Hi everyone. I am new to this forum. I am looking to buy a used car for home used around 5 million. My requirements are

Fuel efficient

Not sedan type (for Lady use)
Automatic
Maintenance cost 
Availability of good spare parts

If I go for Honda N wgn Turbo or non turbo model , which one is best? What is the best option from above mentioned cars?

Kei cars are for city use..so anything like hill climbs, highway drives, fully loads, the car is going ot be sluggish especially as it reaches anything about 40 kmph (kei cars have a lot of torque at low revs but as the speed picks up it is very lethargic). So..if you are going to buy a kei car..try to go for the turbo variant. They are much nicer to drive and a little bit more oomphy than the non-turbo variants. 

When buying a kei car..check the engine very very well. Kei car engines get rev'd the hell out of it so most of them are pretty worn out. So check the engine, turbo unit, etc...and the gearbox.

Now..out of the cars you have listed the N Wgn is the nicer car. The interior feels a lot more refined than the other two cars. Especially if you get a high-grade one. The second nicer car would be the Ek Wagon and the Wagon R being the lowest on the refinement scale (it feels very plasticy and basic and cheap).

Performance wise...they are all more or less the same although the Wagon Rs hybrid system can make it a tad more economical. Not by much though.

Since Wagon Rs are more common you would probably find parts for it much easily.

Which car would be more reliable depends on the condition of the car you are looking at so no one can give a definitive answer.
