400K-800K depending on the year model. 2 yr old model could fetch around 800+/-K negotiable.

06-to some 08 model could reach 400-450K.

One shouldn't expect "the best ride" in the subcompact category.. well.. unless it's track then maybe a stripped Mazda2 will bring you joy.

If you want to shield your grandma from the harsh environment of the country, start looking at secondhand Toyota Camrys. The 1995 version should sell at a pretty steep discount by now.. and it's plush as ****. It's like riding with pillows on your ass.

My lola goes by quite well with a 2006 Camry 2.4V for her daily pasyal (with over 100,000 pasyal kms logged already).

A brand new Altis starts at less than 800K with discounts AFAIK. If you're looking at the subcompact category for brand new, I think the Almera is interesting to check out also.

Check out those deals offered in the malls for Toyota vehicles and within dealerships. I browsed thru the prices and the new Vios 1.5G (MT or AT) is about the same price as the Altis 1.6G (MT or AT). The Altis is even offered at a lower DP than the new Vios. The Altis 1.6V is also offered at a discount so if this model is within the same range as a TOTL Vios, it will be a much better option.

Lots of replies thank you! Yes the practical choice, in my case, may be the altis but i just find it outdated. I also only want brand new so the grandia is out of the picture. Its really me wholl mostly use it but ill often bring my mother places
I recently rode in an almera taxi and the ride was satisfactory with huge backseat legroom.
I will look into the suggestions salamat

How about an Elantra 1.6L or the Lancer EX 1.6L? They are priced about the same as the TOTL subcompacts.

i'm sorry... but what i meant was that someone already suggested before, that a high end vios and lower end altis were in the same price range.. but i can't remember who said it..
