I have a strict budget of Rs 10 lakh. I live in Bangalore and, considering the traffic, I want an automatic car. Under Rs 10 lakh, should I go for the Tata Punch, Altroz, Nexon Smart or something else? My priorities are safety, an automatic gearbox and decent mileage. Also, please advise considering the ethanol-blending scenario, as that is something I am really concerned about.

Which car should I buy with an Rs 8-9.5 lakh budget and 15,000km annual running? My highway-to-city usage is 70:30. I am posted in Maharashtra, and my hometown is approximately 1,100km away. I need good boot space and mileage, and the car will be registered under the BH series. Should I go for petrol, diesel or EV? I have looked at the Tata Altroz diesel, Tata Nexon diesel and Maruti Dzire petrol.

This is on behalf of my friend. He owns an MG Astor, which was one of the first batches of Astors produced. It is a non-E20 vehicle and is giving very poor mileage of around 7 kmpl. He drives around 1,000 km a month, and the car has clocked 39,000 km. It is the Smart CVT variant. Should he resell it now and get a diesel car like the Nexon or Altroz? He likes power and would prefer at least a basic level of features equivalent to those in his Astor. If it is advisable to replace the car, how much can he expect to get by selling it in Chennai? What cars could he consider in the Rs. 11-13 lakh on-road price range in Chennai?
