  Automotive engineering had advance to the point where there is not much diff in reliability so no need to worry on that score... just pick the one that looks good to you and within your budget. Avoid heavy ones since you worry about consumption. Just because higher engine capacity does not mean higher consumprion... eh...

  actualli, if ur budget is low, u shd consider how much u need e car instead. is it realli something dat die die must haf? cos car, no matter how small, will take some financial stability to maintain. do mull over it ya..
  
  but if u realli dun care, go toyota!!

  Best is don't buy.
  
  If really need, get Lancer basic manual 48.5k - fuel ok, looks sporty, handling ok, reliability ok, price good (I am driving one)
  
  My next choice is Rio 1.4m 43K. Looks nice but price too close to jap cars
  
  Proton savvy - i don't like its looks

  If you like tom yam, then get vios. But be prepared to get cramp at the rear seats.
  
  Vios has good FC and good pickup but handling and built quality so so only. Not a bad car from point A to B. Good for city driving.
  
  Though budget is important but no point getting a car that can meet your budget but can't meet your needs. You'll regret getting it later.
  
  As your thread implies, don't think you have 50k cash, right? If not, you won't need to post your thread here.

  limited budget, low FC...i think what has been replied so far only the Vios (thai made) suits u.
  
  else, msian made (no no) and korean made (FC high) are not what u should be looking at. if not u might like to go for hybrids which is also out of your budget...
  
  pls think abt maintenance (incl. mthly installments, petrol cost n repairs), insurance, road tax etc b4 u commit.

  why dont you consider a 2nd hand car?
  
  1~2 years old japanese car is about $30~$40k, you lose much less when you sell them away.
  
  Unless you're considering driving the car for more then 5years..then get a new car

  I will get a good FC 2nd hand car for below $25k cash.
  
  You have different priority, so getting a brand new car may be a better option. $50k is a reasonable budget.
