Lancer CK2 will be a better buy in my opinion..

If you are buying the Honda City model with a CVT gearbox, check the state of it before buying. If not well maintained and CVT fluid was not replaced in a timely manner, some City models are notorious for developing the 'Honda Shudder'. As a basic test, put the car in D in a complete stop and floor the accelerator at once. The car should move without any vibration or sound.

Other than the City I guess Toyota Corolla AE110, Sprinter CE110 also fit your budget. But be cautious buying these as most of these cars are used and abused for years. Indian cars are also available for that price range but I wonder if you are looking for those.

Its and okay car, nothing really special about it. Okay on fuel, comfort, spares are not as common as the civic.

A Lancer CK2 or early year mazda bj would be a far better option for this budget.

If i were you I'd buy a 1999 Mazda Familia/323. Those are rather underrated cars but are quite decent rides. Had one in the office that had undergone severe abuse for over a decade and still held up well.

my first car was 1997 familia butterfly model. great pick up hardly gave any problems and parts were also available in Delkanda. any does not go at inflated prices like Toyota
