it is the better drive, even if the looks is uninspiring.
altis? hermmm.. looks wise, nothing special. interior is boring as hell, typical unker toyota type. city's much more inspiring. might need to consider that as the interior is the part that you will spend staring at most of the time in the car.
or if u can stretch ur budget, might as well beli civic.
or if dynamic capabilities is your priority, ford focus st 2.0 diesel, if u can afford the depreciation.
