Jazz vs other new small cars

[kimbi]

id be able to hold out till oct.. i just dont think i would be able to afford a new model like that? im assuming with the updates it will be pricier?

and whats with the vtec! the guy at honda said 'its always working, its not like your vtir civic where you can feel it kick in' *dammit!! i wanted to get a kick back into my seat from a lil jazz!!!*

[wyl03]

i doubt honda can increase the pricing on the facelift jazz. the small car class is the most competitive class and they cannot afford to price the jazz too high. they've got the pricing *just* right now, that's why it's selling so well.

any price increase will surely cannibalise sales from Civics too <- after all ,not a lot more expensive than the Jazz.

then again .. Honda does make some strange decisions .. just look at the current facelift Civic hatch. Absolute shocker.

funnie no one mentioned the mazda2..

As usual, the Honda salesperson you spoke spoke to knows sweet f*ck all. Only i-VTEC is "always working". The L15A in the Jazz has the old-skool SOHC VTEC setup. That said, don't expect a kick like your EK4. The DOHC VTEC is a completely different animal.

Price for the update will most likely be the same as current rrp. That said, you will probably be able to score a decent deal on the left over stock of the current model if you are looking to save a few $.

what about the corolla sportivo?

[kimbi]

sorry despite the fact my brothers best mate works for toyota and can assure me a decent deal on anything.. i would touch a corolla with a 50ft pole. Me no likey.

And the mazda2 is cute but its not my style, the 3 is nice in the sedan but like i said, if i want power options and ect its too expensive!

A civic hatch is like 30K so indeed alot more than a jazz!!!!

imo if u want something like ur ek4, corolla sportivo is probably the closest thing on the market atm.. mazda sp23 is a bit too pricey. whats wrong with toyota? i'd prefer toyota as a manufacturer over mitsubishi n nissan for the cheaper cars

[kimbi]

basically if i cant have an EK4 i dont want something 'like it' so thats why im swinging towards a small 4-door, thats less powerful and more comfortable.

I miss my old car!!! and i agree.. i wouldnt get a mitsubishi either, thats why my other front runner is the renault clio.. if only the fiesta wasnt a ford!! muwahahaha

i guess i just like hondas :P

get another ek4
did u get insurance payout?
there should be enough to buy anotehr one

[kimbi]

i bought my car very very cheap.. i got my insurance payout which was alot more that what i paid.. BUT my insurance per year is 2.5K on that thing and you lose your entire premium when its a write off.

Its left me a little pissed off so i dont want to A) have ro repurchase a car that will undoubtely not be as good a deal as what i got (not to mention its going to cost a fortune to mod from scratch again ) B)i wouldnt mind being one of the lucky few who dont pay more than 1500 for insurance.. which is what the jazz/clio are..

and i cant find an EK4 out there.

actually i personally thought the peugeot 206 is not a bad car, inside is spacier than the clio, but a bit old probably, what about the C2? it looks not bad.... in black only though , other colors not really, & its around 80kw, but if resale is your issue then probably only leaves jazz .. cos i suspect the french wont hold up...

there are a lot of problems with the 206's, even the 307's actually.
I haven't heard much about the Citreon, they look great, but from previous citreon experience, i would stay away from them too.
