He has already claimed the city is more spacious than yaris and you are repeating his words 
Some of the people I know have trouble reaching Monal in gli manual and City 1.3 manual, so I totally doubt their driving skills
I have been to monal many times and on different cars. Once I had 2004 cultus whose engine was so weak that it could not go above 110 on motorway. If that car went up to Monal, then yaris 1.3 would be able to climb that height easily.
