    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
    Thank you sir for your advice. My car choices have all of the items you mentioned.
    Mazda just updated the features of 2022 Mazda 2.

    Those mazda3 and mazda2 are so small inside
    Cabin space is not really an issue to me for now. But I'll consider din. Pag isipan ko rin kung kakailanganin ko ba talaga siya in my future roadtrips. Thank you sir

    Our T32 X-trail's JATCO CVT still works like new with 106,000 km on it. My neighbor's much older T31 X-trail with 180k+ km on it still has no signs of slippage.

    Maybe those with CVT failures have never seen a CVT fluid change?

    Test drive bro. 1week effort of fun lol. It's a million peso purchase. Feel the engine vibrate on all of them. Imagine getting stuck in edsa for 3hrs.

    About the cabin size, I prefer the civic front seats over the Honda city's. Black interiors are boring.

    Test drive from a Toyota dealer? Good luck with that.

    That's good to hear. Again referencing Scotty Kilmer from one of his videos, Nissan has the worst CVT daw.

    Yes sir. Now that I got your feedbacks, I'll do that on 1st or 2nd quarter of 2022.
    Sana may maka imbento ng driving simulator imitating the car's ride and the roads para hindi na kailangan lumabas lol.

    let me share my experience.
    the one and only time i went for a test-drive, was when i was contemplating the wigo.
    and i did not test-drive the casa's demo car.
    i test-drove the wigo of one of the casa people.
    highs.

    a few years ago, casa had an appropriately-marked demo innova, parked at the door.
    but it had since disappeared since covid.

    Bro you can message the hundreds of sales agents on fb if their dealership have test units. Also ask if you can schedule ahead of time.

    I wouldn't really consider the words that are coming out of Scotty's as the be all, end all. Take it with a grain of salt.

    Anyway, if you ever decide to go Mazda 2, I'd suggest the hatchback. You won't believe how versatile the cargo space is. One time I've loaded a set of rims in a hatchback, try doing that with a sedan.

    but a sedan probably offers more passenger protection, in the case of a bad rear-ender.

    Dalawa lang naman daw sila most of the time. But that's true.
    In my personal experience though, I've used the cargo space of a hatchback more than the times I've been rear ended (which is zero).
    Side collisions though, that's a different story.
