Please help me decide JAZZ 1.5 VS ELANTRA 1.6 AT VS LANCER EX1.6 EX?

[TeraBoy]

Guys,

I am planning to buy my first brand new car in the next 2 months. I am still undecided between Honda Jazz 1.5V / Elantra 1.6 AT / Lancer EX 1.6 AT. Lahat kasi magand for me.
I will really appreciate and respect all your comments on what car is the best for me based on the aspects below. I hope you could help me out here.

Aesthetics
Fuel Consumption
Comfort & Safety
Durability & Maintenance (Parts)
Performance


By the way kakasal ko lang. I have no kids yet. I am an IT consultant and will use this car specially pag night shift lang ako and weekend dates with wifey. Gusto ko din try mga long drives. I am living in San Pedro Laguna and my office is at BGC. I am 27 years old kaya gusto ko ng car that is fun to drive at di mag sasawa after 5 yrs.

My first choice is JAZZ1.5V (Thai) pero ang ganda din kasi talaga nung 2 kaya naguguluhan ako. Hirap mamili. Mukang exciting din kasi yung paddleshift. :-)

Add ko lang din kung ano ba mas maraming available aftermarket accessories pamporma between the 3 cars?

So far Jazz pa lang na visit ko sa showroom. Very spacious and it has 4 disc breaks and 4 speakers but lack sa electronic features like audio controls on steering wheel, auto fold ng side mirrors and bluetooth para maging hands free while using my phone. I'll try to visit Hyundai and Mitsubishi at Alabang this Saturday.

Naka sked na din ako mag testdrive ng Jazz this saturday.

Pasok ang jazz sa halos lahat ng criteria mo pero IMO pang binata siya. I'd go with the Elantra if I were you. spacious sa loob mas comfortable tsaka no worries in the next 5 years kase 5 years warranty :D Tsaka believe me, you'll need the trunk space kapag nagkaanak ka ;) Sa tingin ko mas safe din highway since galing ka palagi ng laguna.

As for the lancer, ok din siya kaya lang due na for a model change in the next 2 or 3 years.

Jazz nalang sir since yun nman talaga gusto mo. Pero yung elantra magandang sasakyan din and value for money tlaga. Tapos fit pa sa byahe mo lagi ka slex. Sulit yung speed tranny nya

[Altis6453]

I'd go with the Lancer EX A/T.

More car for the same money you'd be shelling out for the Jazz. In any case, you won't go wrong with any of the cars in your short list. Have you done a test drive for all?

[spotdog11]

I would go with the jazz. It's the perfect sporty car which is also very spacious for a family car. It's space is even comparable to compact suvs. I would also think that it would be the quickest among the three cars you mentioned since it would be the lightest.

Just to mention the FC of the Lancer EX 1.6L AT... on my test drive, I got between 10 to 11km/L on my lead foot driving from Nasugbu to Manila. Only expressway taken during that drive was CAVITEX.

Super economy driving with the same car on the same road got us between 14km/L to 17km/L.

[basti08]

I'd go for the Lancer EX.

16" mags, dual airbags, disc brakes (f/r), fancy HU, IRS (advantage over the Elantra and Jazz) and great styling.

[rambo149]

lancer ex

mags, tint, side skirts, front chin OK na OK na

[dct]

if your top choice is jazz. then that will be ok. pasok lahat sa requirements mo. but for me, mas sulit bilhin ang lancer with its features

That is great FC sir. I can only imagine what the M/T variant FC would reach.

[randyps123]

Why not wait for the new focus sir para lang may comparison. Maganda yung hatch. Maganda din elantra pero doubtful ang after sales. Pero among the 3 ill pick the lancer the jazz is too girly for me

[macstar1]

I'm happy with my Elantra 1.8GLS
If your priority is space and practicality, I'd say Elantra 1.6

But if you're after sportiness/handling and old-school porma, Jazz or Lancer
If tuning is in the horizon, go for Lancer

for me:

1. jazz
2. lancer
3. elantra

i agree, kung 1.8 elantra yung isa sa mga choices mo, no brainer, go for elantra

[TeraBoy]

Wow ang gaganda ng feedback nyo guys. I was surprised with the FC review on the lancer. I've read almost all comments on the lancer thread but there are no current reviews regarding FC, performance and suspension on EX 1.6 variant. I also noticed that mostly GTA variants ang nasa streets. I love the blue color of lancer ex (masculine talaga) and the HU kasi touchscreen with bluetooth pa. I just dont know kung mabigat bang dalhin ang lancer because of its body.

Sa Elantra naman, super swabe looks. Tama di nga sya pang binata kasi for me elegant talaga ang Elantra parang manager ang dating. May shift tronic ba elantra?
Sayang kung may budget pa ako I'll get 1.8 model kaso sagad na ako sa 888K ng 1.6AT. Natapos ko na nga din pala reviews sa Elantra. Ok nmn magaganda ang comments except for some na minor lang naman.

Hmmm... Pag 5 years warranty ba kasama parts and service? matagtag ba elantra? nabasa ko kasi sa elantra thread medyo di maganda suspension. Ano kaya mas matagtag JAZZ or Elantra?

Sa lancer naman, tama ka parang matagal na yung design ng model na yun. Baka nga magpalit na. Thanks!

Wow! Sa Elantra nabasa ko 12-13K/L lang. mas matipid pala yung Lancer. musta nmn sir yung comfort and performance ng engine while cruising from NAsugbu to Manila? Di ba matagtag and feeling mabigat?

[jegger]

huli ka TeraBoy! hahahaha! for me i'd go with elantra 1.6 A/T. With a 6speed trasnsmission tingin ko tipid nito. With lancer haven't tried it pero parang mashadong bare for me. So Jazz wala ako masabi maganda talaga pero as what others said pang binata. For me as what i've told you before, the practical choice is the elantra then 17's or 18's ok na! hehehe!

I haven't finished writing my article on the Lancer 1.6L test drive ... (mental note: gotta finish writing it quick!).

if you will avail of auto loan, yung P70k difference ng 1.6L at 1.8L is just over P1k/month pero kapalit ay 16" rims, fog lamps, side repeater, better HU, more engine power, split folding rear seats, leather covered steering wheel, adjustable rear headrests, all wheel disc brakes, steering wheel mounted audio controls
