    If you are to choose what would you pick with regards to suspension, comfort, quality, price etc? ( a present for my wife.... )

    Ride quality and comfort, the Civic, definitely... followed by the Jazz. The Innova may have coil springs instead of the default leaf-springs of other AUVs, but a body-on-frame probably won't make it as pliant as the cars.

    If your wife is going to be driving the vehicle, though... I think the Jazz is the best choice. Cute, easy to drive, easy to park and easy on the wallet in terms of gas.

    bro... if you can afford it... why not?

    it looks great... has an adequate engine... handles nicely without being too harsh... has tons of new features (including a trip computer, rear aircon vents, hi-tech dashboard material, etc).

    In terms of suspension and comfort, the Civic wins hands down. If you are getting the Civic may as well wait until April or May this year when Honda will start selling the all-new model.

    In terms of price, the Jazz is the winner amongst the three.

    The Innova, on the other hand, cannot compare to any of the two other choices since it really belongs to a different class. Being based on a ladder-frame chassis, the Innova cannot replicate the kind of smoothness in ride that the Civic and Jazz possesses. But it compensates with sturdiness that the ladder-frame chassis affords it. The Innova is also very flexible serving as people or cargo hauler, and with almost the same feel of a car's driving dynamics.

    Jazz is the best choice. I'd rather have an Altis over the Civic, and the Innova's ride isn't as good as a car.

    Why not? The 1.5 VTEC has all the safety features you would need in a vehicle (ie. dual srs airbags, Abs w/EBD+BA, crumple zone). Due to its low ground clearance (like any other cars), it should be excluded from crawling through rotted/rough terrain or SUV-only suitable territory.

    I presume that this is your 2nd or even 3rd car. If you already have a car then go for the Innova, on the contrary, if you already own a utility vehicle (AUV, SUV, van etc) then a car will be a practical choice.

    If you're after ride comfort - get the CIVIC or wait for the 8th Gen Civic probably in the 2nd quarter

    Misty Violet/Purple (a.k.a. Midnight Purpble/Violet)
    My favorite color (at sana na mailabas ito dito sa Pinas)

    Since you have an SUV the most practical vehicle to acquire is a car (for comfort). My vote goes to the civic, pwede and wife mo mismo ang magdrive or if you have a driver ok pa rin. Parang hindi bagay sa Jazz ang my driver (just my opinion).

    You can google for the 8th Gen civic or buy the March 2006 issue of topgear

    That would be pushing you off the price segment of the vehicles you wanted to be compared in the first place. The Ford hatch costs Php 1,025,000. The catch for getting this Focus hatch is for its engine and great handling characteristics. Space/cargo-wise, I think its a bit larger or the same as the Jazz

    The 8th Gen Civic is softly suspended, according to owners. Kaya nga yan ung una kong suggestion.

    The Jazz has a stiffer ride, but it's not uncomfortable daw long distance. I'm kind of iffy on the seats, myself, but I still think it's an excellent commuting car for the wife.
