We are actually considering the Accent Sedan CRDi since it is around our budget. We will take time to take a look at it.

Saw a Yaris G earlier today, nice car (orangey paint, rear wheel disc brakes, subtle red accents). I have no idea how much it costs, but worth looking into ... IMHO.

Do you really need practicality? You already have 3 practical cars, why not go for a quirky fun one this time?

Perhaps the 1.4L Swift so you get a better-looking car with more power while still retaining the same cutesy dimensions.

Good point. That is a good case on the Swift. I can't justify though the increase in price on the 1.4 Swift, since the 1.2 has all the features of the 1.4 except for a smaller engine and rims.

I think that color is only available for TOTL. That really was the color that the missis likes, unfortunately, it is already near the Altis category.

Accent 1.4 mt...600k....extra cheap lol

How does the new engine perform on the 1.4 Accent? Did it fix those previous sputtering engine issues plaguing the old engine?

If you can wait for 2-3 months and said your wife would like a nice looking dash, may I suggest the all-new Mazda 2. It should come out early-mid 2015.

. I also wouldn't like to lend my V because there is some learning curve to get used to when using the floor-parking brake. We have narrowed down our choices to the Swift 1.2 MT and the Vios 1.3 E MT. All our cars are ATs and we would like to have an MT. My parents have the Vios 1.3E MT which I already have driven extensively but we are buying this new car for us. I know its not an apples-to-apples comparison, but our budget falls around 700k or less. The need isn't immediate and we plan to get the car in a couple of months and would like to research as early as now. Any suggestions or votes?
