**darkaeon** · January 20th, 2010 05:50 AM

A new i10 cost around 478K while a 2nd hand (pimped) Jazz 2005 to 2006 model cost around 450-500k...
Help me decide mga sir...

Are the cars manual or automatic?

I will get the i10. Good for the seller but as a buyer the 1st gen Jazz has too high a resale value and lacks value for money since its already 4-5 years yet only P200K was shaven off the brand new price.

In my opinion, assuming no defects/problems with the Jazz (including the known CVT tranny issue), the Jazz is still a good buy when compared to the Hyundai i10.

Interior flexibility is about the same in both cars. The only issue would be the engine and tranny.

The i10 only have a 1.1L and 1.2L petrol engine options as compared to the 1.3L and 1.5L engine options for the Honda Jazz.

Note: the price given by the TS for the i10 is the base model i10 1.1L M/T (no airbag).

The issue with the i10 M/T tranny is the rubbery feel of the shifter. The Honda 1.3L M/T shifter is more precise in feel.

considering the jazz is still in good condition, i would go for it for the sole reason that it is bigger inside.

Check the Jazz for rust spots first - it'll likely sprout in the doors and door sills. The rust can get there even if the owner was very careful. Blame Honda's ridiculously thin paint for that. Small rust spots (i.e. the size of a nail's head) are okay, but I've also seen Jazzes with larger areas of corrosion.

Just telling you what you should look out for.

The i10 ain't bad if you have no issues with its size.

If it's a manual transmission Jazz 1.5 and there are no corrosion issues or others (like "kalampag") that you'll need to address... go for it. Slightly wider than the i10, much bigger rear seat, much more practical, lots of fun to drive.

A 1.3 MT, if the price is good, still go.

If it's a CVT, test-drive it and check the condition/mileage of the transmission. It helps if it has documentation proving they've done the recall work regarding the transmission fluid. We've already passed up on one secondhand Honda CVT due to transmission slippage.

Still, I wouldn't get a CVT secondhand over a brand new i10 with warranty unless it had 30k kms on it or less. Well... even then... having a warranty goes a long way to assuring problem free ownership. And the i10 is a good car, very solid feeling interior, good suspension for a minicar, good handling and a peppy engine.

And it looks good, too.

maybe the mods have something to do with the price. pimped out daw eh :D

there's too few details on the jazz

Woah! I was overwhelmed with your answers mga boss.
Thank you sa mga nag-bigay ng inputs nila...
I want the MT i10 or Jazz... I never wanted the automatic coz i've heard na mahal ang maintenance ng AT pag napabayaan...

My first choice was the Hyundai i10 but after reading several reviews about it... it some some safety issues like the brakes are not that good and the entry level model doesn't have airbags.
I checked the 2005-2006 Jazz and they have dual airbags and some of them comes with disc brakes and i believe they are more fuel efficient than the i10's... please correct me if im wrong...

How about a manual Toyota Yaris 2007 model... someone selling it for about P489k... is that car better than Jazz or i10? Sorry kung may nadagdag... First time ko po kasi magkkotse eh and ayoko mag-sisi sa huli...

Thanks!

Yup! that is one of my reasons as well why my heart is broken in two with those two cars...

I like the Jazz because it is slightly bigger and has more space at the back...
The i10 is cute and of course brandnew, Haayyy...

Sir Niky, how about a Jazz with 30k+ or 40k milleage, is that not good to buy?
My other issue with the i10 is its tall behind.
Its like if I steer in a tight curve eh tataob sya...
