Not sure what the budget is sounds like from P600,000 to P650,000. Personally, I'd go with the Vios but the A/T version is only available on the 1.5l model. The main reason is really resale value and the availability (and not too expensive) of spare parts. Also, you can almost always be sure that 3rd party mechanics will be able to service your vehicle.
If you're not to finicky about power everything, the new Honda City A is near this price range too.
