Questions you may find useful

•12w

I am a new driver and am looking to buy my first new car for a family of five. It will be used for both city and highway driving. I have shortlisted the Honda Amaze VX, Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi, Maruti Suzuki Baleno Zeta, and Skoda Kylaq Signature. My priorities are comfort, safety and value for money. Also, should I choose a manual or an automatic?

I'm looking to buy a car primarily for city driving with a budget of 10 lakh or less. I'm considering the Honda Amaze, Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Skoda Kylaq. Would you recommend any of these, or is there another option I should consider?
