Hi there,
My picks based on reliability, popularity, price and km's that may be worth considering.
2011 Honda Jazz, 2011 Suzuki Swift, 2011 Mazda 2/ Demio, 2009 Mazda Axela, 2013 Nissan Note. These vehicles vary in specification, but all have pretty good safety items and fuel economy. A good reference for km's would be to allow around 10,000-15,000km of travel a year. So a 4 year old vehicle should have 40,000-60,000 km's on the clock.
