Though I'm not an expert would like to contribute with my 2 cents. 

"less troublesome" - Focusing on reliability and easy maintainability it will be Corolla 141 vs Belta. 

Both are proven as reliable and easily maintainable cars.

But Beltas have CVT gearboxes and after 100k on the odo there may be a possible replacement that would cost a little bit. 141s conventional gear box will not have that problem.

So I would name Corolla 141 as the winner here.

its like asking if who is less troublesome  - your wife or your GF

don't know where people find these facts?

wht are the evidences?

all modern toyotas got these cvt, i-cvt gear boxes. most belta got i-cvt.

timely changed oil, strictness to genuine oil & proper usage on gear box will not last it in 100k.

this is applicable for all transmissions in world in general...

The myth in Sri Lanka " Toyota cars are much more reliable than other car brands" has already changed. In autolanka forum you can  find many  threads on faulty toyota cvt transmission and even similar threads are available on elakiri car forum and Rayaz reviews on CVT. Generally CVTs are not reliable as coventional AT and CVT gives you only more Kmpls and CVT doesn't give better driving pleasure like AT. However the lifetime of the CVT boxes most of the time depends on your driving style (if you're heavy footed driver then CVT is not for you because too much throttling is not good for CVT) and the way you maintain your car. When it comes CVT reliability, Nissan cars are better than other japs brands because JATCO is the company (Nissan own subsidiary) which supply gearboxes to Nissan, Suzuki and several other European auto manufacturers. So thoroughly inspect transmission from agents before buying a belta or any cvt equipped car because this repair may cost atleast Rs.100,000.
