Hehe~ Sorry ma'am, didn't notice the username.

Ah yes, I see your point. Simple and reliable transportation from point A to point B. If you want the best for your daughter, the Jazz would be the best choice having no known issues, excellent performance and fuel efficiency, and a 10000kms maintenance interval as compared to 5000kms for some others. Also, hatches are much easier to park than sedans with no trunk to block the view, and also an inherently shorter length as compared to their sedan counterparts. And then the Jazz has no handicap in the space department unlike the other hatches in this segment, so its for me the best car which fits her needs currently available in the market.

You may also want to go one step lower and take a look at the Kia Picanto as suggested. If you don't mind the even smaller size and 1.0L inline 3 engine, its a pretty solid car that also happens to be very good looking, almost as if it were a European car.

IMHO lang, i would'nt consider small cars for my daughter, PUV's tend to bully small vehicles.

Kapag sinabi bang " school-house " purpose eh stuck na dun? Hindi ba pwedeng dalhin sa mall kapag weekend?

Or hindi pwede gumimik kapag Friday?

Err.

The Vios gets my vote. Cheap to maintain IMHO. I suggest the newer 1.3G variant, Madam.

As for the 1.3 Hondas, I'm not sure though if there are still supply issues with their dealers.

CMIIW you still have to change your oil filter and top up your oil every 5k even when using synthetic.

Picanto gets my vote. It's small and easy to park especially where space is at a premium aka school.

The new Picanto is cute, but do put some attention to the new Swift, too.

And some other hatchbacks such as the Ford Fiesta & the Mazda 2.

1.3 nissan gx
1.3 toyot vios
1.3 honda jazz
1.3 honda city

does lancer has 1.3 automatic?

tia guys.

They are all 1.3's, thus fuel consumption (FC) is not really a big factor for those cars. Rather, go with comfort, safety & looks.

If you really want most economical FC, you can downgrade your selection below 1.3. Say 1.1 or 1.0 would be a better FC!
