Help me choose a brand new car for 2022: Mazda2 / Corolla Altis / Corolla Cross

The CVT of the "ipis" honda city though...

i think the owners and the casa are still pointing accusing fingers at each other.

one says, "because you did not follow maintenance recommendations",
while the other says, "your product sucks."

It's a left field option but would you consider a Hyundai Kona?

Decent engine performance, slightly above average ground clearance (180mm ata?), fuel efficient, no fancy complex direct injection that gets the intake valves fouled up eventually, no CVT, pretty simple and reliable since not much can go wrong. However it's a bit barebones similar to the corolla cross.

They've gotten better daw... But they also say CVT's will cost more to maintain w/ closer pricey periodic fluid swaps than conventional & the timer will continue ticking....daw.

I sincerely doubt cars that are less than 10 years old will have CVT issues.

You bought it new & cared for it well, sir. I wish every CVT owner everywhere longevity & no ill. Just not for one, like me, who keeps cars looooongterm...not about me right or anyone not.

I'm a "car guy"

the seating position, the ergonomics and the handling.

Hence, voting for the Corolla Altis.

Note: I didn't check the specs of the Altis... But a car without the following in 2022 is definitely a no-go for me.
-reverse camera
-reverse sensor
-CarPlay
-DRL
