Hi,
I am looking to buy a reliable sub compact car for daily commute in Auckland using the motorway. I will be driving about 15000Kms per year approximately . I have short listed Suzuki Swift, Toyota Yaris, Toyota Aqua, Nissan Note and Mitsubishi Mirage. All these models are around year 2014. Which of these would provide best fuel economy with good reliability in your opinion?
Thanks!

Hi there,
The Aqua is a hybrid and so would be potentially the most fuel efficient.
They are all Japanese vehicles and so traditionally found to be reliable, and potentially domestic imports and so there really is no detailed specs and safety information easily available. I recommend buying a vehicle with stability control (ESC) and has the best ANCAP or UCSR safety score as your budget allows. https://rightcar.govt.nz/ucsr.html?group=Light
