help! Jazz 1.3 AT or Swift AT?

[renzo_d10]

The Yaris is cheap. Believe me. And with it's engine of 1.5L it's definitely worth it. Or atleast, worth considering. ;) It won't let you down on it's interior space ... somewhat comparable with the Jazz.

The Mazda 2 is okay. The exterior is BETTER in person than in pictures ... believe me. Check out a mazda dealership when you're free.

The Jazz 1.5L is nice, too. It's additional features for 60k is DEFINITELY worth it. But that really depends on your budget, since that 840k doesn't stop. It increases as the insurance/lto reg. etc. is included.

Toyota Yaris 1.5L

Manual - P 731,000
Automatic - P 766,000

Mazda 2 1.5L(?)

Automatic - P 795,000

Honda Jazz 1.5L

Automatic - P 840,000

Honda Jazz 1.3L

Manual - P 732,000
Automatic - P 772,000

ETO ADDITIONAL PAMPAGULO ULIT. Mahal yung 1.5L Honda Jazz eh

Honda City 1.5L ( E )

Automatic - P 811,000

NOW AVAILABLE IN TAFETTA WHITE ;)

Jazz 1.3 S AT - PhP 772,000
Jazz 1.5 V AT - PhP 832,000

Yaris 1.5 AT - PhP 766,000

TW City E. FTW!

Slash a further P30,000 on the Yaris A/T, may dealer discount yan... So mga P733,000 na lang sya. Not the most exciting choice but definitely the most practical and value oriented one...

[eunice*59]

^ yes you're right. The Yaris is now looking a bit more attractive

welcome to the toyota family

anyways, kaya ginagawang taxi ng mga altis and vios, i think, they are the most practical units out there, considering the good fuel consumption, low maintenance(mura spare parts, dame kasing chop chop), pogi din, and most of all, tradition(kahit yung mga "viva" cars on 19kopong kopong na pinapasabog at mga ginagawang taxi na nakikita ko sa movies, karamihan old school na toyota eh). anung connect? hehehe sori OT.

go with the flow of your blood through your heart. lapit na mag Feb.

Attractive yung red na yaris at yung light blue.

Pero kung nahihirapan kang mamili, pwede naman sigurong lahat bilhin mo.

[Jecoism]

Was in the same dilemma last month, but opted to get the Jazz 1.5. The 60k difference from the 1.3, like most said, is really really worth it.

Although the Yaris is the most practical among the choices, its exterior is not as exciting as the jazz and the mazda 2 for me. Let's admit that we young people value the looks more actually. :D

I've heard of the mazda 2 last month but I've always wanted a jazz even when I was a kid so I decided to get one already.

My agent informed me of the release of the yellow colored jazz this month so if I were you, I'd get one of those. Sure eye candy at pang babae talaga.

[tidus1203]

^^ Yeah Mazda 2 is worth considering too. But I`m not sure about the price. 800k+ na yata yan

Oh btw ms. eunice. Have you checked the yaris as well ? The price of the 1.5L yaris is close with the 1.3S Jazz.

Mas mura pa nga yung 1.5L na Yaris sa 1.3L na Jazz, ganda pa ng low end torque ng Yaris for its class. Talong talo lang talaga sa cargo space pero sa passenger space quits lang ang Yaris and Jazz. Being a Civic FD owner I always didn't liked Honda's lack of torque in the low end of the rev range. Spoiled na kasi ako sa Santa Fe eh torque monster at low revs...

[ghosthunter]

* Pol 3 - thank you for sharing your firsthand experience in owning a Jazz. Even if it's an older model, I'm sure the technology is pretty much the same diba? I'm still after good fuel consumption.

Not really. In the case of the Jazz (old and new), they use totally different transmission systems. The old one had problems of early failure. The conventional tranny used in the new model is supposed to "cure" the problem.

Unfortunately the extra-ordinary fuel mileage will now be ordinary.

[tidus1203]

Hahaha right! Now you won't see those 2nd gen Jazzes appearing on Petron Xtra Unleaded commercials...

[renzo_d10]

My agent informed me of the release of the yellow colored jazz this month so if I were you, I'd get one of those. Sure eye candy at pang babae talaga.

I've seen a brand-new yellow honda jazz 1st week last month, I think. You're agent might be mistaken. Or baka naman, may ibang dealers na meron na. hehe

Really? Baka nga. Hehe pero mas gusto ko pa din yung polished metal in between being formal and being rugged. Oops OT na.

Anyway Jazz pa din ako, unless you like the big grin sa face ng mazda 2. hehe.

* renzo_d10 - naku, if money really wasn't an issue I'd buy a 5 dr Subaru, Focus or 1 series. Ang cute cute ng hatch OT, panibagong VS. thread nanaman yan

* aejhayl17 - I will follow it and kung aling car ang may "lukso ng dugo" yun ang bilhin ko. :loveshower:

* Jecoism - wow 1.5L drool :drool: the SA didn't show me the yellow one. I'll check it out nga tomorrow.

I cancelled my test drive today since BF can't accompany me :imbey1:

[eunice*59]

I have a new question.

Since I intend to pay in cash for a bnew car, how much discount will I get? Or Should I demand for at least 30-40k off the SRP? thanks in advance guys!

With honda, you'd be a lotto winner if they ever give you discounts. They don't give discounts as far as I know since I was in your same shoes when I was shopping around for a brand new car to be paid in cash.

Toyota game me 50k discount for my yaris.

Don't know for mazda.

[eunice*59]

Oh wow, that's a huge discount! Hmmm confused all the more...

[niwde11]

discounts are usually given pag ilang taon na yung kotse for a partcular model. for example if a particular model of jazz came out last year, there is a possibility na me discount na yan today or the the years to come depending on the demand.
common pattern, pag me stock usually me discounts. pag me waiting period(huge demand) walang discounts. in other words depende sa market.

btt, for me, i'll get the jazz 1.5 AT. you can get the designers bag next year.

[aejhayl17]

depende din sa sales agent na kaharap mu, if mabango lang magsalita pero kuripot sa discount, hanap ka ibang kausap, malamang maging drawing na lang ang discount mu ms.eunice.

madalas and malaki magbigay ng discount ang mga toyota dealeships, same with my altis 5yrs ago, my mom got a 50k off its srp yet it is for installment/mortgage. the only downside is, the sales rep we were dealing with was a family friend, so we get most of the freebies and good after sales services.

[eggman]

Mahal ng Jazz 1.3 liter,yung Yaris eh its kinda dull IMHO..

Mag Suzuki Swift ka nalang.
