongly recommend that you test drive the 1.0-litre version before deciding. Since it is a 3-cylinder engine, you may notice some vibration at idle and hard acceleration, something we have experienced in the Kiger and Magnite.If your priority is smoothness and refinement, you can also consider options like the Tata Sierra, Hyundai Creta or Kia Seltos, which offer more refined petrol engines. However, in terms of outright punch and torque feel, the turbo Duster will still feel stronger.

•1wPlease suggest a car with a ₹12 lakh on-road price which offers good safety, better reliability, good performance, good refinement, and good mileage.

At your budget of Rs 12 lakh, the best all-rounder you can get is the Nissan Magnite, which really delivers what you and a lot of buyers are looking for without breaking the bank. It's a compact SUV with good ground clearance and offers good ride comfort.The interior of this Nissan car is spacious, and within your budget, you'll get a good amount of features too. It's also achieved a 5-star crash test rating from Global NCAP, and gets 6 airbags as standard, among many other safety features.At your budget, you'll also be able to get its more powerful engine option - the 1.0-litre turbo petrol - with either a manual or CVT automatic gearbox. This engine is also very fuel efficient, and Nissan has been known to offer good reliability and reasonable maintenance costs as well.

•1wI need a good, proper automatic car for a family with a max budget of 12 lakh (on-road). For 80-90% city and 10-20% highway usage. Looking for a good driving experience (ease of driving and good driving view), good safety, decent fuel efficiency (good if possible), reliability, good after-sales service and fuss-free ownership. Open for any car type, sub-4m, sedan, hatchback, etc.

For your requirement of a proper automatic under ₹12 lakh on-road with mostly city usage, we would suggest going for the Hyundai i20 IVT.The CVT gearbox is extremely smooth, which makes it very easy to drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The car is also compact, easy to manoeuvre and has good visibility, which is important for daily city driving. It feels premium inside, well-equipped and offers a fuss-free ownership experience with good after-sales support.If you specifically want a higher driving position, then you can also consider the Nissan Magnite CVT. It offers SUV-like seating, is easy to drive and still comes with a smooth automatic gearbox.
