Narrowing Down the Scope

Here are the scope that I would like to narrow it to:


Toyota: Vios, RAV4, Altis

Honda: Civic, CRV, HRV (2nd Hand Year 2000 onwards)

Hyundai Coupe (2nd Hand year 2002 onwards)

maybe the new satria neo...

Looking for atleast 1.6 - 2.0

kia where got good FC? kia famous for bad FC lei....

btw, i dun think honda city got gear box problem, even got, u stil got 3 years warranty for its parts...last time got the gear box problem becoz they use wrong fluid...then they ask all city/jazz for update ecu and change fluid, its good for gear box...so dun simply claim before find out the facts... and city is nice car to ride....its sooo soo silent inside the cabin. city idsl is really good for pickup and FC...but if u wanna highway, get vtec, got power abit yet quite save fuel, full tank 75++ can go for 430km-550kM (try once before, no revving just slow) and idsl can go ard 550km-650km like that... not helping honda promoting their car, just tell out what i gone thru, no car is perfect, city got abit problem, i dun think vios dun have..

choices are still on the buyer.. happy buying car... cheers
