I’ve been using a second hand 2011 Ford Figo Titanium Diesel for the past 3.5 years. I’m now considering buying a new Baleno or Glanza. Should I go for the manual or AMT variant, considering ease of use and driving fun? I’m conscious about mileage and maintenance, so please guide me accordingly.

Since the Baleno and Glanza are essentially the same car, pick the one that you prefer in terms of styling and the brand you are more comfortable with. The AMT is likely to be as efficient as the manual version, despite offering the convenience of clutch-free driving, hence you could consider it over the manual.
