If extra power is more important, just swap to a Sportivo MT.

If you're just going to get an automatic, the APV 1.6 AT is horrendously slow. Almost as bad as the Crosswind. The Avanza 1.3 AT is quick from a stop because first gear is very short, but if you're overtaking on the highway in an emergency, it has very little power.
