Hope you guys here can help me out!
1. Brand - Any non-local brand
2. Budget - 40k-60k, the lower the better
3. New/Used/Unreg - Used
4. Specs - Due to a recent adventure, safety is of the utmost importance now. Might not be so lucky next time. MUST have ESC/VSA/etc, and minimum of 2 airbags
5. Transmission - Will get stuck in jams very frequently, so auto.
6. NA or FI - no preference
7. Type - Sedan, preferably

Can anyone suggest cars which fall under these conditions? I initially wanted the 2009 Honda City, but changed my mind when I realised only the later versions have VSC Do correct me if I am wrong though. I HOPE I am wrong. My preference - Safety first > Looks + Fuel economy + Reliability > Driving pleasure. Is my budget too low? I do know that the Forte 1.6SX has VSC, but my friend already has it and I am not really keen on getting the same one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply!

Thank you so much for the suggestion, it looks great! 6 airbags will definitely do some research about the picanto thanks again!
