Hi Adam,
Toyota Vitz, IST, Allex, Runx + Mazda Demio or Axella are all great cars that should be around this price range.

Hi Cade,

Hơw's about Honda Fit? I read something about CVT problem. What kind of cars above are using conventional transmission?

Thanks,
Adam

Honda Fit's are reported to have complaints about the transmission, which is why I didn't mention it.
The vehicles listed either have normal transmissions or are not reported to have common issues with their cvt's.

Hi there,
They all seem to be pretty good choices, it will be up to you to compare interior design and vehicle functionality as to which you prefer.
The Airwave has a CVT, so may need the servicing checked or start clutch reset/replaced much like the Honda Fit.

Hi there,

What do you think about toyota ractis 1.5 (2008) 96000 km 2WD? Any problems of this model? I cannot find any review of this model....

Thanks,

Hi there,
The Ractis seems to be a fairly good car, just like pretty much all their product. It is also a Japanese domestic import and so there will be no review or model information available.
