Hi there, We're looking to buy a small(ish) 1.5L runaround for around $5k. Should we be focused more on the age of the car or the mileage when all other factors are equal? We are currently looking at either a Toyota IST, a Mitsubishi Colt or a Nissan Tiida. Which of these would you rate the highest in terms of reliability and are there any others we should consider?
