The Jazz is made in Thailand.

Wait a minute... this is the nth time that I've read that kind of post.

That's because that's all he ever says. :hysterical:

Matrix:

Pros:
- wider, airier feeling due to big windows.
- rear cabin power socket
- comes stock with luggage rack
- diesel power, fuel efficiency
- better riding, since, of course, it's a bigger and heavier vehicle

Cons:
- Hyundai resale value (which is offset by the fact that it's diesel, and diesel resale value is often better than gas)
- no automatic
- rubbery shifter
- easily scratched and kinda cheap looking plastics

Jazz
Pros:
- Terrific CVT
- Great fuel economy (for a gasoline engine)
- Great performance (in 1.5 form)
- Terrific handling, good control ergonomics
- ULT seats give best-in-class cargo-flexibility

Cons:
- Still not as big as the Matrix
- Stiff ride
- A bit expensive
- Rattling trim (varies)
- CVT sensitive to electrical changes

If I were being practical, Matrix. If I were to use this as a personal ride (solo only), Jazz 1.5 MT.

The Jazz is more aesthetically refined, and more performance-oriented, while the Matrix is more utilitarian (though it would be better if Hyundai had a similar setup to Honda's ULT).

Naaaliw talaga ako sa Matrix. It runs on the same fuel as my ride, and has the same fuel capacity - but the similarity ends there. If I had to trade in my ride right now for a smaller car, I'd get a Matrix, with the added bonuses of CRDi and VGT. And the lack of an automatic doesn't bother me at all, being a fan of stick shifts.
