In my computation I just used the cost of fuel as my basis. I just assumed other costs would be similar to each other (financing, insurance, maintenance).
Been looking at another option... a 1997-1998 316i or 320i But am worried this option might actually cost me as much in maintenance and repairs as it does in savings.

I'm also torn between these two vehicles. Like you I'm planning to hold on to the car. There's no question that the City looks much better but I'm worried that it might not last very long especially when taken for long drives because of its low power engine. I am not really knowledgeable about cars. Is the power difference between these cars significant? Do you think that the city can withstand long distance travel?

It's small displacement engine would be more than enough for long distance travel. The question is... can you withstand driving long distances? The current City and Jazz will not be breaking the old Petron sponsored mileage challenge distances but it just shows what can be done by these modern small cars.

Unfortunately it's true. The current Jazz 1.3L A/T is not as fuel efficient as the older model with CVT A/T. But the trade off is the current Jazz uses a more traditional A/T system with avoids the relatively fragile CVT system of the older Jazz.
The new Jazz is still a great buy even if you won't be breaking the 1000km per full tank of gasoline record with it.
If you really want to maximize the fuel mileage out of every drop of gasoline, I would suggest getting the M/T version. Otherwise, just enjoy the ease of driving of the A/T version and don't worry about the slight increase in fuel consumption in fuel with the traditional A/T. It's still lower than what you would get if you got the Honda Civic A/T.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
