Why do you need more power or pick when you drive like a grandpa anyway
In terms of upgrade, like others have said, avoid City aspire.
Civic X and Grande will be the real upgrades for you. Stick to these two.
Not sure if 1.6 Altis CVT has cruise but if yes, can go for it as well if itโs significantly less in price than a Grande/Civic.
Plus Elantra too if you donโt care much about resale and parts price/availability.
