Jazz vs other new small cars

all small cars look like shoes these days...
but the jazz is a better looking shoe.. (if u know what i mean)

technically and practically, its a better car than my VT commodore (any car is better than a VT commy for that matter)

and honda build, quality and resale values will see it a cut above anything else.. (plus the added little bonus of vtec (which u cant feel kick in - but it's there))

ok, hondas might have pricey parts n all but it's a lot cheaper than ur euro small cars and plus, u dont have to downshift to overtake on a highway in a jazz (well i dont anyway) whereas the bigger (eg 2.0L) euros do...

thats my 5 cents worth...

wut bout the echo sportivo?
1.5l ...100kw

seen dis HOT panda one dumped on 17's.... fooken hot mangz!

no no
only 80kw for the echo sportivo

oh is it??
damnz... my bad...
always thought it wuz 100... :P

well the peugots and vw polos ect are only like 50kW (or there abouts) and theyre far mosr expensive with less features, so i wouldnt consider either of those.. and the citroen C3 is a pull apart car.. litterally parts can be pulled off by accident! (saw a review on 5th Gear if any of you know that show on foxtel)

I went to check out the jazz again on the weekend and they arent very flexiable with the prices (mofos) my mom wants me to get an auto so she can drive it.. and well.. ive always done what my parents tell me (grr.. i wish i was a norty kid!!) Auto vtis is 26.5, or vti *with that classic pack* 25.1 (which i honestly think is ridiculous).. manual vits is 24, vti *with classic pack* is 22.8

freaking hell! i hate car dealers.. :P whats the best way for me to get it as cheap as possible.. my daddio and i tried but werent so succesful, and the dealer called me this morning and left a voicemail message about the car (i was prepared to buy on sun for the right price..but didnt cause it wasnt good enough) any suggestions? cause if i dont get this cheap im defecting to renault!!!

I reckon the Jazz's are better with the CVT gearbox anyway :)

Just shop around with dealers. I found a fair difference in drive away rrp prices from dealer to dealer....around $700 difference actually.

yup. the polo is about 55kw. it has a nice solid German build but at 55, it will be wheezing on the freeway before long. it's just so-so on features/accessories and rather heavy too.

the mazda2 is nice & sporty.

but both cars above have fuel consumption a good 20% more than the Jazz i reckon (if that's a big deal to you).

the manual vti price is about the same that i paid for my jazz. mind you, mine was not the classic pack, so i don't have the rear spoiler & rims. :(

i have shopped around and this is the cheapest i have found.. other dealers are charging 1K for that classic pack :( so far ive been to warrick farm honda (the one near the little harbour bridge thing as the entry), rick damelian and also trivett in parramatta.

im very serious about buying this before the weekend, so ill just have to try harder :confused:

i got my car from Hornsby Honda. check with them. talk to either peter chan or Les .. Les makes the final decisions but he's usually busy.

i would avoid honda eastwood .. they wouldn't even let me test-drive their car. wtf.. ? :rolleyes:

Ill prob give them a call tomorrow morning and lay the smack down. Cause i want this car right now - not asking for any freebies like "$250" mats or tinting.. *maybe one of those honda racing teddies :P* just a bit more of a saving.. i mean the one im after is on the floor now so i should be looking at a better discount.

But if thats just not possible and im asking too much, then ill look for something i can afford *wipes tear from eye*

I'm going to pick up our Jazz this saturday at Rick Damelian.

Do you want me to give the salesman your number?

like I said earlier, we got a straight swap for our car for a VTi-S auto with tint, mats, and weathershields. And our car trade in value was 25,000
