Buying a new car

**niky** · October 30th, 2008 12:40 PM

Hmmm... the Civic's only issue is the hard seats... the Jazz is better (because the seats are shaped better), but the foam is still on the stiff side...

The Corolla is a very, very, VERY comfortable car, in terms of both seating and ride. It's one of the few new cars that rides better than the Mazda3 (which has one of the more supple rides in the segment)... only issues are the horrid steering and the weird front footwell... also, the cabin just ain't as appealing as the Mazda3.

The Swift is nice, but it's a toy. The rear seat isn't worth mentioning. But if you don't have kids... hmmmm...

The 1.3 Jazz is worth a long, hard, look. Nice new car, good fuel efficiency, spacious, good looks. Even if you're on a gas card, if there's a chance of inheriting the car from the company in the long run, or if you will use to car on personal trips, that counts for something. ;)

Take the New Honda Jazz for a test drive. Add a little more to your budget for a 1.5L. If you can't, the 1.3L is OK. If you have no children yet, it'll be perfect for you and your wife. Great drive, good ride tons of load space due to the 'U.L.T.R.' seats and sips fuel. Bit of a squeeze if you have children and a yaya.

Since most of your officemates got Mazda 3s already, you'll stand out with the Jazz

Happy hunting!
