  If it is within the 3 cars name above, I would get the Rio, suitable for family car with boot behind.

  The technology have improved over the years. The engine should be ok at it has 100k mileage or 3 yrs coverage. The car itself is light and the FC should be maintain normally at around 12km/liter. It really depend on how you drive...

  Yup, agree with Lancer.
  I drive a 1.3L Hyundai Accent, Fuel Consumption abt 12.3~12.8. Depends on how u drive & where u drive... =)
  
  But on the other hand, I wish I could have wait a bit longer & get either the Liana or Vios then . Well......As i need a car urgently to ferry my baby then. So...no choice lah.....as I can get the Accent, 2 weeks after booking.

  kelisa has good fc...abt 15km/l....but it is also small in boot...need to consider if u got children and strollers...maintenance not a problem even after warranty cos of our neighbour across...besides...it is the only car under 50 k for manual...road tax only $500 per year...everything abt it is tempting...except for the ass...i mean boot

  car price minus your deposit (55k - 2k)...then divide the balance (53k) by 7 for 7 year loan (add 2.2% interest), or 10 year loan(add 2.45% interest)...u will noe each year pay hw much for the car...dun forget to add insurance, road tax, parking, petrol and servicing...brudders...correct me if i am wrong...
