    I'd add the Accent or Getz CRDi if OP wants some speed. And they're diesel, so fuel cost will be lower; but offset by maintenance cost.

    Siguro. Baka.
    Di daw mailabas ng HARI ang i20 kasi masyado din mahal.

    Yung Mini Cooper naman. Never naging tipid sa gas yun. 1.6L pero nakaka 7km/L lang sa city. BMW eh

    The SX4 is already here. Saw one yesterday at gateway mall. Comes with horrid plastics, tiny sounding doors, very firm seats, not so many toys...not that very outstanding. The Yaris, 2 and Jazz are more sensible choices. If you could wait, the Ford Fiesta is also coming and it is one good mini.

    By third quarter lalabas na ang Ford Fiesta. Wait for it na lang bro. Plasticky ang Mazda 2, Suzuki SX4 (if only it was AWD - okay na okay na sana). I don't like the look of the new Honda Jazz, okay yung pre-facelifted version (pero CVT na problematic naman).

    When it comes to sensible small cars, the best out there is the Honda Jazz. Nothing beats it when it comes to fuel consumption, space, and practicality.

    Sure, its probably the most expensive of the bunch you chosen but it is really worth the price. If you want something frugal, then choose the 1.3L version.

    Being a former Jazz owner, I consider it one of the best cars I drove.

    isa-suggest ko sana ang mazda 2 since it's a new model, but mazdas aren't known for fuel economy (but we don't know about this one)
    e di ba may manual tranny yung mazda2? di ko lang alam ang FC ng M/t version.

    suzuki swift, Toyota yaris, Honda Jazz will do.
    or even cheap chinese branded cars, if you will consider them, pero questionable ang PMS nila.

    Whew it's getting harder and harder *_* (maybe its because im a 1st timer)

    Still reading forums about the ff:
    - Honda Jazz
    - Mazda 2 (Hatch/Sedan) just saw yesterday ang cute :3
    - Hyundai (Getz/i10) when it comes to price
    - Im giving it a try for Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Swift

    Much better to do is to visit the car dealers to see the actual unit like what renzo_d10 suggest.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH tsikoters. Feel free to express your ideas

    Kung kaya naman ng budget mo ng Class B cars tangalin mo na Hyundai i10 and Getz sa listahan... Personally tatangalin ko na din yung Swift (unless porma hanap mo) kasi ang liit nya at ang sikip...

    Yaris maganda lang sa kanya is yung PRICE. Last year nakabili ako nyan for just P643,000 after all the discounts (I think it was P70,000 all together)... Yan ang pinaka murang 1.5L car na makukuha mo (at that time mas mura pa sa 1.3E Vios) na hindi Chinese... Yung Jazz ang pinakamaganda pero ang mahal! Na turn off ako sa price kaya Yaris nakuha ko since bumili lang naman ako ng subcompact para sa short trips ko dito sa QC office namin about 7km from my house, I didn't have any need for the Jazz's cargo ability dahil may Santa Fe naman ako or I can borrow my dad's Landcruiser if the SF is not enough... Yung MZ2 no comment, never driven one nor inspected one.

    Ito pampagulo, kung kaya mo hintay October hintayin mo na lang yung Ford Fiesta. Let's see what that car has to offer then we can decide clearly!

    All cars you mentioned are quality cars. One factor you should consider will depend on what kind of car owner you are?! Kung pang matagalan talaga then it's ok to buy cars which has a low resale value.

    If you are the type who will sell the car after 5 yrs then you want want to consider cars which has the resale value sa market. Toyota and Honda has the best resale value in the market.

    2010 ngayon if you sell your car sa 2015. Pag ang nabili mo mababa ang resale value lugi ka diba. But kung pang matagalan ang pag "ownership" mo ng first car mo then it's ok to buy the lower resale value kasi nasulit mo naman ang pero mo.

    Others just consider buying another car when they can afford it na para di malugi sa pag benta ng 1st car nila.

    Good luck in your decision!
