We are in the market for a subcompact sedan for less than 800k. My wife and I already created a shortlist. We are not interested in the Vios 1.3AT since my parents already have one. Considerations are:
Fuel Economy
Spacious
Fun to drive
Reliable
What's your vote and why?

The Mazda2 is the most fun, but the Honda City ticks all the boxes. The only question mark is the CVT transmission. It's supposedly more durable than the old dry clutch CVT, but only time will tell.

The City matches most of your considerations but it's not that fun to drive.

The electric steering has no feel, but it's relatively sharp and handling is pretty nimble. Not as exciting a steer as the Fiesta or Mazda2, but pretty good, depending on the wheel-tire combo.
With the E variant, the bigger tires and smaller wheels will hurt handling, but you can always change the tires out for something nicer.

Very true, Niky! The EPS on the Honda smaller cars lacks feel. We have the previous generation City and Jazz (VTEC, GE chassis), both cars never seem to excite me with its steering response. They are good city cars though, fuel efficient and easy to drive, not to mention spacious for a small car.
Both cars though are not as agile and quick as my Fiesta Ecoboost.Last edited by Egan101; April 12th, 2016 at 04:31 PM.

City VX has a sizeable discount.
Engine and cvt has no issues the past 4yrs..
Good resale value imo.

It sounds like a potential headache for the unlucky ones that got their units from EV solutions PH...
