I'll be getting a new sedan next month and I prefer a manual transmission. I am thinking of getting either of the 2 but I am more leaning towards the Altis, because of:

1. Cheaper. Price is P853,000 (after discount) while Elantra is P868,000 (after discount)
2. Well, Toyota is known for reliable cars (Maybe, maybe not?)
3. Good after sales

One advantage I am seeing for Elantra is of course this is a new model (fresher looks) while Altis is about 2 years older. Honestly, I don't know much about the new Elantra, its specs and all. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
