05 Honda Jazz or 05 Suzuki Swift?

[yuichi]

looks- swift (mukha nga lang mini-cooper, which i don't like....walang originality)
interior- jazz
overall performance- jazz, few notch higher, but swift also good
resale value- jazz

lalo "suzuki changan" china manufacturer ng swift, they have the reputation for producing second rated cars here in china.....kaya hindi mabili swift d2 sa shenzhen...alam nila kalidad ng suzuki changan!!! IMO

Japan talaga galing yung Swift dito sa Pinas. Ilang beses ko na tinignan ang Swift and noticed na meron Japan something on the windshield.

I would have done the same thing pre, Suzuki may not be as big as Honda but I believe they make great cars with good and reliable engines. Btw pareho tayo, b4 I bought my honda Mazda 3 talaga gusto ko kaso nde kaya ng budget hehe.... Cheers

alanranch, marami na talaga akong plano sa jazz. Bibile ako ng carbon fiber hood & rear spoiler, wrap around skirts, 17's at muffler. Pero nawalan nalang talaga ako ng gana dahil sa ahente ng Honda. Napaka swerte naman ng walk-in customer nya. Hinde nagbigay ng reservation fee, tapos may auto kaagad sya. Hinde na mag-aantay. Ako mag wait pa. Kaya withdraw ko nalang 20k ko. Eh nung nag inquire ako sa Bacolod dealer, may available na isa. Sinunggaban ko na.

yuichi,
Ang suzuki Changan ba ay parang Honda Cars Philippines? Kasi dito ang HCP ay assembler lamang, galing sa iba't ibang bansa ang mga karamihan sa parts ng sasakyan, tapos siyempre may local components din.

yan di ko alam....pero tingin ko d2 lahat galing spareparts...pero japanese technology syempre. d2 kasi mura lang swift....mga starting from 70k RMB ( 500kphp).maraming auto dyan sa pinas ang mangagaling ngyon from china....lalo nung naging WTO member sila 5yrs ago. alam ko rin pati honda cars galing na d2, chevy (though buick sila d2),at ofcourse suzuki.

Holeshot, yung suzuki swift dun sa canada is Chevy Aveo based.

Suzuki Swift that are sold here are imported from Japan according to my friend who works for Suzuki Phils.

Had the chance to spot a Swift up close at the car wash today. Ganda talaga (sana lang may manual tranny *sigh*)

Medyo OT but glad you mentioned this. The other day, I was driving back from a beach trip ( had 2 sets of full scuba gear in the trunk) and this Black 1.8 (yes 1.8) Optra decides he wants to show off in the C5 going to Eastwood Area. He started about 2 car lengths ahead of me. We 'raced' in light traffic (about 9pm) for about 3-4 mins. Everytime, I would haul his car in and overtake him easily, then slow down due to light traffic ( i didnt wanna take the shoulder) and he would find a space in the traffic to go past me by a few car lengths. No problem, just downshift on the CVT and I would haul him in VERY easily again --- I could hear his engine screaming when I would go past him. Prime example: there is a long left then right hander (before it opens into a straightaway) near Market Market (Northward bound).... I was able to accelerate from the light traffic position to about 140-150 kmh here. Iwan siya by maybe 6 - 7 car lengths (no cars in between us that time to block him). Im sure he was pissed at me hahahaha. after awhile I got tired of the whole game and purposely braked in one of the long straights before a stoplight so he could catch-up. Hataw siya and of course since I was braking... he overtook me. I didnt bother to race anymore. We both knew who won hehehehe.

Sobra bagal ng mga Optra, sobra lakas pa sa gasolina. Mas mabilis pa yata yung dati namin 1.3 na corolla kaysa sa 1.6 A/T na Optra. may hatak nga ang jazz kahit yung 1.3dsi lang.

Thanks carlo for the info. Pero iba yun porma di ba? Btw, bakit sabi ng iba ay sa China raw assembled?

[carlocaraddict]

i really dont know why they are saying na galing china yung swift dito pero it might be true, though again, my friend who works as the Promotions manager in SUzuki Phils told me before the launching of the Swift here is that it will be imported CBU from Japan.

[holeshot]

carlo, kung sa China sya assembled, okay na rin. For sure naman ay mga hapon din ang nag supervise sa assembly plant.

Alam mo ba na kahit mga matatandang tao ay nagagandahan sa porma ng swift. Nakakakuha ng pansin talaga. Kanina kasi, papalabas na ako ng car wash. Eh may pinadaan muna ako na adventure. Sakay ay mga matatandang babae. Mga 55 to 60 yr old ang estimate ko. Napatingen talaga.

Raul, who misunderstood me sir. Wala ako hilig sa older or even oldest chick. What I was trying to say is that normally, older or elderly persons don't care about cars. They don't seem to appreciate good looking cars. But I was surprise to see these old ladies smiling and talking about the swift. Nothing more

pedeng 'salestalk' lang din yn, siempre iba pag japan...mas may quality kumpara sa china...but my car agent here(a local who used to work for suzuki) here told me that they(suzuki) export swift to phils. at d2 ko unang nakita yang swift na yan....mga late last year pa.

You didn't have to explain man, it was clear what you meant, otherwise I wouldn't have made the joke. Just keeping things light. :hippie:

I'm just waiting for my Swift. Suzuki had 25 units last Nov. 25 and it was sold out. Wishy washy pa kasi ako. Anyways, Dec. 10 daw there is a new shipment. Can't wait!

[baiskee]

wow! congrats ser zeagle...

test drive na yan! :D

[zeagle]

wow! congrats ser zeagle...

Thanks sir pero wala pa e. Baka maging bato hehe. I know that performance wise, it would be probably wiser to get a Vios or a Jazz. But hey, let's face it! 60% of our decision is based on looks which Swift definitely has.
