ah, forget to mention, on engine side, a common notes is that power to weight ratio is about 80hp++ pertonne, the higher,the better of course. So, if u calculate, almost all common cars have around that figure. But nowadays, the trend is focusing more on torque,rather than hp, unless for a sporty variant coz more hp means higher speed, but sometimes also higher fc.

Just sharing info that i learn n get from sources.

Erm, yup,have the money, go for premium coz u get many things with small fraction of price. If not, just go for manual executive unless u dont like manual. Just personal view coz still loving driving manual, coz power in ur own hand, easy to maintain(of course, in any car, manual is cheaper to maintain), but most importantly,its getrag, smooth n slick. Unless opt for premium,coz have tip n paddle shifter.

But sometimes, when cought in heavy traffic, then always thinking it is better having auto than manual, but u can have both in premium version.

So,it matters of preferance, but in manual, really needs to rev to extract the torque, but in cvt, just step the thottle, engine is almost at it best whichever rpm u choose. Hurm, tough choice is it for executive. But if using dated 4at, then i urge to buy the mt coz u know how big is the diff of performance when driving mitsu mt vs at. Try urself driving manual cps n auto cps exora,then u know what i mean.
