which one...brio....wigo....or...mirage glx...

Una naming plano is mirage glx but minsan naitanong ko sa isang mekaniko bout 3 cyclinder cars.ang sabi eh,matipid daw sya for city driving but for highway(long ride)eh matakaw din daw kaya sana maliwanagan ako sa usaping ito.kaya ngayon kinoconsider namen is honda brio dahil 4 cyclinder na sya.compact cars lang talaga ang magpifit sa garahe hence maliit sya madali ang manuvere papasok at palabas pagnagsabay sila ng montero sa garahe.let's say lipa to mamplasan via startoll,actex and slex VV daily papasok ng work.

How did that mechanic arrived in that theory na matipid lang ang 3-cylinder sa city driving? Theoretically, 3-cylinder engines provided same displacement sila ng 4-cylinder will have better fuel efficiency since 3-cylinder engines has leas friction load of parts. Less load means less effort, less effort translate into fuel consumption. Actually sa fuel efficiency, kailangn mo rin consider ang: no. of passengers, driving habit, tire pressure even aerodynamics. Those are just some of the things to consider.
Manufacturers produce each of their sub-compacts to be fuel efficient. As long as your pick can fit nicely with your monty in your garage, you'd be fine. If it doesnt fit your garage then scratch it from the list.
Maintenance- as long as you follow routine PMS religiously, your car will last for a long time.
Maintenance cost- I dont think it will cost you an arm naman. Its a sub-compact
