if you drive a tidda on a regular basis on the Sir Solomon Hochoy highway at 80 Km/hr and big trucks passing you at over 100 Km/hr , you will not think it is the dumbest argument. You can actually feel your vehicle move, but my 323 sits alot better on the road

I used to drive a first generation Accent on the SHH on a daily basis for many years and never felt uncomfortable when trucks used to pass me.

That does not really matter to me as my current car takes premium fuel. I am accustomed to the cost of using this grade of fuel.

In your price range (approx $160K) there are a few options.
Honda City CNG
Kia Rio
Mitsubishi Lancer (Cash)
Nissan Versa
Suzuki Swift (Auto)
Suzuki Ciaz
Toyota Yaris

Your first step should be to get a test drive of all the listed vehicles. What may be the most economical might drive like toots. Additionally, when checking out the vehicles, find out which uses Super as well. From this you can narrow the list considerably!

Secondly, if you have the cash at hand, the best option will be the Lancer. It is a steal for the price!

Thirdly, if you are considering resale; Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda (Good resale)
Kia. Suzuki (Poor resale)

Fourthly, if you are doing A LOT of driving, the savings of CNG will be great. Otherwise, super will be acceptable.

After these steps, you should be down to about 3 cars. Pick the one YOU LIKE and WANT TO DRIVE. Because after all the gas savings, resale, "safest buy", etc... You will be the person owning it for at least 5 years. It should make you feel happy for that time.
