    Which should I get? 2008 Jazz 1.5A/T or 1.3A/T?

    There's a 50 Thousand price difference. Primary concern is fuel consumption but i don't want to get M/T. Getting the top of the line is tempting for adding only 50 thousand.

    Ganda ng brand new jazz. 50thou lang price difference between the 1.3AT and 1.5 A/Ttop of the line.

    Which should I get? Will the fuel consumption be a big difference? how about long term maintenance?

    With a 50K difference I would personally go for the 1.5. But thats me, some people argue that 1.3 has better fuel economy and they have a point but it dpeneds from person to person for me a 1.5 is good enough for me fuel efficiency wise.

    1.3 AT.

    Spend the change on leather seats.

    Consider not only the base price... but the price of running the car. The 1.5 will consume more gas, has more expensive tires (16 versus 15 inch), will need slightly more oil per oil change (probably very slight) and will cost slightly more to insure.

    The only thing you get for that extra money is 20 hp more power. Not a big deal considering both cars are automatics, and if you're buying an automatic, you're not buying it for the speed.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    If i'd get the 1.3L AT. I'd get the 1.5L na lang.

    For 50K, another 20hp, power folding mirrors, signal repeaters and 16" rims are very attractive to me. Should you get the 1.3L for 50K then come the time na gusto mo mag upgrade ng rims, dun palang parang medyo olats na.

    Should you get the 1.5L and decided to change rims to even bigger one, mas ok pa din kase mas malaki ang trade in value ng 16" kesa sa 15" rims ng 1.3L.

    Pero wala pa din talo sa 1.3L kung yun man ang kunin mo.

    i would also go for the 1.3. imho, the 200 displacement difference does not matter in city driving.

    If the one and only consideration is fuel consumption, then the 1.3MT with 15" tires wins it hands down.

    But the question is between a 1.3AT and 1.5AT so allow me to share what made me chose the latter when I was initially shopping for the former.

    Like me, you're probably tired of the stop-and-go traffic in Manila so an A/T is a must. But like me, you're probably frustrated at Honda for pricing the 1.3AT and 1.5AT so closely. I guess, in the end, the desire to save on fuel lost out to what 50,000 buys you (arranged in no particular order of importance):

    1. 20 more horses
    - maybe you need this when you have 4 passengers and you're going up a really steep incline

    2. Storm Metallic color
    - unique to the 1.5AT
    - for me, better than white, blue, red, black due to the inherent issues with maintaining those colors

    3. security alarm

    4. power-folding side mirrors
    - hehehe aliw

    5. rear/side garnishes and different front grill (sorry I don't know the right term)

    6. 16" aluminum allow wheels (you look nicer but at the expense of FC)

    7. drive-by-wire and paddle shifters

    8. front seat height adjuster


    If all of the above doesn't appeal to you, then the 1.3AT would be the smarter choice. Good luck!

    If I may add, I wish that the 1.5AT had the following options:

    1. fog lamps

    2. USB connector for iPods

    3. moon roof

    4. tonneau cover

    5. ceiling mounted connection for rear 3rd seat belt

    6. driver seat folding arm rest

    I'll go with the 1.5L A/T, yeah it'll consume a bit more fuel but it will still be more fuel efficient than some other cars out there. The added features also makes it a worthwhile purchase.
