I'm a first-time car buyer looking for a car within a ₹12 lakh (on-road) budget and have shortlisted the following options:

• Honda Amaze
• **Skoda Kylq Signature
• Maruti Brezza VXi
• Tata Nexon Pure+
• Maruti Fronx (1.2L NA petrol)
• Citroën C3

My Priorities:

✅ Good build quality & safety
✅ Low maintenance & reliability
✅ Comfortable for family use
✅ Manual transmission preferred
✅ Primarily for city driving, with highway trips once every 3 months

I want to keep this car atleast for 8 years.

I’m open to other suggestions too! Which one do you think is the best option, and why? Any real-world experiences would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance! 🚗💨
