Since you are a new driver, we would recommend the Tata Punch. The car’s compact dimensions will make it easy to maneuver in the city, and the elevated seating will also provide a good view of the road and the outside conditions.
Do note that if you are buying a manual, the clutch is on the heavier side. However, since your driving is occasional and if the traffic is not heavy around your area, this should be manageable. The Punch has also recently received a major facelift, so you will enjoy the novelty of owning a brand-new car.
