Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Nissan Micra

CVT gearbox: The petrol-powered Micra is available with a CVT automatic transmission only. A CVT not only keeps fuel consumption in check but also ensures smooth power delivery
Interior space & quality: The Micra has a spacious cabin. The quality of plastics and materials used is good

Volkswagen Ameo

110PS diesel engine is a powerhouse! Can be fun and frugal at the same time.
Solid build quality inside-out, similar to that of its siblings. The Polo and the Vento.
Most feature loaded vehicle in the segment with features such as cruise control, MirrorLink support and others.

Nissan Micra

Underthigh support for rear seat passengers could have been better
Three-cylinder petrol engine offers average performance

Volkswagen Ameo

Cabin best suited for four occupants. Rear-seat legroom and headroom could have been better as well
Relatively weak after sales network compared to competitors like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai.
The Ameo doesn't offer an automatic option with petrol, almost every other car in the segment offers a petrol automatic.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine feels underpowered, especially on the highways.
