So I’m struggling to narrow the list as I’m looking into buying a good second hand car. My budget is R120 000 and maximum 100km. Obviously with my budget I don’t think I can get a newer model but at least 2015 going up. Safety and realiabilty is a big thing for me as it’s a first car.

Honda Brio hatch 1.2
Hyundai i10
Toyota aygo
Suzuki swift hatch

Yaris, Kia Rio, Hyundai i20 and Honda Jazz, I know, they are not too big.

A car is a tool that goes far beyond just taking you from point A to B, it always help to have a decently sized car.

Agree with this. the notch up in space/safety/features will most likely make you keep it even longer.

Other than that all very solid choices.

one thing to note, KIA/Hyundai has unbeatable factory warranty durations.
 
120k and 2015 model.. the hondnaai/kia warranty wont matter as he will struggle to get a good condition one in that price range that still has a year or 2 left on the warranty.

..and the newer i20's only has 2 airbags regardless of spec which is rather bad. (the old pre 2012 models had more). Latest style ones has more but way out of his budget
 
I am sure for your R120 000 budget, you can get a decent clean i20 with low mileage year 2012-2015

Looks like you did your research . This is a solid list of reliable cars so i dont think you can go wrong with either of these brands .
