I am buying my first car, would like to seek for your good advices in terms of the ff:
1. Fuel Consumption
2. Comfortability
3. Interior Space
4. PMS Cost
5. Looks

Thank you!

1. Fuel Consumption - Jazz (not by as much as you'd think, though)
2. Comfortability - Fiesta
3. Interior Space - Jazz
4. PMS Cost - Fiesta (both 10k intervals)
5. Looks - Up to you.

Verdict? Buy an Accent sedan or a Mazda2 hatchback.

Mahirap yang pagisipan. Kung ako sayo test drive both cars, then ask what are the best deals and prices you can get..

Was it just me or did I find the Accent was just like driving a Vios? You know not that fun...

Pero besides that the Accent is a great car, the 1.6L Blue that is!

Pag napagod k na mag isip with those sleepless nights. Minsan sasaibihin mo sa sarili mo Vios nlang kunin para wala na sakit ng ulo. Dumating din ako sa ganitong point..Hehe

karamihan ng taxi sa davao e accent. nakakwentuhan ko ang ilang driver dun last time andun ako (mga 2 months ago) at ang angal nila (allegedly) e madalas daw diperensya nito e ung sa steering...

naresolve na ba to sa mga bagong labas?

sorry kung OT ha. eto para di OT: go Jazz!! (biased) hehe

pros: looks, space, comfort & interiors para sa akin. pinaka-comfortable pa rin ung jazz IMHO and also not the plasticky-fee of the interior.

FC depends on the driver & intended use really. my 1.3M/T GE - about 13km/li city driving
PMS not much difference i guess since both 10k PMs nga naman accdg to niky...

If it's the 1.3 MT Jazz, you will definitely get better economy than the 1.4 MT Fiesta. Lighter car, smaller engine. The AT Jazzes aren't really as good as the old ones.

The old Accent's electric steering assist was really unsteady. I think the electric motor was weak. But this was a common issue with early electric-steering cars. Heck, one of the tricks to going fast on the racetrack with the old Jazz was to saw away for a few minutes at the steering wheel before going on the racetrack, to overheat the electric assist motor... this made the steering better.

Not sure about the new Accent. Still have yet to get a long term test drive.

one trick also for a high ave FC in the 1.5 jazz is use of the paddle shifters.

relying alone on the car shifting for you would produce a decent FC but the paddles really help increase it

And then you will feel sleepless nights again wondering why you bought a boring to drive car and wondered what that hot Euro hatch felt like to drive?
