    What would you recommend for daily city driving, a small car with Auto Transmission, criteria as follows in order of priority:

    1. Fuel efficiency
    2. Reliability
    3. Spare parts
    4. Easy to maneuver in traffic and park in tight spaces

    I don't need big interior space or fancy gadgets (I have the other car for that), and just need a daily reliable point A to point B car. Low price and low maintenance costs would be ideal, purchase price around P700k (can go slightly over).

    Also suggest other brands/models even if not mentioned in above options.

    Thanks.

    i suggest either mirage or accent (diesel). both fuel effecient. much easy to maneuver in traffic and park ang mirage because of its size. but assume they have the same km/liter with accent, diesel naman so mas mura ang pa-gas

    Thanks *dct.

    Would you know the actual fuel consumption for pure city driving of mirage and accent diesel?

    1. Fuel efficiency -- accent diesel
    2. Reliability -- jazz, vios
    3. Spare parts -- any japanese brand
    4. Easy to maneuver in traffic and park in tight spaces -- jazz, vios, mirage. (the accent has small windows / windshield compared to the three. may "sanayan" factor)

    overall, cant go wrong with a vios or jazz given your 700k budget, let the test drive decide. (i really wanted a hatch so it was an easy decision between the two haha.) ok din mirage, but has yet to prove reliability in our local roads. the accent diesel a/t is way above your budget since a/t only comes with the top variant * 868k.
