we're planning to buy a new car this summer.. the looks of the city is good but its a bit old now since it was released in 2008.. and then there's the facelift jazz.. its new.. they said that the jazz is better than the city no doubt..

but its 20k more.. i have few questions..

is the 20k more jazz worth the money than the cheaper city?

is the audio system of the city and the jazz the same?

and which has better interior..?

tnx for answering the questions guys..

went to the showroom last week but forgot that its holyweek.. CLOSED!

Personally, I hate the new facelift jazz. The bumpers are screaming 500whp, while the rims scream " HEY IM CHEAP ! "

Seriously, who would think that those set of alloys cost more than 5k ? :hysterical: ... without rubbers of course. Hahaha.

Anyways, still, the practicality and the enjoyment you get from car cannot be set aside. So unless you need the transformers look of the city plus the rather small-ish trunk, then get the Honda Jazz.

Of course you cannot exchange the fact that it's really an advantage having a trunk, but with the interior space of the Jazz ? it would already suffice. It has enough space to boot your bicycle in, you bags etc. etc. However, if you're the guy who brings his family with him every month in the grocery and spends 20k worth of groceries every month ( that's a lot of grocery bags I tell you ...

), then get the City. Because for sure you can use that trunk and spare yourself from the complaints of the backseat passengers who does nothing but blabber about the impracticality of the Jazz for not having a trunk. :hysterical:

Besides that, the City will have no use. The Jazz is easier to park, maneuver and cut through people since it's smaller. It's enjoyable too since it's fast enough ( - check bigbigcar.com for Niky's review regarding the pre-facelifted Jazz )

Interior design, I have nothing much to say. Props to honda for having nice plastics inside. From their cheapest car - City 1.3A - to their most expensive vehicle - Honda Accord 3.5 V6 - their plastics are top-notch !

If it's worth the added 20k ? Sure it does. Fresher looks. 500whp bumpers. What more can you ask for ? ... - oh wait, there's something. A different set of alloy rims.

Goodluck !

hmm... so i guess it's still na jazz? haha.. i'm just 21 and my parents is letting me choose between the two cars for my grad gift this may.. you said that the rims are kindda cheap.. my plan after having the car is changing the rims... so the alloy is not kinda of a prob. i guess..

Yes. And in fact, the Jazz has a wider array of modifications to choose from compared to the City.

Test drove the Old city....I hate the torque...
Go for the jazz...it's smaller and faster. Congrats on the graduation! Swerteng bata!

20K na difference ng jazz at city? Lumaki pala.

**Philip0021** · May 8th, 2011 07:03 PM

ou nagincrease ng price ang jazz ng 10k eh..

I'd take the Jazz for the added practicality and more sporty nature. Not a fan of the recent facelift though. Somehow, especially in the yellow-orange color reminds me of a golden hamster complete with the buck teeth and cheek pockets. Oh well, that's just me.

If practicality is not that important to you, then I suggest you make your mother happy and get the City but make sure its got fogs already so the bumper doesn't look bare, have xenon bulbs installed and change the rims and there you are with a sporty ride!
