    most or almost all Pajero jr came from subic so maybe it was converted RHD-LHD?

    jazz for me.

    you may look to other threads because i'm just newbie here

    agree with mikomac on this.
    if youre talking about a brand new unit, i'd go with the jazz. fuel consumption is a big factor to consider in favor of the jazz as well.
    but if reliable and trusted naman yung seller ng pajero and its in good condition, why not diba? lets wait for the experts.

    but in general, brand new trumps 2nd hand.

    I assume you are referring to the surplus fit. Both are converted units from japan. For me I would get the fit since you can source spare parts locally without problems. Yung pajero jr mahirap maka hanap dito coz its not sold locally. Passenger and luggage space mas ok din yung jazz. Check mo lang baka putol yung roof sa unit mo. Meron kasi iba surplus cars na hindi putol

    I'd rather get a local Honda Jazz.

    Between the two, the Pajero Junior is likely to get you more looks on the road, since it's rather unusual (though there are a lot going around).

    The Fit is more comfortable, more economical, more practical and doesn't require a PhD in Banawe-ology or your own surplus import business to maintain.

    But if you're getting a Fit, why not just get a local secondhand Jazz and slap a Fit badge on it? No fiddling with conversions, no problems with incomplete importation papers, and no worries about sourcing parts for the 4WD model which aren't available here.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Debadging a Jazz and rebadging it as a Fit will take just 10 minutes, too. :p

    Pwede din, Honda Fit lagyan mo ng Jazz emblem ... :hysterical:

    Kidding aside, I`d get the Honda Jazz. You wont be worrying about the conversion or whatever you're required to do for you to run a Fit. Can be costly if done wrong, IMO.

    *niky, 4wd pala ang honda fit ? mhmm ... sounds sweet. Only if you know what you're getting into. :hysterical: Conversion, papers, blah blah blah ...

    Some are, some aren't. The 1st gen JDM Fit also came with a traditional automatic compared to the local CVTs. Which would make it much more desirable, actually, if there were a reliable local source for parts for that transmission.

    How much does these vehicles cost? If say, konti lang naman ang idadagdag, better opt for a locally sourced unit. Many converted units have encountered a lot of problems (conversion, parts availability, safety issues, reliability issues).

    lots of honda fit at subic bay, been there last month numbering from 3 hundred units. Napadaan lang kami then silip lang sa mga dealers na mostly owned by pakistani's. Regarding sa papers, di ka na mamomobrlema pag nakarehistro na, first thing lang naman hahanapin kung sakaling paparahin ka eh ang customs receipt na requirement bago mabigyan ka ng plaka ng LTO. Maselan na din ang pagsita ngayon dyan and i have seen lots of Fit on the street having most of the options installed as stock.

    I'd rather stay away from the two choices. A local one will do if I were you.

    Do you mean 300 units of Honda Fit are currently in Subic? That's quite a lot!

    San ba lugar mo bro? Metro Manila? if surplus subic lang naman i would rather choose Nissan Terrano, Mistral, Pajero 4D56Turbo,4M40 and Land Cruisers..kasi palagi ng binabaha ngayun diyan eh.. recently wala namang bagyo, Low pressure lang binaha na ang kalakhang maynila. hehehe. be wise.. i'll go for Pajero Jr na lang...pero if pormahan din lang naman syempre sa FIT andami ng surplus parts niyan dito..

Honda fit or pajero jr?
