Good day, sir! The Lancer does not have a 1.3L option. There is, however, a 1.6L CVT variant. If you have the budget, best choice would be the Jazz 1.3. Its got lots of space and though fuel economy cannot be compared to the previous iDSI version, there's a lot more power and the fuel consumption is still pretty acceptable. Same goes with the City, though its cargo space is inferior to the Jazz's. The Nissan Sentra GX is not a bad car, but its kinda old and it may be slightly underpowered when pushed. As for the Vios... There's nothing particularly wrong with it. Its the Filipino people's car which is very competent and reliable and runs like clockwork. But there are just too many of them in the streets that I find them undesirable. Besides, the cabin is cramped and power is just adequate. You may also want to consider the 1.4L Accent, which offers very much bang for your buck.

thank you gti. lady here by the way. ;)

it doesn't matter if the model is roaming widespread on the jam packed avenues of manila. anyway she'll be using this for school-house routes only. no need for a fast car in metro streets, just a pretty good fuel consumption is the factor.

Honda city is perfect for your daughter.

You can also check the Fiesta or the new Kia Picanto. But on a safe side, you can't go wrong with a Vios or Jazz. For me, Jazz is better than City overall. The interior of City feels less luxurious than Jazz.

Hello ma'am.

For your daughter, the Jazz would suit her best. The main advantage it would have is its easy maneuverability. Next would be the Honda City. Those two Honda's will suit your daughter's image rather than the two left.

If you find the prices of those two above hefty, because it really is, then the Vios would come in next. It's practical in every single way. Cheap to run and fuel efficient. However, image-wise it doesn't appeal so well. Last would be the Nissan GX, heavy body + small engine = poor fuel consumption.

Nope, the Lancer doesn't have a 1.3L engine. Starts at 1.6L

You're welcome.

Sabay may knocking issue 'no. Hassle.

Honda Jazz for me. Mas bagay sa girl than Honda City and Vios.

Yung Sentra, remove na yan sa choices.

[glntVR]

I would choose the Jazz for your daughter.

Nicest of the bunch with very functional interior and good value

you might also consider 1.0 if fuel is your main concern. FYI.

[ghosthunter]

The Kia Picanto is also another good choice. This has a 1.0L engine with A/T for only P599K.

[yapoy86]

picanto na.. masyado pricey ang jazz para sa home school home ni daughter.. picanto 1.0 3 cylinder engine matipid siguro yan.. cute pa

[Retz]

^

yes, that is what i have in mind too. 20-25km/li FC.

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.

for school-house lang naman ito. hindi naman cguro ito dadaan sa edsa.

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.

[cjv_justice]

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.

[JohnM]

and a 10000kms maintenance interval as compared to 5000kms for some others

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.

[renzo_d10]

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.

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!
