1.5 CVT was my idea aswell, but the market feedback is 1.2 CVT or 1.5 Aspire... people only pay extra for Kashkas that come with Aspire, although 1.5 has cruise control but still lacks some good add-ons. After getting a good look at market i upgraded to aspire... 1.5 basic is very hard find in market, i searched around and was willing to pay own aswell, eventually ended up with Aspire and am glad with the decision.
Previously i had 1.2 and would say that aspire is worth the extra couple of bucks you pay... with 1.5 basic you pay extra not only in the invoice but also at registeration and yearly token. The addons with basic 1.5 are not worth it... just anteena, a couple of chromes and cruise control do not justify the near 3 lakh on road price difference, yes prior to mini budget, it was a considerable option.
