I'll be selling my 2014 Focus M/T to add to the amount and also to change to A/T due to traffic. I still cannot decide whether to get a brand new car or second hand(mint) car.

I won't be upgrading to an SUV/MPV since I still prefer driving a sedan and also don't need the space they provide.

Please help me pick which car to buy. Here are my Top picks for the cars, I prefer it to be below 1M.
1. 11th gen Altis 2.0V (700-800k)
2. Mazda 3 Skyactiv 2.0V (600-700k)
3. 9th gen Civic 2.0 (500-600k)
4. 10th gen Civic 1.8 (800-900k)
5. Focus Ecoboost (600-700k)
6. Honda City(Brand New)
7. Mazda 2(Brand New)

My preference would be
1. Easy to Drive Daily especially on tight spaces
2. Fuel Consumption
3. Space for 4-5
4. Parts and Maintenance

TIA
From your priorities it would seem that the Honda City ticks all the boxes. Decent cabin and cargo space while still maintaining subcompact dimensions, decent fuel consumption with good perfomance, a 10tkms service interval and lots of parts. Added bonus that you can get it brand new with all the bells and whistles. I know many accomplished doctors and business executives who use this as their daily driver. Low key yet refined enough for their tastes perhaps?

I would also suggest the Altis, should you want something more upscale. But get the 1.6 variant for fuel efficiency. Reason to buy? Its a Toyota, period. And also that jut703 swears by its performance despite the low displacement.
