Even though the city where my mom lives is quite hilly, I still believe a 4-speed transmission with a direct-drive top gear and a wider gear spread and a higher differential would be better than the stock 5-speed fitted in her Toyota Etios. Anyway, considering that more gears end up increasing the manufacturing cost while the Etios is supposed to be a no-frills model, it did surprise me that the updated versions got a 6-speed manual even though the recently released automatic ones still rely on a 4-speed transmission.
