I suggest you test drive all three. But I'll share my opinion on your top 3 options by Rank:

Top pick HONDA JAZZ - if you want space, versatility matched with good looks and good Fuel Economy, Nothing beats the Jazz. It can seat 5 comfortably and should you need to haul in balikbayan boxes, bikes or whatever, just flip the seats. The only drawbacks to the Jazz are the high price (800K i think) and the availability. I heard there's a long line for the 2011 Jazz so be prepared to wait for atleast a month. Resale Value is pretty good also.


Runner-up: Honda City - is always a solid choice, it's comfy, decent Fuel Economy and resale value is usually high. But I feel if you add a couple more thousands, you can get the Jazz which offers more.

Last place will be Hyundai Accent - is still a solid car, especially the newly launched Accent. Whats great is the value for money. It's affordable compared to the Honda siblings. space is enough for your everyday trips and fuel economy is also good. Though the resale value might be a bit lower than the hondas.

Best thing to do is test drive all! =D good luck!
