thanks for the responses...
i did not expect that there are a lot of models to choose from, since i have only three in my mind:
honda jazz 1.5 AT
honda City 1.5 AT
toyota Altis 1.6 G.

now to dissect which of these models, has more bang for the buck.

Honda jazz 1.5 AT - Small. Very fun to drive and definitely easy to maneuver. However, the Toyota Yaris is better in terms of price. And, they have the same engine displacement which is 1.5

Honda City 1.5 AT - Plastics inside are very much intact. The advantage of this over the Honda Jazz would be the trunk space and the overall size. Aside from the two, I think they share the same features - led on side mirror covers, 15 in. alloy rims (?), central lock, keyless entry, power windows and stuff like that.

Toyota Altis 1.6 G. - Among the three, this is the best. It has the most comfortable seats. It has the biggest trunk space, it has the biggest engine bay ( the jazz and the city is cramped, same as the fd's ) , it has the most power , fc doesn't differ since the difference is just .1L . Obviously, it's bigger, but shares the same amenities as the 2 does.

Oh by the way, the altis has the cheapest maintenance but the PMS intervals differ. Honda do it at every 10k while toyota would be every 5k.

I'm pretty much in the same situation. One question though, will 840k afford me a 1.6 Altis G A/T after discounts?

[Starex_Gold]

dun sa 3 na pinag pipilian mo, sulit ka dun sa Altis kasi cheapest maintenance, bigger body, bigger interior, bigger engine and more power? (109PS lang ang Altis at 121PS ang 1.5L Jazz & City) and SOFTER SEATS AND SUSPENSION

IMO, ayos lang naman na maliit ang engine bay, ang importante yung nasa loob ng engine bay. ano nga kung maluwag, di mo naman kayang habulin ang FD ;)

[renzo_d10]

SG : Okay ! I stand corrected.

yes, 839k after discount...

[renzo_d10]

Saipeme :: Kasama na iyung mga addt'l fees ? Yung insurance, LTO etc. etc.

[kevin3000]

bakit renz kukuha ka na din?

[XTO]

I'd go for the top of the line Honda City 1.5 E AT at 806,000 for it has the newest look.

how about a ford focus 1.8 a/t hatch. fits the budget.... i think.

[LeOxe]

the best bang for the buck would be the Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6G

it has all the necessary features you need as a daily driver plus the ride is much much comfortable even the seats.

Honda Jazz. 838K. 1.5 vtec, 120 hp. A/T with paddle shifters. abs. dual air-bags. Honda marque.
