    Hi there, Im new here in this forum but its almost 2 months now when i start reading in this forums and until now that i can't wait and i can't find the answers I wanna hear (or rather read :D )

    My family is planning to buy me a new car, but they want it to use it for fetching the balikbayans and they want to have a compartment or place where to put the balikbayan boxes...

    my choices are:

    Honda Jazz 1.3 - kc i like M/T ,okay lang po kaya ito kahit 1.3 kahit taga baguio po ako? at pano pag nalagyan siya ng 2 balikbayan boxes? kaya prin po kaya? kasya po ba yung mga boxes kahit hindi naka fold yung rear seats?

    Innova G MT - Masyadong malaki pero yun nga marami ring space for balikbayan boxes

    Nissan Grand Livina - Smaller than Innova


    So kapwa mga tsikoters can you please help me?

    Your best solution:

    Buy an empty balikbayan box (or two for good measure) and look for a Jazz to borrow for a couple of minutes for "fitment" tests with the empty boxes. You might be able to do the fitment test at the Honda showroom as long as you ask permission first before doing it.

    Engine-wise, it would have enough power to go up Baguio (with loaded boxes) although you might be in 1st gear in the steepest parts of the climb up.

    wow thanks for the reply...

    ive been thinking about that but i dont have any friend that has a honda jazz 2009, there's no honda showroom here in baguio, i went to honda dagupan in order to visualize the real size of the compartment, ive seen several honda jazz 2009 here in baguio, nakakahiya naman kung hihiramin ko sa hindi ko kilalang tao yung jazz nya just to measure the balikbayan boxes :D

    anyway, thanks alot... :D

    I think the Jazz can swallow a pair of balikbayan boxes. Just fold those rear seats down completely kaya yan... Worst isa lang pero since 60-40 split naman sya fold the 60 side and that should fir the balikbayan box tapos may tao pa pwedeng umupo sa 40 side.

    We were able to fetch a friend from the airport with a couple of his balikbayan boxes and carry-on luggage in our Jazz. So, we were 3 in the car (one was sitting on the second row). We just folded one of the seats in the second row and it gave more than enough room to accomodate his stuffs. Cool!
