its an endless argument, i cant deny that they can be useful, but they are too much of a middle ground for my liking, a smaller more efficient sedan can do most of what an SUV can....

i smaller sedan krogoth can't carry enough gear for a family of 5. If u can fit a weekend trip away for a family of 5 into a jazz i will eat my hat. Im sure a jazz can do whatever a rwd/awd can do. But the problem is boot space roof racks bike racks for families.

While your friends are bitching and moaning about spending ridiculous amounts of money on petrol and insurance, you have the money to spend in other areas... i.e. like the ladies hahah..

Anyways, its better then driving an excel =p

whats wrong with the excel its the same as a jazz in the end, just a poor mans verison.

what about renault clio. everytime i see it on the roads it looks so pansy/girly. my mate's gf drives one. i didnt have respect for it until i saw an episode of top gear with the clio v6 edition being tested. god thats a beautiful looking car.

same story with the jazz, ek, eg, or any car really. if a person who knows nothing about ek9 sees a dead stock ek1 with a girl on the wheel, straight away what comes to mind is "thats a chic car no way ill be driving that". but then with the proper kits, wheels and mods it would actually look nice and be 'manly?'.

jazz is a sweeeet car when you do it up with taste. like mars said, itll be one of a kind ride (in terms of looks of course).

You are comparing a V6 to a 1.3ltr Jazz. Two totally different cars. You can say that about any car even the excel we're talking stock standard jazz. Everyone knows its marketing target is women.

I would go a Clio in a set, all teh douche bags drive them and their not half bad for twisties.

no i wasnt comparing whats under the bonnet, just aesthetically, the factory done up clio v6 looks really nice compared the stock standard clio non-v6

if OPs term 'manliness' means looking into what engine the car has, then its the same deal with a 1.6l EK1 it would be a pussy car compared to commodores etc

the marketing target of the stock jazz would i guess be women alright, but if honda was to release a factory modded jazz with for instance a wide body kit, 18 inch rims, sorta like a racing spec then it would be a different story

yes it would be a differences story too many if/and/buts, fact is they dont. The target is young gilrls/single women.

imo if people think driving a jazz is a chicks car, then just get a civic, gets you from A to B with almost the same fuel consumptionish

but man... there are soo many freggen fd's around

if you think about it, i wouldnt mind owning a jazz, seems like fun, also tyres and wheels are so much cheaper :)

no one stopping you from owning a jazz ;)

rather get an evo haha

A jazz is great for a daily (especially in the city for parking) and cheap on fuel, insurance etc. U also want to consider what u use it for i.e do u go for long road trips and if you play sport, it may require you to lug around big items. If u don't care what ppl think and u like the jazz then get it coz at the end of the day it's up to u and ur the one that'll be driving it.

I honestly wouldn't mind a jazz. My masculinity isn't invested in what car i drive. Sounds more like peer pressure to me.
