I was in your shoes for almost 5 months. So let me share my feedback.
I recently bought a urban titanium 1.5e Honda City. I can say is that my money is all worth it.. Not being biased and all. At first I'm looking in getting the 1.4 Hyundai Accent, but after hearing about the engine knock and suspension issue, I immediately pulled out my reservation.
I didn't remove the 1.3s Honda City in my choice but hearing the lack of power when accelerating of the 1.3s and almost same FC with the 1.5e, I opted for the TOTL.
The paddle shifter is very helpful in terms of acceleration. 1.5e is known to have long gear ratio sa 1st and 2nd gear. The paddle shift will help you with that.
The trunk space is biggest in its class. Just dont compare it to the utility feature of the Jazz because thats a different story.
Go to Honda Marikina and look for Ronald he will surely give you a good deal.. Tell him Aaron referred you.
To give you an idea about my FC. Please see the details below.
City driving is 12.6KM/Liter - based on the trip meter. (route is Sampaloc - Makati - Bonifacio Global)
17.3 KM/Liter Highway - based on the trip meter
Goodluck and Congratulations in advance. All the best.
