2nd Hand Cars: Honda Jazz or Swift?

**myk384** · December 23rd, 2010 06:39 PM

Honda Jazz, bar none. It wins here due to its interior flexibility, fuel efficiency, parts availability (against the Swift but throw in the Yaris and thats a different story), and coolness. If you're considering the Jazz, be careful of the ones that wear license plates that start with "B" and wearing the Fit badge. A local unit is much more better.

The Swift is ok as long as you would sacrifice a firm ride, small backseat for your potential passengers (are you always going out?), the need for premium fuel, servicing for Suzukis, and interior is not that flexible as the Jazz.

And before the argument heats up and Jazz fans starts to bash me, when I say girlish .. I'm basing it on the vehicle's stock form. Of course, who would actually think that a lady drives a spooned honda or a mugen-themed Jazz ?

You're a student. Who needs space ? If your friends need someone to ride on .. hitch two of them, leave the rest behind.

I've heard that Suzuki casa sucks, now that's something you should think about ..

Yeah, I heard that some drivers refer Jazz as a 'Girl' car unless you have modified its looks.

Well, thanks for the info.

Jazz 2005
-CVT tranny best for fuel economy
-CVT tranny known to be 'fragile"
-rear seats not comfy for long drives (not enough cushioning)
-rear seats only almost folds flat

Jazz 2009
-slightly bigger/longer
-more comfy rear seats
-uses conventional A/T tranny
-rear seats folds fully flat
-some have issues with front quarter window visibility

Newbie ako pagdating sa checking ng condition ng 2nd hand cars. Need to test drive it. Hehe. Natakot ako nung bumili tatay ko ng sasakyan complete yung parts nya pati maganda yung condition pero nung naihand over samen sira carb tsaka napalitan na ng mga tires.

pictures can be deceiving. take a look at the car if its really fresh.

matagal na ko naghahanap ng 2nd hand unit. ganda sa pictures pero pagdating mo, isa lang masasabi mo... "ngek!"

o ya, avoid buy and sell pips, sarap batukan ng mga ito. kung matinik ka tumingin, may nakitang nakatagong leak, etc., hihiritan ka... "2nd hand binibili niyo, hindi brandnew".
