I am a first-time, amateur driver with a strict preference for an automatic transmission. My budget is up to Rs 10 lakh on the road, but I can stretch to Rs 12 lakh if required. My usage will be very low initially, around 50 to 100 km per month. My priority is low and hassle-free maintenance with dependable showroom service. As a bonus, I would prefer models that offer a 360-degree camera or blind view monitor, as this would greatly help my confidence, though it is not a deal-breaker. Please suggest suitable models.

    The Maruti Suzuki Baleno and the Toyota Glanza will both suit your requirements well, depending on your brand preference, as they are essentially the same car beneath the cosmetic differences. They are easy to drive, come with a refined 1.2 litre four cylinder engine and a decent AMT automatic transmission. They are fuel efficient, spacious, comfortable for four adults and offer a large boot.
    In your budget, you can get the top variants of both models, and they come with a 360-degree camera as standard. While the camera quality is not the best, it is clear enough to help you park in tight spaces.
