Since you've already narrowed down your options to just these two, just pick whatever's more attractive to you. At the end of the day, it's your decision, your money.
The 2 cars are very similar and it's just a matter of taste and preference. The Jazz has the versatility of a hatchback, while the City has the benefit of a separate trunk. Ride comfort and passenger space are similar, resale value is slightly better for the Jazz (bec it's also more expensive), while looks are 100% subjective.
Take note that 99% of forumers here in Tsikot are guys, so our tastes and preferences might be different from yours. And besides, you shouldn't be basing your final decision on the recommendation of faceless forumers.

March 23rd, 2015 08:34 AM #2I haven't had a car with a traditional trunk for more than 6 years. All my cars since have been crossovers, wagons, suvs, vans or hatchbacks. I never once missed having the utility of a trunk. In fact the hatchback style is much more useful on a daily basis for me. I don't see myself buying a sedan again.
The rear legroom of the jazz is amazing. Better than that of the new honda accord. And yes, that's a stated fact by honda themselves. The packaging is just a marvel of engineering and planning.
Drive wise the Jazz accelerates a smidgen faster and its easier to maneuver and park. Interior room and versatility there is no contest. The jazz wins hands down. I wouldn't even compare the interior to a fiesta..... the ford is so much smaller. I'm a particular fan of this car and have backed up my comments by being an owner of all three generations of the Jazz.

One of the reasons why we gave up our Jazz is that it did not have a cover for the luggage at the back...
And so,- a couple of laptops et al would always be a concern for wifey and myself, from office to mall/restaurant before going home.... (Our solution then was to cover them with blanket or car cover)
Now, they have it as a standard package.
So for me, and even if I currently own a City,- Jazz is it!

The Jazz is a more useful all-around hauler though the City will be a wise option for those who need a real trunk. They are just the same vehicle but with a different configuration.
Though with with the price of both cars about 900k already, I might as well go with an Altis 1.6G or Mazda3 1.5L.
However, if you want a zippy and great handling car, go with a Fiesta Ecoboost. The trunk has a cover but rear legroom is cramped. It's my daily drive. It's like a go-kart and scoots quickly when needed.

March 23rd, 2015 02:28 PM #5Cant beat the torque of an ecoboost fiesta though
Hp wise they are the same but the torque of the fiesta makes for more fun driving.

Honda's L15, on paper, makes around 120PS at 6600rpm and 145Nm at 4800rpm. Good luck though on peaking that tachometer at that rpm, unless you are able to go thru the 3 stages of i-VTEC in a hurry and reach the engine's max torque and power. Our 2009 City 1.5E feels slow and it takes a long time to reach its redline.
On Ford's 1.0L Ecoboost, it is rated at 125PS at 6000rpm and 170Nm at 1500-4500rpm with overboost (200Nm) at 5000rpm. You can redline that tachometer easily and the car just scoots.

A better comparison might be deducing from the Mazda 3 1.5V price the actual expense of 3 year maintenance of a Honda VX (6 PMS = one PMS every 6mos/10K PMS whichever comes first).
May I ask sir where did you get the 87K PMS package. I doubt I will reach even half of that amount with my vios in 3 years assuming same oil will be used and similar parts are replaced in a casa.

March 24th, 2015 11:58 AM #9This new gen City or Jazz paired with the CVT feels more responsive compared to the previous 5AT models. Although I agree the Fiesta's engine response and power is better

We can only drool at how much better the Fiesta ST with its 1.6L Ecoboost engine (197hp) can offer in terms of driving excitement.
Let's hope that HondaPH will bring the 2016 Honda Civic with its new Earth Dreams 1.5L turbo engine. Some say its power output, torque, and fuel efficiency will be better than the current 1.8L and 2.0L models.
How about 97 LXi?
