^the latest vios has a bigger body compared to its predecessor and basically the same engine
Bigger body are aerodynamically more inefficient and heavier as well
Thats why

January 7th, 2019 02:40 PM #14So basically you are looking for a weekend car. Not something for the daily commute. This means you can afford to get a more "fun" car as opposed to the most fuel efficient but "boring" car.
Go for the City. The 1.5 even, if budget permits. Since you said that you'll be using it in the province, with a light foot, FC will still be more than decent. 85hp 1.3 plus old school 4AT means only so-so FC for the Vios along with underwhelming performance should you gun it.

January 7th, 2019 02:51 PM #15The 1st gen Carnival is cheap. So very dirt cheap in fact that I am wary as to how well it will hold up. There have been stories before about reliability issues especially with regards to the automatic transmission.
The Mazda MPV has the same engine as the 1st gen Ranger/Everest. Not so sure if the rest of the parts are just as readily available though since it was only sold in limited numbers.
Nissan Serena is nice. Comfy and decently powerful. But FC is not very good. Some Japan surplus units come with the Navara's YD25 engine. But then of course you have to deal with the typical conversion problems (A/C, steering, brakes, front suspension) if you're unlucky.
The 1st gen Starex also fits in this price bracket, I believe. At least get the "turbo intercooler" version. Guaranteed parts supply anywhere in the long run and guaranteed mechanic familiarity. Its not particularly known for durability, but at least it'll be cheap to fix and run.

^The shell or the exterior affects the aerodynamic property of the car not the interior..drag is the force that is opppsite to the direction of the movement of a car..more drag means more fuel you need to burn
More weight requires more energy to move one object from one point to another. Hence, heavy cars are more thirsty on the fuel
Those are the laws of physics not toyota marketing
This is comparing old body vios with the latest body of a vios
