I am a bit confused about selecting a brand for an automatic car: Option 1: Maruti Baleno or Toyota Glanza Option 2: Maruti Fronx or Toyota Taisor My concerns are mileage, safety, comfort, build quality, and maintenance costs for a six-foot-tall person driving on rough roads in Chennai.

As you know, the Baleno and Glanza are essentially the same car, just as the Fronx and Taisor are. So your choice between Maruti Suzuki and Toyota really comes down to brand preference and the sales and service network each has near you.

In terms of space and comfort, all four cars have similar cabins, with enough seat travel and headroom to comfortably accommodate a six-foot-tall driver.

As per your needs, the Fronx or Taisor are better choices, especially when driving on rough roads around Chennai. Their slightly higher ground clearance handles uneven surfaces well. They also offer a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, which is smoother and more responsive than the AMT in the Baleno and Glanza.

While the turbo-automatic versions may give slightly lower fuel efficiency, they make up for it with better performance, refinement, and comfort, which matters more for daily driving.
