best compact car!

**blee728** · February 23rd, 2010 09:40 AM

my sister and i are having a hard time choosing which small car to buy:

(M/T)
honda jazz (pricey)
hyundai getz (mejo di magandang interior)
hyundai i10 (uber small)
honda city (not that small anymore)

gusto sana namin yung maliit lang para mas madali ipark sa school. tsaka mas cute yata pag maliit lang yung car namin dalawa since we're young naman :D

suggestions po?

The Jazz and City (assuming current models) aren't that small.

I would suggest the Hyundai i10 as a good choice. My only complaint is the rubbery feel of the M/T transmission shifter.

check out the new mazda 2.

other choices include the yaris and the swift.

If you can put up with the small rear seat, the i10 is the best car for 500k or under. Quality and refinement are far and away much better than most of the competition.

The Getz is the best value for money from amongst the major manufacturers, since the 1.1 can be had for supermini money, even though the cabin space isn't much less than the Honda/Toyota Jazz/Yaris. It's not as nice as the i10, but it's much bigger inside.

If you're going for cars around 700+... the Jazz and Mazda2 are amongst the top choices. The Yaris is better value for money due to the discounts, though.

Chevy Spark.

It's a chevrolet.

I hope that almost everyone knows what I mean.

Yaris, yes it's pretty cheap for a 1.5L hatch. Toyota is offering great discounts too.

Swift, some say it has this classic look that still makes the Swift stunning despite it's old look.

If I could suggest another, it would be the Suzuki Celerio. I like the design, it's just simple and cute.

Is it the price? parts availability or just the brand?

*TS
Maganda ang Honda City and Mazda2. If you can wait for it, Ford Fiesta.

i just saw a Mazda 2 at school a while ago and it does look good!:D but they only have in A/T and it is quite pricey. when is the Ford Fiesta coming out?

Yun nga rin po kasi sabi ng dad ko if we want the jazz, he might just get us the city instead since it's cheaper and bigger. Pero as much as possible i want a small car kasi the car i drive now is a midsize sedan and the gas consumption is killing me.

Sorry po pero ano po yung 'rubbery' feel?

You can look at the Suzuki Celerio. It has a 1.0L engine and seats four people. The list price is P528K. I have driven it in the M/T version. It might not be the fastest thing on the road but it handles well and it is rather cute.

The interior surprisingly feels not as bare as in the Suzuki Alto.

The "feel" in the M/T shifter should be "solid". The rubbery context refers to the feel being made of rubber bands. If you get to drive more cars, you'll know what I mean.
