auto transmission is bad news on flooded roads...... in manual you can keep the engine revving at high rpm so that water does not enter the tail pipe and control the speed of car using the clutch.....but this technique is not possible with auto tranny.....also vitz has low road clearance so the silencer is more prone to drown in water than in high clearance cars...... i suggest that you stick to alto or find a manual vitz..
