er....i chop if throttle2 change to jepun [laugh]

 

 

for my wife....not me.

 

as mentioned, mileage per month expected to be very low maybe about 200km only

[Throttle2]

Bro, are you looking at off peak car? Now quite tough to find below 40k and Japanese make. Unless you don't mind Korean, then probably there is chance of finding one. Else, it has to be OPC else below 40k can't get jazz or fit.

 

not looking at OPC mate.

 

I want to buy direct from owner, just pay cash and get it over with.

I think i would be able to offer better price than any dealer, right?

Fiat 500 ?

[Throttle2]

so far, it's come down to the following (budget can be a bit higher by not pass $45k)

 

Jazz

Swift

Mazda2

March

 

(not in any particular order)

 

Would be even better to hear from direct past experience with these cars.

 

thanks folks

She say that she doesnt want me to spend much as i am the sole breadwinner, she doesnt want to add any extra unnecessary burden.

 

so she has rejected Mini, Beetle and other better conti makes.

[Mllcg]

jazz would still be best among your shortlists

Among your shortlisted car model, i would find jazz the best. Good FC and not bad interior space. I have 2 friends also bought an used jazz recent 1-2 years.

Lol, if doesnt want to add extra unnecessary burden, then should not buy any car.

Jazz has one serious shortcoming, it is very underpowered and slow. Fast driver like myself, no way.

prev generation jazz may have minor CVT gearbox problems (though not on the level of VW currently lol)

I don't know if the current generation has so many CVT gearbox issues.

Jazz is probably the most spacious of the 4.

 

Aesthetically wise, i think all 4 are pretty nice lady's runabout cars Just ask ur wife to go sit in all of them and find out which one she prefers bah.

The March may have certain qualities that a lady could prefer over the others. Sat in 1 before and it feels more of a lady's car than the others.

latio/latio sport is a very good alternative.

Had driven my friend's jazz and swift before.

Jazz 1.3 is seriously underpower, while the swift has quite a small interior

 

The Latio in my opinion have a better overall package (equipment , comfort, space, reliability and drivetrain).

Can try the E model which comes with keyless, digital climate, coupled with beige interior and textured upholstery(non-leather), in a nice sunny colour.
