Civic 2009 is good; another option: nissan latio premium, made in jp alsotwo of my teammates bought latio last year. big space, low fuel consumption, low maintenance cost. but somebody says its "ugly"... i personally think this car is more suitable for those "classic" people, or so called old fashion one as me. another two of my teammates bought jazz 1.3, one last year, one this year, space is ok, but even lower fuel consumption, costing a bit higher since it is from Honda. Jazz is good, really good for a small family. two of another teammates drives sunny automatic version. this car is cheaper, low maintenance cost as it is from nissan. but the fuel consumption is too high as a 1.6L engine. they say the auto gear-box is lousy, causing high fuel consumption. the manual version is good, but it's really really old model. another teammate drives the old version vios. cheaper, good fc, but the backseat space is not enough, made in tailand. anyway, you can trust it since its from toyota. not sure if this year' (more...)
