Padmini - of course
It was our first family car and the first car I ever drove (with steering mounted gear shift)!

Simple mechanics, reaonably reliable and frugal with a boot.

Padmini was more agile than Ambassador. After driving Padmini, driving Ambassador (without PAS then) felt like driving a truck

The only drawback of Padmini was low ground clearence - a problem during waterlogged streets at monsoons.
