i'm driving a 2011 city now. and being an uncle now with 2 kids, overall i think honda comfort is less than desirable if compare to toyota?

my next car is likely going to be a 2nd hand altis or camry.
likely altis is good enough.

The 2nd hand of Altis 1.8 year 2019 should be around 95k. The car drive comfortable yet capable to take fast corner with linear body roll. With the TNGA and rear suspension setup in double wishbone, this is really a good car. Civic is definitely better in power but Altis is better in handing and riding experience.

Isn’t CVT supposed to be silky smooth!?

The designer of this dual-mode CVT somehow keep the gearbox simulate like auto having "gear change" while in D mode, I personally don't like it. And in low speed sometimes the car jerk when the leg leave the gas pedal. In slow climbing road and step harder can feel the car vibrate a bit, but I feel the same on the Nissan Serena which my brother own.

My family own a new Alza which using the same engine and gearbox like the new Vios. New Alza ride and handling is quite impressive and I believe Vios gonna perform better since it has lower center of gravity. My own ride is a VW model with MQB platform.
