go for facelifted Mobilio

avanza has the ground clearance of BRV or ecosport but is narrower and shorter than both mobilio and ertiga. rear wheel drive has its advantages but is less fuel-efficient than FWD. the avanzas that are priced competitively w/ mobilio have just 1.3 engines while the mobilio has 1.5

ertiga and mobilio have similar size and ground clearance but while mobilio is priced a bit higher, it has more powerful engine.

as for exterior styling i'd have to give it to ertiga. avanza is downright ugly. mobilio's front has improved a lot since the facelift

reliability. you can't go wrong w/ honda. cant say the same w/ the daihatsu avanza or the maruti ertiga but i'm sure they have pretty good reliability too, just not up to honda standards

take note what i said only makes sense for the M/T versions coz that's what i'm researching on right now
