I know a friend who has a ford fiesta S.. matakaw daw.. well i believe so considering the 1.6 engine... but the interior is nice.. but then... i like to stick to japanese car maker...,kinda old habit...

I went to see the accent crdi... malaki pala interior... but then, i'd pass the crdi.. i think this maybe just a fad..
Discussing this is pretty moot since it looks like you like the Yaris over all other options, and that's okay.

But to answer the questions..the Mirage is a much more modern engine compared to the old Vios' engine that has been around since the 90s. A decade's worth of advancements surely helps both power and economy.

Take note though that the Yaris/Vios gives much more than 81 hp it has on paper. Very torquey and efficient despite its age.

The Fiesta is no longer a 1.6. The flagship Fiesta has a 1.0 turbo that's not only fast, but also efficient. Very pricey though at 900k. Not very spacious either.

The Accent CRDi is bigger than the Mirage but just about the same as the Yaris. The turbo diesel isn't a fad though - it's been around for several years and Hyundai has been very good at the diesel game. The 1.6 engine does 25 km/L easily on the highway, while giving the same performance as 2-liter gas-fed sedans/CUVs.
