I even created an excel file that can help me compare easily each car make and brand based on all the features, pricing and x-factors. basically, my excel file reached column W. Thats how much information i was able to get from the website and downloadable brochures.

Sample comparisons:
Headlight: LED vs. Halogen
Fog Light: With or Without; LED vs Halogen
DRL: with or without
wheel size:
connectivity: usb, hdmi, etc
head unit: with navi vs w/o navi
cruise control:with or without
hands free call option: yes or no
keyless entry: yes or no
push start: yes or no
airbags: front only vs front and side
Hill STart/VSA/ABS: yes or no
rear camera: yes or no
seat material: fabric or leather
aircon: auto climate or manual

It all boiled down to specific preferences and what i think are bang for the buck features.

Bottomline:

All car dealers increased their pricing.

Lots of options at this price point:
chevy spark, sonic, sail and cruze
suzuki swift, ertiga, jimny
honda city, mobilio, brv, jazz
toyota altis G, vios, yaris
hyundai creta
mazda 2
mazda 3 entry level variant

so its either you pick a mid to top of the line small car or an entry level sedan or small suvs in the creta / ecosport/ jimny.

i found out that features wise it was a close battle between mazda and honda.

i decided to get the 2018 Jazz RS because I thought it was bang for the buck. And I have been a happy customer of Honda Makati sales and after-sales wise for a while now which helped me in my decision making. Yes I stayed safe with my decision but I'm sure I will not regret my choice.

I did the same thought process when I got a CRV two years ago. Basically, the mid variant CRV were loaded with features that you only get in much more expensive top of the line variants of other makes.

I am no racer. I just want a comfortable ride with less headaches and enjoying the latest available technology in the market now.

hope this helps.

To ALL: Thank you so much sa feedbacks and help sa mga newbies like me. All feedbacks are duly noted.

To Wakadus: Wow sir, todo research talaga. Kudos! Yes, I am in this kind of situation right now. Gusto ko lang din ng comfortable ride, hassle-free, fuel efficient and sporty look. Right now, Jazz talaga ko pero everytime na may nakakasalubong ako na Mazda 2 hatch or the sedan tapos yung Soul Red color niya parang mas nagugustuhan ko tuloy bigla. Iba yung dating nung kulay, ngaakit kasi. Hahaha! But as far as I know, Mazda has bad rep sa engines nila and also the resale value. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Any ideas guys?

Thank you!!!

personally, I would have went along with mazda 3 if there's little difference in resale value. the engine is not bad at all.

ended up with pre-facelift jazz vx mainly due to 2 things: resale value and bigger space for rear passengers.

navi HU is overrated in my opinion. mas ok pa rin waze (or maps.me if no data plan).

Sir, how much discount and freebies did you get for honda jazz vx 2018? And what car dealer?
I'm also planning to buy honda jazz vx 2018 this month. Mejo mababa kz mga bigay nila discount compare in the previous year na malaki agd initial discount n binibigay nila..

pre-facelift so 2017 version nakuha ko. got 55k discount from honda marikina for vx. outgoing na kasi kaya malaki

don't expect to get big discounts on newly released models regardless if facelift or all-new. suwerte na siguro kung bigyan ka ng 10k. i can pm you the contact details of the sales who handled my purchase, who knows he might be able to offer a better package than other dealers.

..Ok thank you sir, I'm still bargaining with different car dealers..so far 20k p ln cash discount max nbbigay sakin for 2018 model..

not bad if they are offering 20k. you might be able to haggle more freebies to be included that they don't normally offer such as visor, cargo tray and car cover. the rest standard freebies na tulad ng LTO, matting, free PMS, undercoating, tints, seat cover, etc.

wow! 20k discount for a newly released model is not bad at all!

when i got mine no discount at all. konting freebies lang nakuha ko.

one dealer was offering more freebies if i get the comprehensive insurance in house.

one dealer full windshield tint and a few freebies lang binigay as discount.

Question, how does the older pre-facelift jazz (2014-2015-2016) have a bigger space for rear passengers?

Anong meron sa bagong model na nagpaliit ng space sa likod?

medyo masikip because of the magic seats.. its flexible but its abit narrower..

in any honda showroom. if you try the rear seats of the jazz and the city.. youll find the city to be a bit wider.

i prefer a trunk over a hatch...

Sorry, I think you got confused. The pre-facelift Jazz also has the magic seats.

Ang tanong ko was anong meron don sa bagong jazz na wala don sa 2016 jazz, that made the new jazz have smaller rear passenger seats.
