I personally felt 1.5 CVT standard city is an ideal choice.
When leasing 1.5 standard and aspire have roughly 3 to 5 k difference in 3 years financing.
1.6 Corolla is only 62k more pricer then asprie cvt ( if talking about invoice value).
You do miss goodies like push start, climate control, cruise control, leather seats, cvt transmission.
But you get a Corolla as trade off.
City feels premium out of all saga, Alsvin, Yaris and City.
But even with the basic 1.5 CVT You miss some goodies which competition is offering for lesser price.
It all goes down to personal choices.
As @AABBDDuullaahh said if this is your only car get a Corolla adding a few bucks.
I know some people who would buy 3 or 4 Corollas but won't get a City
I personally would go for a City if I already had a Corolla.
