  Just don't get a toyota's manual..it sucks..heard that the gearshift is very rough..hard to engage first and reverse gears..I've seen my father driving his Kia Picanto..the gearshift seemed very smooth..

  Agreed....Vio's manual transmission sucks big time man. When learning to drive that time, always frustrate the balls outta me.

  how bout honda? If not wrong, it has one of the best gear shifts.. the honda city's for example, it has a short and precise throw..

  Nissan Sunny CVT. But honestly, the rumours are indeed true. Its FC is atrocious.

  I would suggest a Honda City i-Dsi Manual.
  
  Saves petrol too.
  
  Price also within your budget.

  if i am not wrong.. honda is into fuel economy and not that much focused on power like the past.. after the i-vtec engine came it.. say bye bye to B16B B18C.. etc..

  if u dont go for power but FC... maybe u can consider the new fiat grande punto.. fc is not bad.. quite spacious and comfort... design not bad.. got mini maserati look..
