Currently, yung mga pasok sa budget is:

Mitsubishi Mirage GLX
Hyundai i10 GLS
Suzuki Celerio DX
Chevrolet Spark

Nahihilo na sa dami ng choices

May 1.2 ang Picanto and Spark din

Best advice is to test drive and check the units

I have test driven the lot.

My choice, MIRAGE.

Reasons - more interior space, better build quality, better ride.

If your budget stretches that high, why not look at the Rio?

Base 1.2 Rio is 550k pesos. For that, you get a car with a 1.2 liter engine that's decent on gas (not as economical as the Mirage, but still decent) and powerful enough for city driving. (Only feels weak above 100 km/h).

And the interior is far and away much bigger than anything else for the price. Honda City level na yung laki.

And the ride and sound insulation are better than in most small cars.

Mukhang Mirage yung top choice dito.

Matic lang ba talaga ang mapagpipilian? Do take note that most A/T superminis give rather disappointing gas mileage.

Among the choices I'd be choosing between the Mirage and Picanto. Mirage for the superior gas mileage afforded by the CVT and inline-3 engine. And Picanto due to sheer looks alone.

Napapangitan ako sa Mirage eh.

I would hope you give bro niky's suggestion a second thought. The Rio gives you a much more upscale treatment, despite being base model. Get a white unit, change rims, add fogs and perhaps a DRL retrofit (since the Rio has provisions for it after all). And it will turn heads wherever you go.
