Suggestions for R180k hatchback

I owned a Jazz CVT for twelve years and did 167,000km.
For the application as stated by the OP it's perfect.

Many reviews bitch about the 'slipping clutch' effect when you floor the accelerator but this can be remarkably lessened if you do a bit of manual shifting and juggle the accelerator pedal.

I've never owned a CVT just test drove one. I don't know what the fuss is about. There was the "humming noise" but you probably get used to that fairly quickly.

So I'll give it another 10 years then and see

They've been around for a while. Also in Australia I believe. AFAIK they're the upmarket version of GWM.
Anyway the reviews on them are very good.
I would have gotten the H1 myself, except I'm a bit tall for the car and no auto.
