Jazz, Mazda 2 or Colt!

[Duadua2]

Between the three I would take the Jazz. It's already a CVT, so no extra for auto.

 

is there a manual Jazz in the market now?

[Seansene]

Um... yeah actually!

[Zombie]

Manual Jazz is 1K cheaper than the auto version.

[Duadua2]

how much ah the manual Jazz?

[Shsoh]

I would take the Colt. The other 2 have looks that don't last.

Why don't try the Ford Fiesta...? I heard that the handling

resembles the Focus.

Mazda2 is based on the Ford Fiesta platform but with a longer wheelbase.

 

UK's CAR magazine gave both Mazda2 and Fiesta 4 stars rating so i think they are basically the same. Just choose the body shell that you like.

Hi Husky,

 

Sorry to side track abit ... you owned a HUSKY?

[Husky]

I like Huskies but it's a torture for them to live in our climate

 

...My dog is a JRT

[Ravinged]

But I think they are much better off than Australia Sheperds, Shetland Sheepdogs or Collie already.

 

I have a cross corgi (Mongrel) and a Shetland Sheepdog.

Cool.

 

Actually one of the reasons i bought a car is to bring my dog out to the parks and beaches. Quite boring to bring her around my neighbourhood all the time. She gets to sit in the front passenger seat on a tray of course, with safety belt hooked to her collar for safety!

 

But I think we better go back to the topic

Colt is best in terms of value for marnee

 

U get CVT + MIVEC (ride is confirm beri smooth)

No hand clutch but foot clutch (nothing in the way of the bench seat, which makes it wider)

Firm seating, not bouncy or soft

Auto headlight and aircon

Slightly wider wheelbase compared to Jazz. (Handling better)

 

I think Coltplus should b coming out soon. This will hv another 300mm lenght, just like new Merc A series

I have ppl complaint that they don't like the smoothness....'souless' they said.

 

I personally like the design of the colt, but the everything else (FC,Flexibilty, etc) to the Jazz. The latter is very well rated in the UK. Unusual for a Jap hatch.

[Apollo]

aiya... nowadays with auto cars, no need shift gear. grown use to it liaoz.

[Silver_blade]

Ppl complaint that they cannot feel the gear change at all. To me, that is not very important.

[Apollo]

of cos u cannot feel the change, that's what cvt is all about.

 

here's a little read on CVT.

anyhow most car manufacturers r moving away fr MT.

[Robin]

i would go for the jazz or the mazda 2. a lot depends on your selection criteria eg HP, FC, price, looks etc lor

Not true. That only apply to S'pore and this Asia counries. Most ppl in europe will not even touch an auto car.
