Honda CITY VS Honda Jazz [MERGED]

[streetracer]

Why is Honda Jazz More Expensive than Honda City?

[tidus1203]

Because it is more feature pack than a City.

[restituto]

Because it is more feature pack than a City.

Is it really the features or the global image? The Jazz/Fit is marketed in the US, Europe and Asia and some other parts of world while the City is for Asia only...(before). It was reported that the 2009 City will be introduce in Europe.

If you compare city with jazz, (not the new models which are now totally different), they are almost similar except the body which the city has more metal which I believe would also entail production cost. But still the Jazz is priced higher than the City.

[paolorenzo]

Any idea on how much the new 2009 City will be priced, relative to the newly released GE Jazz?

For price comparison purposes, I got this from Honda Leasing Thailand...

only difference is the body the city has more metal. the cost of production is the difference. at the time i bought my jazz ang explanation sakin nung agent is the rear door of the jazz is being installed in thailand. walang makina yung planta ng honda philippines to have that installed, compared with the city dito na binubuo. as per the sales rep at alabang yan.

[caloyski5]

afaik, the city is assembled here. the jazz naman, sa thailand.

the gd city and gd jazz, both 1.3l, have some differences inside and out

Hi,

im planning to buy bnew honda jazz or city 1.3(at), but im still undecided which one to buy...

here are the things i like in the 2 cars

jazz : ULTRA seats, i like sports, and i think I could use jazz seats if i want to load a bicycle someday... i also think that interior of jazz is better than the city... if city have folding seats, then i might probably buy the city...
i'm not that expert in cars, but i noticed that jazz have disc break, but city have disc(front) drum(rear).... i think disc is better? am i right?

city : i like the looks, but i hate the audio system, though ipod ready is superb... but i do listen to different radio stations from time to time, but city doesnt have presets.... backseats headroom is too low... i'm a 6 footer, and when seating straight my head and ceiling i think only have a space of 1 inch..... but no problem for driver seats since it has enough headroom for me...

I have test driven both cars, but im still undecided until now, both have the same ride but i just noticed that the suspension of city is better than jazz... but jazz have bigger side mirror.. and have a great view when driving...

also do you know what's the FC of both cars?

thanks! hoping u could help me to choose which one to buy.

[OldSchoolHack]

The Jazz should have better FC than the City since it is smaller. Also a 1.3 Jazz would match better than a 1.3 City.

Still the new City looks better than the Jazz. Parang mas bagay sa girl ang Jazz. Only my opinion though.

[CVT]

I own the previous gen Jazz 1.3L IDSi CVT. We chose it over the City then.

However, this time, I would choose the City over the Jazz any day of the week.....

i don't like either, primarily due to the costs involved. both are priced almost the same as bigger, spacier subcompacts.

if you think about it, fuel consumption is about the same as 1.5 and 1.6 vtec civics with bigger bodies. i've no idea why jazz and city models sell for the same price (sometimes higher pa) as civics in the 2nd hand market, when FC and ease of maintenance are just about similar. in fact, with jazz, you get less metal, a less torquey engine, somewhat crashy, firm rides, and before you load anything bigger than a 21 inch tv, you gotta fold down the rear seats pa...

[tuklot]

Ako naman baliktad, parang mas gusto ko yung Jazz over City.

[neondayne]

i prefer sub-compacts over a hatchback..... well it depends on the buyers taste, preference.

*voltscastillo, i want to buy a bnew car, dont want the hassle that might come up with a second hand, like engine and others, and im not a pro in cars... btw, since you have said that you dont want both cars due to costs and value for money would you recommend a better bnew AT car that have good FC and great value.

thanks for all your inputs...

actually at first im really eyeing for the jazz.... i think its funky and cool...
my dad and bro also wants the jazz for me.. but my sis likes the city for me since im too big and city is a bigger car... ang hirap talagang magisip.. hehehe

[voltscastillo]

ang sarap naman ng problema mo bro, i wish i had your dad and bro, hehehe.

seriously... my opinion is that you should always look ahead well into the future when buying a car dito sa pinas. is it big? is it stable at high speeds? will it accomodate the whole family sa out of town? is it reliable?

yung mga hatchbacks kasi for me are like neon and pink paintjobs... sure maganda ka tignan and cool right now if you get one, but in 3 years pag sawa ka na sa liit at pag-bubully ng mas malalaking kotse sa daan.... well...

best value for money at this time would be a corolla base model 1.6 automatic. wide, macho body, pwedeng iporma, reliable as a .45 revolver. tignan mo yung presyo sa casa i'm sure medyo malapit lang yung presyo nya sa 2009 city/jazz na upper spec model.

Hello guys planning to buy a car soon.

what are the pros and cons of these cars?
HONDA CITY 1.5 VS. HONDA JAZZ 1.5

In terms of
Fuel Consumption
Ride Quality
Handling
Speed/Performance
Acceleration
Noise ( Cabin Sound Insulation )
Etc.

thanks

I think mechanically, they are almost similar. The 2009 Jazz looks really hot and it has a plethora of mods and body kits which can make it look and go better. I'm a bit more conservative though and chose the 2009 City.

[CVT]

I think this time, the City has a lot of oommpphhh vs. the Jazz.....
(That is, if I were to replace our 05Jazz end of the year, which I will, most probably, I'll go get a City)....

[SIZE=3]I`d opt for the city, especially with the grey metallic ( is that the right term? ) color. The city kasi is in the luxurious side, while the jazz is on the sporty side. Pero nonetheless, I think the city is still better. [/SIZE]

[niky]

The City may handle better than before, but the Jazz still handles better and is much more practical. The City seems to have more comfortable front seats, though, but that's something you have to decide for yourself, as seating comfort is very subjective.
