Good morning gents. Pls, which 1.4L-1.6L, cute, cheap to maintain, city car would you recommend for a lady? It must be auto with a good AC system. I'm eyeing these (I'm open to suggestion though): 2008-2010 Kia Rio; 2008-2012 Hyundai Accent, 2008-2010 Honda City, 2006-2008 Corolla Hatchback (though this is said to be a vandals'/robbers' magnet and too expensive). Your input would be highly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

reliable vehicle ensure you change the ATF as at when due. Also the engine variant aren't as popular compared to the Civic, does mean they're not available or expensive but ensure you take care of them well

luxury for a Korope wanna be grin the B series is a bigger and improvement on the A class, I have driven A class before and I have my reservation on its acceleration and handling nothing close to a Benz if you have driven Benz before.

Reliability rating for the B class is good, I don't know about parts sha, but maintenance shouldn't be high

There's a difference in mpg rating for both cars. However, you'll get a better driving experience (better audio/ stereo, speed, comfort and handling) on the accord than you'll find on the corolla.

I'll advice you pick the i4 accord instead of the corolla.

Ensure you get a really good one and pamper the car. Run maintenance regularly and you're good to go.

You can't go wrong with the accord.

Forget the hype on the corolla. It's not worth the hype jare.

Acura TL best car there.


All are good value for money, tbh. Just depends on what you prioritize. The TL drives the best, is the rarest, and has the best equipment and technology. It's also the most expensive to maintain.
