the jazz is nice but do you really need that flexible rear on a daily ? the city offers more boot volume. and when a something crashes onto your rear the city offers more distance...

1.6L Altis is an excellent alternative to 1.5L subcompacts since fuel consumption is almost the same and yet has the space and added prestige of a compact sedan.

January 10th, 2018 12:03 AM #8With 450k the TS can already get the post facelift version, up to 2014 model even, according to Olx. Current gen model is still firmly entrenched in the 500s.
Really like the Altis's timeless design though. Kinda like a mini-Camry.

From the list and chosen criteria, it has to be the Jazz. But at such a budget, I would get a used late model Civic FD (2009-2011) instead. Maintenance between the Civic and City/Jazz is not much different anyway. You may give up a 1 kilometer per liter in fuel efficiency but you have a bigger and faster car.
If handling is a key criteria, the Focus is a much better and more responsive drive than a Jazz or City or Vios. The Focus TDCi (turbo diesel, 2007-2008 MT or 2009-2011 6PS AT) is a good car and thrift on fuel but maintenance is not like a Honda or Toyota. The previous generation Focus (2012-2016) has a low resale value despite being a feature-packed car and offers good handling and a potent 2.0L engine but the DCT is prone to issues.
