Most reliable daily drive with lowest TCO

[playplugg]

Need advice on a new daily drive.

I currently own an Alterra and a 9-year old Vios with almost 200km on its odometer. My Vios is my daily drive, and the SUV is used only during long trips and coding. I would replace my Vios soon with an equally economical car (in terms of TCO and fuel efficiency) - After 9 years of ownership, the only major fixes done to the Vios are compressor replacements and the normal wear-and-tear maintenance (e.g. brakes, suspension).

There are too many choices in the market right now, and I'm torn among the small cars (Wigo, Mirage, ...), subcompacts(City, Vios, ...) and mpvs (Avanza, Ertiga, ...).

My criteria:
1. I don't need a high performance car.
2. I need a car that I can own convenienty for the next 10 years.
3. Low TCO and fuel efficiency. Cheap parts and maintenance.
4. Basic security features (sensors and airbags).
5. Flood-wading capability is not that important.
6. Budget of 500k - 900k.
7. Manual transmission, but light to drive (soft clutch).
8. Best discount for cash buyer.
9. I don't go for looks (evident on my "hearse"-looking Alterra as the haters say it). I go for reliability.

TIA

Sir mykpogi,

For utilitarian, Altis G variant (MT) and innova (J and E variant), for everyday driving + the design of the body, (wide body frame is very advantage lalo wag naman po sana, in-case of any certain minor or major collision) and lastly, the basic and important safety equipment ng certain vechile(s), airbag & and ABS.... good enough features, (practically wise + tech. knowledge) and strategically
wise...pag dating sa mga expenses, hehehe

kahit anong sasakyan po yan, basta by the end of the day, kahit sobrang bilis ng depreciation ng sasakyan, pero profit income ang pag-gamit ng sasakyan + the practical wise...bawing bawi yan sir! hehehe...

I would recommend the innova J because it's within your budget of 900k

how about the isuzu crooswind xt even if it doesen't have airbags it fits all 8 of your criteria

Sirs!!

Medyo nalalakihan ako sa Innova
Pero priority ko talaga ang safety ko, and my passengers, kaya I need basic security features (e.g. ABS, Airbags, Sensors). As much as possible, I want to get these features na stock na (ayaw ko magpa after market especially the security features).
