1.3 jazz vs. 1.5 jazz

[trejoe]

can anyone help me in deciding which is better?
very confused. dont know how to decide. any difference besides the obvious power? how about suspension?

If it's going to be your primary car, 1.5, if secondary car, 1.3.

[trejoe]

why would it being primary or secondary matter? just curious.

[Bry]

Personally lang ha, kung primary car ko, gusto ko yung merong konting oomph. Pag secondary car naman, I'd rather have one that puts out very good mileage.

if your gonna use it day 2 day and its your only car-- i would go for the 1.5 CVT but matipid naman siya still your gona get hi km/l but mas matipid ang 1.3CVT but you lack the power when puno parati ang kotse mo... both have the same identical body.. suspension... interior.... chassis.. engine lng talaga magkaiba... but if extra car mo lang siya, get the 1.3CVT.. mas matipid ang CVT kesa M/T.... iv driven one and talagang matipid ang CVT

1.5 CVT talaga ang best combination. However, if budget is your consideration, 1.3 manual or CVT na lang.

I test drove both 1.3 and 1.5.. i ended up buying the 1.5 CVT.. and its my favorite car.. Kulang yung power ng 1.3... My km/l in the vtec is not that far away 11-12 km/l as to 14-15 km/l city driving.

Highway naman..
i regulary get 23 - 25 km/l. . (Tagaytay, Carmona, Batangas runs)

In my opinion it was a very similar experience I had with our 1.3 except na vtec yung test car.

[trejoe]

ive read that article before and it mentions a difference in the suspension between the two.

But the point is that ganyan yung experience ko with our Jazz. He wrote it precisely how I experienced it, especially yung little details like the CVT, how it downshifts, etc.

Kung puro city ka lang, 1.3 na lang. Mas ok yung 1.5 sa highway. Mahina mag overtake yung 1.3 unless talagang sumisigaw na talaga yung makina. Yung vtec naman basta keep it below the vtec point, matipid din siya. The primary advantage of the vtec is power when you need it, among other cosmetic/accessory perks over the 1.3.
